Achieve forgiveness? Why do we need it if we're innocent?
You don't make any sense. You can't "achieve" forgiveness. It's
either given or not. We can't force it out of another, even if that
other is God, in which case, I have no clue how you're going to find
out about it, and neither do you, but you can always lie about that,
and I can't fathom why anyone would want to forgive you for that,
including God.
Have you ever considered using the dictionary definition of the word
"forgiveness"? Words, after all, are human inventions that we have
all agreed to share the meanings of so we can communicate
effectively. The point in re-defining words is to create a sense of
Specialness and Importance in those who adopt the completely different
version and then sneer down their noses at all the stupid people who
don't know what the word **really** means, which is one great way to
make horse's asses out of gullible people by isolating them from the
rest of humanity.
