Yes, but He did not forget them. And He did so only because Christ's sacrifice was yet to come, otherwise no forgiveness would have occurred at all.

I see. So, under the new covenant, God actually forgets your sins. Can't remember them. He's all-knowing except for that. Got it.
But those sins of the OT times, that's another story. He forgave. But He remembered. "I'll forgive you for killing your boss, but I won't forget! Not for another thousand years, give or take!"
God is weird.

Psalm 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
I bet that one'll be easy for ya.
Oh, let me handle this one!
You see, Timmy, you are again reading something into it that isn't there. In this psalm, it says our transgressions are removed from us! Not remitted! Not forgotten! They're still there, albeit far, far away from you.
How'd I do?

I'm pretty sure Peter received a revelation directly from Jesus' heavenly father.
I'm SURE the revelation went like this:
Thou art (you are) the Christ, the Son of the living God.
So Prax, if I believe the exact same way that Peter declared; SPEAKING by revelation supplied by Jesus' own heavenly father, am I Apostolic....
of course I am.
Now, the important follow-up question is for all the folks who don't believe the scriptural record concerning what PETER, the Apostle, declared by revelation from God!
There are folks lurking among us who do not believe that the Christ was the Son of the living God but instead, they believe that the Christ was a God-man rather than God's only begotten son.
Imagine that, they take plain words and transform them into mysteries that only the initiated can read.

So I have a question....If God forgets our sins, how do we reap what we sow? How can He make us reap it if He can't remember it? Maybe it's Karma, or Mother Earth, or something. And if it's been forgiven, how could we reap it? If we have to reap it, is it really forgiven?

I could try to explain, but Mr. Stay-On-Topic would get mad.
