How do you forgive someone who doesn't believe they did anything wrong?
Also is forgiveness forgetting? Trusting? Excusing the wrong doing? Avoiding justice in the situation? Ignoring consequences?
How do I forgive someone who hurt me that isn't sorry, do I just pretend that it didn't happen? Try to forget about it?
I think that if they think they did not do anything wrong, then you need to enlighten them and let them know what they did. If someone feels they did not wrong you, then they remain blameless, at least in their own eyes. That is why in the scriptures, we are asked to talk about it if someone wrongs us, and if they do it again, confront them, and if they do it again, take another witness with you and confront them, and if they do not stop, leave them be and treat them like you would treat a pagan
In all of these we still forgive, but we have to set boundaries.
But you have to point it out to them. If after you let them know, and they apologise, as a christian we should forgive.
If they do not apologise, forgive them, BUT remember to stay clear of anything that will bring the same thing about.
If they remain a stumbling block to you, I would really stay clear of them. Staying clear of them does not mean you harbour resentment against them, it simply means you will not let anyone come in between you and your relationship with God.
If your right hand will cause you to stumble, cut it off is the same meaning as if someone even if its someone close to you is hindering your relationship with God, making you sin, making you feel guilty and devoid of energy and peace, cut them off from you.
cutting someone off or setting boundaries does not mean you do not forgive them. SO clearly two different things.
There are some people that like to easily pick fights and nitpick on others even when you have not done anything wrong. These kinds of people are to be avoided at all costs so they do not effect your relationship with God.
Keep it at the level of "Hi" or 'Hello' when you see them, and move about your business
