To: Mr Rogers
Mr Rogers, Sorry I didn't answer sooner. I think we are on the same page for the most part.

I contend that there is no provision or need for a man to forgive sins committed against God for God and determine a punishment/penitence for those sins. Only God can do that. Thankfully He has through the finished work of His Son!

I can and must forgive sins committed against me by others before God can forgive me of my repented sins.

I cannot forgive a sin perpetrated against you or another. You or the other individual must do that for your/their forgiveness from God.

The Holy Spirit will guide us in those pursuits if we ask.....BVB
