I have done that, friend. GOD says we must forgive. That is a given. I will believe my Bible, you believe what you get out of it.

Read it again

2Co 7:10 For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death.

Luk 17:3 So watch yourselves! “If another believer sins, rebuke that person; then if there is repentance, forgive.

If there is no repentance, the transaction is not complete.

We are called to forgive IF there is repentance. If there is no repentance, it is something else. You are giving it over to God but it is not a completed transaction.
