What is forgiveness?

Forgiveness is about the victim doing the forgiving; the act of forgiving does not absolve the perpetrator of the sin. 

It means that only the victims have the power to forgive, not the perpetrator.

It means without the confession, the remorse and the ask for forgiveness, there is no redemption.

No redemption means to the sinner only eternal damnation and no salvation.
