No, I think the fathers opinion is irrelevant, the only forgiveness that counts is the forgiveness of the wronged.

Irrelevant.
Quote:Just like if Bill were to cut the balls off of Ted. Ted is being physically assulted, but in the larger picture Bill is also breaking the trust of the community at large. as such the people of San Dimas would also demand that bill pay for his crime against the community trust. It is to this larger "communal trust" that you are seeking forgiveness from God.
Again irrelevant.
The local law may be applied as local laws will, but he would not be "forgiven" of his crime, only punished or not as the local law demands. the only one with the right to forgive is the person directly wronged.
