How should you treat someone who does not want forgiveness?
154827
You forgive people for your own sake as well as for theirs.  If you hang on to the anger and bitterness you might feel for someone who has wronged you, you are hurting yourself, and probably not hurting or affecting that other person at all.\n\nSo forgive because it is good for you.  Rise above needing the other person to feel remorse.  Forgive for yourself, for your own well being, and we will all be better for it.

You have to be willing to forgive anyone that has hurt you, you can't be judgmental, that is Jesus job, not ours. You can hate the sin, not the sinner. We all sin. You have to believe, first and foremost. If you believe, then Jesus will lead you the rest of the way. Good Luck!!!!

OK lets try and unravel this into its core components.\n\nA police officer [I am assuming] has told you that you cannot approach and/or speak to this person.\n\nYou however, feeling guilty over whatever it is that you have done, feel an overwhelming desire to be punished for your transgression.\n\nThis is a normal reaction for many people as they feel the psychological need for punishment as this provides a sense of "closure" and a shift in guilt.\n\nIn your case you actually want him to do something wrong as well, not just punish you, as this means that he cannot point the finger at you because he has done a horrible thing too.\n\nI know people will say..go to your brother first before coming to the temple...but that does not apply to you in this situation.  You harbour no ill will towards this person!  You cry out to God because your sin is before you.  \n\nGod always hears this cry and you need to focus on your relationship with God first.  This is the path to forgiveness for you, not the friend.  You need to understand that God forgives you.  Then, you may be able to forgive yourself.  Finally you may be able to approach this person and ask forgiveness.\n\nRemember, they may not want to forgive you, and that is their right.  Your peace and forgiveness with God is not dependant upon this persons responses to you, even though you did the wrong thing.\n\nGod may be workingnin that persons life too, and Gods timing is not always ours.  Also, some people just need lots of time to be able to forgive, and just because you may be in a hurry to receive it, does not mean you should hurry them up.\n\nThats why it starts with God for you, so that if this man cannot forgive you, you have peace with God that you did all you could to ask for it....and who knows, in time that might help this man to forgive you anyway.\n\nForgiveness is something you ask for from another because it gives THEM the opportunity to heal from the hurt you have done to them.....\n\nIt is never asked for to make YOU feel better about the pain and guilt that you feel for having caused it.\n\nIn your case, you cant approach this person anyway, so this is a perfect opportunity to seek a counsellor perhaps to give you some support with your feelings and how to deal with them.

First of all, if you really love this person you'd be able to forgive him and overlook his transgression. But, if this is something that is a habit of his, then it should be obvious that he has no true respect for you, and without that he can't possibly love you in return. So, if this is just a one time incident, and you otherwise trust him, then tell him how you feel about this. If he asks for forgiveness, then give him a chance. If all he does is appologize, then he's probably not sincere. In that case you'd do better to move on and find someone else.

All you you have to do is ask for forgiveness and He will throw the sin into the sea of forgetfulness. God does not hold grudges. Once you accepted Jesus it was forgiven.

The best way to handle this is to say, yes, I did this, yes it was wrong, if that's what you believe, which you must if you feel guilty, and then realize that people make mistakes. If you can apologize and rectify it, do so. If not, well, people are human. Only God is perfect.

Apologies never make one look stupid. Being repentant for an infraction of friendship should not be a deal breaker. Asking for forgiveness should begin the process of reconciliation. If this person is not open to apology or reconciliation you should move on to a more appropriate friendship. To have friends you must be a friend. Sometimes friendship is letting go.

Try to make peace with enemies I may have made over the years. Being somewhat stubborn at times, this would be a good thing. Try to clear my conscience and ask forgiveness for  not so nice things done over the years, this could be done by 'clearing the air' with others. Get my personal business in order, so that others won't have to clean up the mess. Enjoy the remaining time with those who you love and respect .

stop trying to fix it. you are not in control of the universe. try looking at what you have done to contribute to the problem, and apologize without expecting them to apologize too. true forgiveness is realizing there is nothing to forgive.

Worst thing that you could do to your family??  Directly?  Indirectly?\n\nAnything can be forgiven if the one who is guilty of the transgression toward the family goes to each one of them, sincerely apologizes, and never repeats the transgression.\n\nUnfortunately, it will be up to the individual whether or not they are willing to forgive you.  Also, just because you're forgiven doesn't mean you will be allowed back into lives.  You can forgive someone; but you, very seldom, will allow them close enough to ever hurt you again. \n\nForgiveness from anyone is not a ticket to putting a relationship back where it was before the betrayal, and it's a very thin consolation for losing the trust of family. Sorry.

Well of course, you are only forgiven if you are truly sorry and repent.  If you are not truly sorry for your sin (s) then you are not forgiven for them.

Forgiving is difficult, and doing so without regrets is even more difficult. Remember this and it may help. Forgiveness benefits you the most. It is freeing, it unbinds you from pain and sadness that was caused by whatever event you are offering forgiveness. You can never fully get on with your life if you don't allow forgiveness.

Straight from the bible and through the mouth of my priest...  Forgive him.  But when to forgive him is entirely up to you.  Curse him until you are not mad at him but forgive him before you die.

Personally I try to forgive, but not forget.\n\nI believe in the saying "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me".  If someone has developed a pattern of behavior that is unkind and/or selfish that is their business, I just won't put up with it.

It isn't anyone's place to tell you how you is right or wrong.\n\nI can tell you this. Hate uses up a lot of energy. \n\nI was face with a big forgiveness issue a few years back. I found for me that I first needed to define what forgiveness wasn't rather than what it was.\n\nIt is not saying it is ok what was done to me.\nIt is not saying I have to trust this person\nIt is not saying I have to let this person hurt me again.\n\nSo what did I conclude it was for me? For me it is just letting go and letting be. It freed me up to focus on going on with my life and establishing relationships with other people who would not be hurtful to me.\n\nMy two cents worth any way.\n\nI wish you the best.

You can let them know that they are offending you and try to fix it ,or if you don't want to risk conflict ask someone to be a go between,or pray and ask god to take the resentment you feel away.

You can't just make someone forgive another, they have to want to forgive. The friend who wants to be friends should just be nice to the other person. Maybe even surprise them with nice little treats or presents to grab their attention.
