When God forgives someone he does so perfectly.
sorry to barge in, but I distinctly remember numerous conversations with you on various threads whereby you repeatedly alluded that God forgives you
only if you accept certain terms & conditions, namely the theory that Jesus is his Son who died for our sins.
Now, how can you sit there straight-faced and claim that God forgives 'perfectly' ?! You seem to be equivocating constantly, almost from one post to the next.

Forgiving someone simply means paying the price of their offence against you yourself. Perfect forgiveness means paying the price yourself perfectly. As in completely.

It simply means that any debt due to God justice for sin committed against his justice has been discharged.
Again, we had this discussion before and every single time you failed to explain what -if what you say above is true- is the point of accepting Jesus as your saviour and everything else your theology dictates?
If the price/debt has been paid and we are 'perfectly' forgiven -as you claim- then it doesn't matter whether one accepts, or even knows Jesus at all! We're all forgiven, we're all going to heaven, christians, muslims, atheists, everyone and their dog!
Here's another chance to clear up this confusion, although I'm not holding my breath.
Alternatively you can just be honest and admit the God you worship isn't perfect at all but rather a..ahem..idiosyncratic and quirky god.
