Exactly, so my question was, why didnt GOD forgive them if that is what we are supposed to do....forgive people for their sins.

Maybe because Adam and Eve directly disobeyed Him? That's what allegedly brought all the sins into the world, and from then on the world was no longer pure, and that's why Jesus died, to take on the sins. Forgiving people of their sins doesn't mean that *God* forgives them of their sins (to my knowledge); but if we do forgive others of their sins then it helps prevent resentment and anger etc building up in our hearts. That's my understanding of it anyway...
