Hurting YHWH's feelings, apparently. It's a real big deal to him. The apologists tell me the whole justification for free will is so he can know who really loves him. If we sufficiently hurt his feelings over the course of 80 years, we get tortured for infinity years; however, when we deal with each other, we're supposed to forgive those slights.
Weird.

If you're saying God cannot forgive, that seems like a limitation, thus he's not omnipotent. Changing his mind or not, it's a limitation.
Also, why does God tell us to forgive yet he doesn't forgive, himself? Is he asking us to behave in a more exalted way than himself or a less exalted way?
