Once again, thank you for your follow-up answer about self-forgiveness. You did not address one issue in my more recent question:  How can we be our own judge and jury when we self-forgive?

We do not become our own judge and jury when we self-forgive because self-forgiveness does not take place in a court of law.  Instead, we do have a conscience, which allows us to discern right from wrong.  Our well-formed conscience can help us discern when we have done wrong.  Feelings of guilt can accompany this awakening of the conscience, motivating us to self-forgive, right the wrong, and seek forgiveness from others who were hurt by our actions.
