[Cletus.D.Yokel]

KC is correct, it redirects the conscience to focus on God the Savior and not toward that which offends.
This is rightfully a repentance of conscience for the forgiver.
BOTH hearts are (should be) changed.

Yet the forgiveness is not the same as the “forgetness”.
The shaking off of sandals is a good example.
It is more difficult within a familial setting but consistent forgiveness for the same offense is being implied.
While the offense reappears, so too should the same gracious forgiveness.

Some other terms we should consider in this offense-forgive-repent cycle are: contrition and regret.

And, know that repentance, in every instance, works both ways because we are all sinners and apt to do the same.
People is people.

Forgiveness, like Grace is not cheap.
We are told to avoid those who continue to sin and mock your gracious forgiveness, time after time.

I did not say she was wrong, I said it was not complete.

Is our forgiveness from God complete?
