However, God really is the celestial exchequer, so to speak. What you owe to someone else, you owe truly to Him first and He has rights to forgive it. You are not under a cloud of unforgiveness if you’ve done something you can’t rectify, or can’t rectify very well. Rectifying the relationship where possible is a good witness, you shouldn’t shuck it off gratuitously, but each person has his or her own account with the Lord and the Lord can (and ultimately will) more than make up in blessing to someone else what they may have lost to you when you could not do anything or could only do something partial.

Now please try not to distort what I said too much. If you find yourself greatly tempted to distort... tell that devil to take a hike.

However, God really is the celestial exchequer, so to speak.  What has this to do with appologizing to my fellow man?  I understand the concept of confessing before God and trying not to sin again.  None the less, that wasn't what I was expressing, and expanding the topic as you have here is simply a selfish way of showing off, and acting as if you and nobody else has the proper relationship with God.  And all this is an exercise in you trying to damn anyone who hasn't bought into the Palin mind-meld yet.  You should be ashamed of yourself.

What you owe to someone else, you owe truly to Him first and He has rights to forgive it.  What I owe to someone else, is something owed to that person.  God cannot forgive me on their behalf.  He can only forgive me on His behalf.  I cannot and should not confess my infraction only to Him, or even to Him first.  If I realize an infraction on my part in the moment, I don't take a time out to run it by God if I should appoligize or not.  That's absurd, and so has been much of what you have offered up here today.

You are not under a cloud of unforgiveness if you’ve done something you can’t rectify, or can’t rectify very well.  Please point me to where I made that case.  Oh, that's right, I didn't make that case.  So off you go into the wild blue yonder AGAIN!

Rectifying the relationship where possible is a good witness, you shouldn’t shuck it off gratuitously, but each person has his or her own account with the Lord and the Lord can (and ultimately will) more than make up in blessing to someone else what they may have lost to you when you could not do anything or could only do something partial.  Oh thank you.  I had no idea.  Honestly, I have quite a bit of patience, but I've reached it here.

Now please try not to distort what I said too much. If you find yourself greatly tempted to distort... tell that devil to take a hike.
  Okay, take a hike.
