SO, ARE YOU QUESTIONING HOW THE GOD FORGIVES A PERSON?
Not at all. I understand how God forgives a Gentile that has knowledge of the Gospel. It's why the Messiah came, and why His name is "Yahshua" or "Yeshua", which means "YHWH saves".

Salvation through the shed blood of Jesus Christ is the "Good News" - the WHOLE SUBJECT of the Gospel. http://islamchristianforum.com/index.php?topic=1175.0
Matthew 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

It's how we can rest assured that circumambulating the Quraish's black stone idol, and running back and forth between Al-Safa and Al-Marwah as the pagan Arabian jinn-demon worshipers did - by following no other than Mohammed's 7th century law - will not remit sin.
HOW DOES YAHWEH MEAN GOD?
ccording to Biblical scholars, Abraham’s God was El, the High God of Canaan. This name of God was preserved in such Hebrew names as Isra-El, Ishma-El, or Beth-El. Bethel means house of Allah (In Arabic Bait Allah). The last words of Jesus, in his own native Aramaic language, on the cross:
Matthew 27:46 "Eli, Eli la’ma sa-bach’tha-ni? That is to say My God, my god, why hast thou forsaken me?"
It is interesting to note that the Aramaic "la’ma sa" is the same as the Arabic "why", and pronounced "lemasa." This is just one of the many words that shows the common origin of the Arabic and Aramaic languages.
In 1780, the German professor, J. H. Eichhorn discovered that there are two versions of many of the Biblical stories that are different in the details. He also discovered that one version refers to God as Yahweh. He called the writer of this version "J", which in German is pronounced like the English Y. The writer of the second version E referred to God as El (Elohim in Hebrew). J was from the southern Kingdom of Judah, while E was from the Northern Kingdom of Israel.
Whenever the name of God appeared in its true Hebrew form "YHWH," these four letters were preceded by a substitute word "Adonai," to warn the reader that the following word should not be pronounced. The Jews took meticulous care in repeating this exercise six thousand, eight hundred and twenty three times - interpolating the words "Adonai" or "Elohim." They sincerely believed that this awesome name of God should never be pronounced. This prohibition was no ordinary affair: it called for a death penalty on one who dares to utter it, and this restriction has been more powerful than all the "Do’s" and "Don’ts" of the Ten Commandments put together.
The English Bible refers to YHWH as "Lord God", and to Elohim as "God"
Genesis 1:26 "And God said, Let us make man in our own image"
Genesis 2.7 "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground"
The word "Jehovah" did not exist prior to the sixteenth century. If Jehovah is the name of God, and if the twenty seven Books of the New Testament were inspired by Him, then it is extremely strange that He (Jehovah) did not have His own name recorded in "His Own Words." The Geek version of the New Testament does not have the name "Jehovah" written in it. Curiously this name of God has been replaced by the Greek words Kyrios and Theos, which mean Lord and God.
Hallelujah means Praise God in both secular and religious sense. The Jewish interpretation means Praise Jah (abbreviation of "Yahweh"). It is also used in Revelation 19:1 as Alleluia. It is possible that Hallelujah consists of both Hall (praise) and elujah (El or Eloh or Allah). If Hallelujah means praise Allah, then in this case, no one has been able to eliminate the name "ALLAH" from the originals of the Bible. Consider this divine intervention!
HuwAllah Hu LaThee Laaillaha Ilallah...
HE, Allah - The one Almighty. He alone is worthy of worship.
The exact sound of the four letters YHWH is known to neither the Jews nor the Gentiles, (Gentile is anyone who is not Jewish!). The European Christians replaced the letter Y with J as follows:
Yehuda changed to Judah, Yusuf changed to Joseph, Yunus changed to Jonah, Yeheshua changed to Joshua, Yehowa changed to Jehovah, Yehudi changed to Jewish, YHWH changed to JHVH
YHWH became Yahweh and JHVH became Jehovah! Jehovah Witnesses say that the Letters YHWH occur in the Hebrew Scriptures 6823 times, and it occurs with combination with the word "Elohim" 156 times in Genesis alone. This combination YHWH / ELOHIM has been consistently translated in the English Bible as "Lord God." IN ARABIC
Since the Jews did not articulate the word YHWH for centuries, and since the Chief Rabbis would not allow the unspeakable to be heard, they have forfeited the right to claim dogmatically how the word should sound. We have to seek the aid of the Arabic language to revive Hebrew, a language that had once died out. In every linguistic difficulty, recourse has to be made to the Arabic, a sister language, which has remained alive and viable.
