what is the meaning of to err is human and to forgive is Divine
The meaning of "To err is human, to forgive is divine," means that everyone makes mistakes, but if someone wrongs you it takes a supernatural power to help you forgive them. In your essay focus on comparing the propensity to make mistakes and the challenge one experiences with forgiveness.
Being angry & holding a grudge violates the Commandment to "love thy neighbor as thyself". Also, Jesus Himself said to love our enemies. It isn't a Commandment of God but it is divine advice. Furthermore, when we hold a grudge it is because we have failed to forgive for some reason, isn't it? Christ said to forgive 70 X 7 and that if we did not forgive, we ourselves will not be forgiven by the Heavenly Father.
