The Only ones who never are forgiven are those who blasphemy against the Holy Ghost such as Satan aka Lucifer.

Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, which is willfully denying Christ after having received a perfect knowledge of him from the Holy Ghost, is the unforgivable sin (Matt. 12: 31-32; Mark 3: 28-29; D&C 132: 27).

It makes one wonder what really happen to Judas after he realized what he had done??

Resty, you are correct from a Biblical point of view, but not a Mormon point of view. (You and Mormon "Scripture" contradict).

(BTW...this reminds me...why is it that I'll see FR Christians of different denominations speak the truth to one another when they see another Christian holding a "less-than-Biblical" interpretation of something -- but I can't ever remember a Mormon correcting another Mormon when that Mormon is holding a "less-than-standard works" interpretation of something? Why is it that Restornu made this true Biblical/false Mormon statement -- false from a Mormon point of view -- over 48 hours ago...and no FR Mormon has corrected her? Why does it take a Christian to correct a Mormon on what Mormons believe? Could it be that a pursuit of truth -- even when it's false -- isn't worth elevating in the Mormon church?)

Let's look at one Mormon "Scripture" -- and three Mormon "prophets" on this:

"And now, behold, I speak unto the church. Thou shalt not kill; and he that kills SHALL NOT not have forgiveness in this world, nor in the world to come." (Doctrines & Covenants 42:18).

"...a sin for which there is "no forgiveness" (D&C 42:79), meaning that a murderer can never gain salvation....He cannot join the Church by baptism; he is outside the pale of redeeming grace." (Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, p.520).

LDS have released recent publishings of older "prophets" -- including Brigham Young, who taught that it is "nonsense" to think that someone could repent of "murderous acts." (Brigham Young, Teachings of the Presidents of the Church, page 62)

[There ya have it, Resty...Brigham would have labeled your statement non-sensical]

And then there was the "prophet" Spencer W. Kimball: Perhaps the reason murder is an unforgivable sin is that, once having taken a life whether that life be innocent or reprobate - the life-taker cannot restore it... Those who lose their possessions may be able to recover their wealth. Those defamed may still be able to prove themselves above reproach. Even the loss of chastity leaves the soul in mortality with opportunity to recover and repent and to make amends to some degree. But to take a life...cuts off the victim’s experiences of mortality and thus his opportunity to repent, to keep God’s commandments in this earth life.” (LDS Church News, Feb. 26, 1994, Restitution Part of Repentance).
