I think you completely miss the point that 1 John 1:9 makes for the child of God.

You have confessed with a repentant attitude and God therefore has completely forgiven and forgotten. At that point regarding that particular sin, should you ignorantly and mistakenly utter, "Father, forgive me," what do you do when He says, "Forgive you? for what?" which would be His response.

As I say, you do not seem to understand God's process. Clinging to past sins means you have not forgiven yourself, for which God has no compassion when He has taken care of it all.

No.
You have missed in every way, shape and form the point I made.

I may as well have stated that the “sky is blue,” and you have answered the equivalent of “no no no that’s wrong; the nineteen eighty two mustang had a four speed manual transmission. “

The acceptance of forgiveness of sin is comparatively simple.
The separation from one’s child is a wound that reopens when something reminds one of the child which isn’t there.

That cannot be completely healed in this lifetime. Only lessened.
