I have a better solution to forgiveness: Don't bother with it, but just treat people as if nothing had happened. Don't bother with the theory, but chalk it up to experience. The parable in St Matthew 18.22-35 bristles with moral problems, and gives a truly hideous picture of God as an "Indian giver", as a trickster, liar, deceitful, narcissist, vindictive, unjust and cruel. In no sense is the god in that parable merciful or righteous, but vindictive, hypocritical, and endlessly revengeful & unrighteous. I cannot believe that Jesus would have told a parable that represented God as evil, as that parable does. It is trash, just as parts of the OT are trash. (one thinks of Joshua the Nazi Gauleiter, piously exterminating whole towns because his "god' tells him to. Joshua would have been hanged for crimes against humanity, as men guilty of far less were hanged. But the NT seems to praise him). But one can read one commentator after another, without finding any mention of the spiritual & moral problems with this problem. These problems cannot be ignored, because they are in the text. Therefore, these problems need to be shown up, and discussed, instead of being piously ignored. The Bible is a very unsafe guide to how people should live.
