If you had not ignorantly dismissed everything up to this point you might have been able to see the picture of forgiveness I was laying out for you on your own.
God has 'Laws' much like the local ones. (they just extend beyond the jursdictions that make local laws 'local.') And without Chirst/Forgiveness Much like the local laws, your crimes against God will not be forgiven. For it is with a greater more authoritive demand for a much more sever punishment than any local law can provide that we, in our unforgiven state face.

If I owe Smith ten dollars and God forgives me, that doesn't pay Smith.
Ignore Drippy. He suffers from terminal idiocy.
Why would God forgive Mr. Ingersol if he owed Mr. Smith money? It is not a sin to borrow money.
