Did mean it
Hi
One guys says: "It's not part of our culture to think about the past, we think about the future"
then another guy (telling someone about the first guy) says: "I thought grace was a Judaeo - Christian idea, but he really did mean it"
--- I understand that the second guy says that he knows that being a Judaeo Christian is important and it is a kind of grace, but that guy really lived according to the rules of Judaeo - Christian ideas.
Thanks

It's hard for me to give you a good explanation without more context - is the first guy saying that he looks toward the future as an explanation of why he is able to forgive someone, perhaps? Anyway, "grace" is a concept that has occupied great theologians and entire volumes. Grace is a gift, given freely by ***.

- Martin Luther claimed that our salvation comes directly through ***'s grace and does not depend on anything that a priest does at church (see Reformation, Protestan).
- " All this to say that the second guy is not saying that being a faithful believer in the Judaeo-Christian deity is important, but more likely either a) the first guy shows that receiving ***'s grace has transformed his life, or b) that the first guy, like ***, is bestowing the gift of grace on others.

The Japanese man, by not only forgiving the country who killed his family but by going on to help Americans with their work, has demonstrated the quality of grace. The speaker had thought that the ability to forgive such a grave injury, and to forgive it completely, could only result from believing in the power of the Western ***'s grace (or at least with a cultural familiarity with the concept).
