2 Corinthians chapter 2 is about granting pardon (indulgence) and pronouncing penance. The fact that this truth may conflict with YOPIOS or what some store-front charlatan told you doesn't change the truth.
Yes, I would never read the bible myself nor would I ever look up the Greek meaning of the words to see for myself what the bible says. I must needs find me “some store-front charlatan “ to interpret the scripture for me. Perhaps in the future I will find me a Catholic who will tell me, “just read Mary, Mary, Mary into it and you’ll be fine.”
Amazing. This is what results when men do not read the Bible for themselves, but simply swallow what someone tells them and assume it is Scriptural when it is not. (It's also pretty funny how RC apologists can resort to defending their practices from Paul, whom thy regularly trash.)
In 2 Corinthians 2, Paul is telling believers that it is good to forgive each other our faults because it mirrors the forgiveness the Father has already granted His children when He accepted the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross as payment in full for every one of their sins. Therefore, He will remember them no more (Hebrews 10.)
The forgiveness we show others does not remove the sin of the transgression we are forgiving. Only God can forgive sins. By forgiving others, we become more Christ-like. We forgive because we know we have have been forgiven.
For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things? For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ." -- 2 Corinthians 2:14-17 "Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
