Absolutely not! In fact, I'm pretty sure "forgive and forget" is not biblical at all. Forgiveness is to love someone in spite of an offense, to not hold it against them or let it stand as a barrier between you. That does not mean that you necessarily pretend it didn't happen, or put yourself in harm's way again. Even after Christ rose from the dead, there was punishment in the early church. It isn't out of revenge, but out of love that people are punished, but it certainly can't happen if a sin is forgotten.
Feel free to write back and continue this interesting conversation.
