Nick: "For somebody to be forgiven, they have to be repentant"In fact, Christians are commanded to be forgiving even as the other person mocks or spites you.
The crux of Nick's issue is that he hasn't gone to church in years (I personally think he has never regularly gone to church based off how he admitted his parents weren't religious) and thus fails to grasp the basic fundamental duties of a practicing Christian. There really are countless examples of forgiveness without repentance such as Saint Stephen and obviously Jesus Christ. Not even registering one reflects extremely poorly on Nick as it shows how much of a larp his Christianity is. He just conflates forgiveness from a secular(his own) point of view with the Christian paradigm of forgiveness/repentance. It's something he does often to create the illusion that he is somehow righteous.
The forgiveness Nick means by his quote is something like the term "pardon" which is blasphemy as he posits himself as God granting his followers entrance to catboy heaven.
The forgiveness he should be doing is something similar to just releasing the anger and resentment he has towards Jaden. Jaden's repentance is not dependent on this type of forgiveness. It would be in Nick's own welfare as I think it would just make him happier.
In no way does he have to oblige Jaden by mending the friendship because that would just be stupid after what Jaden has done. And this is what Nick really means. It's that he has no obligation to make it right with Jaden. It has nothing to do with repentance, but he just has to interject his really poor understanding of Christianity into it because it is just how he copes.
Sidenote: I've been pretty impressed with Jaden's alogging streams on Nick and Beardson. And I don't actually want Nick to drop the anger and resentment he has towards Jaden. I'm still waiting for Nick to recover the shambles Jaden left him in with the KC stream he could do the Jaden killstream he promised months ago.
