TF and Rich both completely miss the point in their scramble to play Semantic Twister.
Forgiveness stands independently of any version or notion of 'God'. The definition of 'letting go of a debt' is as it is used in their Bible! (Perhaps read Jesus' own parable of the wicked servant)

This is the most facile and puerile 'argument' that the religious can come with and they use it to cover any and all reprehensible actions and unprovable assertions concerning their deity.
Of course, that same line of 'reasoning' can be used to 'prove' or excuse any other religions FSM, as well.
Nope, not missing the point at all. Perhaps you can answer the question.
The tax collector said: “Lord Jesus, have mercy on me, a sinner.” Jesus said he went home “justified.”
