text: Yes and no. I can forgive people for things they've done to me, and they can do likewise. \n\nBut if you're asking whether humans can take away someone's guilt by forgiving them, then no. When we sin against someone, we also sin against God, because we're rebelling against the way He made us. So only God can forgive us and take away our guilt.\n\nIs this what you were asking? If not, let me know.
