The Massive Difference Between Forgiveness Through the Cross and Forgiving College Debts

President Biden's announcement that he will forgive a certain amount of student debts has ignited a firestorm of controversy, with some pastors criticizing Christians who have a problem with the plan. After all, these pastors argue, since Jesus paid our debts on the cross, it is un-Christian for us to protest the president's plan.

In the words of activist preacher Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, "A whole lot of folks who supposedly pray, 'Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors' don't see debt forgiveness as an answer to prayer."

But comparing the forgiveness that comes through the cross with the government's select and partial forgiving of college loans is like comparing apples to elephants. They are that far apart and distinct.
