If I understand you correctly, you were saying that it is not a man's place to forgive his enemies.

That is against the teachings of God.

Yes, only God can forgive a man's sins, but only you and I can erase the enmity we hold in our hearts against another of God's children.

And to approach God to ask forgiveness of our sins as we do all day long, we must first forgive our fellow man. We can only ask for God's forgiveness once we have repented of our sins (and that includes forgiving those who have "sinned" against us).

Mat 6:14
For if ye forgive men their trespasses [against you], your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
Mat 6:15
But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

If you are spreading a Gospel that teaches that a person does not have to forgive his enemies, then yes, you are spreading a false Gospel.
