psalm 51 comes to mind and also..

Create in me a clean heart oh Lord, and renew a right spirit within me.

Im sure Uriah would have forgiven David and Bathesheba must have been so beautiful that his initial approach probably wouldnt have even occured to David she was actually married or to ask. Small detail huh.
I dont know if any of you have been in situation where people get the wrong idea about you and nothing you can say or do can make them change their mind, cos they just aint listening!

another thing, sorry men, but for us ladies, men can be a bit thick.

God can forgive such a stupidity, even though sometimes we feel we can't.
it does takes guts to admit you done something really dumb.

I think we try and apply too many aspects of human reason to heaven. I think of it more like this. Say you grew up in a certain neighborhood. Your friend lived across the street. Once when you were 5 you argued over a toy. If, as adults you both lived in the same neighborhood, would this argument overshadow your interactions for the rest of your adult lives?

I believe that Heaven is so beyond our understanding (our minds are too fallen to understand it), I doubt we'll even remember the sins done against us. Assuming Uriah is in heaven (justified by Faith like David), I would say we're here because of the blood of Christ.
Every sin ever committed has to be paid for. Either at the cross, or the sinner is accountable for his own sin where he will be cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 21:8). My sins and people i've hurt (and there have been a lot) were paid for on the cross 2,000 years ago. Same for my brothers and sisters in Christ who sinned against me.
Anything outside of that, sins by unbelievers or those i'm not sure, i try to just humble myself and pray that their sins were paid for at the cross also. Hence, for their salvation.
