No, but many people mistake forgiveness with forgetfulness.
Man still has a responsibility on earth for his sins. God forgives the person's sins in heaven, Jesus paid the debt. That person will still owe restitution to people/society here on earth.
Yes, degrees of sin matter. Someone who stole a loaf of bread to feed his kid isn't punished the same as a bank robber doing it to get money for drugs would be.
Sin has it's consequences here on earth and even God's forgiveness doesn't stop the consequences of sin here on earth.
And divorce and child molesting are in no way comparable. What does God say about offending children?
