So much for “no one owes you anything.” If respect is earned and not owed, then forgiveness is the same way. You EARN forgiveness, you’re not entitled to it. Also, if you’re not even sorry for it, why do you care someone’s holding a grudge?
The Western Evangelical killed that concept. Jesus forgave everyone, so no effort is required on your part to gain forgiveness. No sorry, (except maybe a performative one) no effort to change, just claim Jesus got it for you. Even the Bible indicates that you have to make an effort to make ammends and work to change yourself.
Also “no forgiveness”?
