Erika Kirk’s Speech Inspires Actor To Forgive A Killer

[Conservative Angle]

​

It was a powerful and touching moment when Erika Kirk spoke earlier this week.

During her eulogy she spoke of forgiving the person that took Charlie Kirk’s life.

That speech made waves across the world.

And one person it hit was actor Tim Allen.

He took to social media to voice how he was inspired by that to forgive.

Zero Hedge reports on the story:

Actor Tim Allen says he has finally been able to forgive the man who took his father’s life six decades ago after listening to the moving eulogy Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, delivered earlier this week.

During the conservative commentator’s memorial service in Glendale, Arizona, on Sept. 21, the mother of two expressed forgiveness for her husband’s killer, who shot the Turning Point USA founder while he was speaking to college students at an event at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10.

The suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, has been charged with aggravated murder and felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, among other crimes. Prosecutors announced that they intend to seek the death penalty.

“I forgive him because it was what Christ did, and is what Charlie would do,” Erika Kirk said in part during the memorial.

“The answer to hate is not hate. The answer we know from the Gospel is love, and always love.”

On Thursday, Allen, 72, took to social media to share that he was greatly touched by her words.

Allen’s father, Gerald Dick, was killed in November 1964 in a car accident caused by a drunk driver.

The actor, who was 11 when the accident occurred, said he would have been in the car that day had he not decided to spend time with a neighborhood friend.

In his own words:

When Erika Kirk spoke the words on the man who killed her husband: “That man… that young man… I forgive him.” That moment deeply affected me. I have struggled for over 60 years to forgive the man who killed my Dad. I will say those words now as I type: “ I forgive the man who killed my father.”
Peace be with you all.

It’s something that I think we all have to deal with.

Forgiveness is something everyone generally agrees with until their the person that needs to forgive.

Also, unforgiveness can literally make you sick. And I’m not gonna let someone who wronged me cause me to get sick on top of whatever else they did to me.
