I really wonder about it.

Does God forgive the worst sinners?

but you MUST ask repentance and do penance.

Repentant heart, yes. Penance, no.

So God is not vengefull , he does not hate or have grudges. He forgives even the most horrific sinners?

IF the horrific sinner is sorrowful for sin, God will forgive.

God does HATE sin in His children, but not the sinning child.

Every person is a magnificent creation of God that has become infected with the malignancy of sin. He wants you to accept the vaccine delivered by the blood of Jesus.

If a person is 'good' but never takes the vaccine, that person is just as doomed as the 'bad' person who defies God to His face...

I have not done anything that bad. However I feel so horrific. Like this lost sole that should be dead. So I really hope God will see the love and kindness I have in me. I hope Jesus can see it as well. But I may go to hell. Because I think I am a pretty horrific person. I help this old lady I know a lot. I volunteer and help in my local community. But I steel feel so horrific. Maybe Jesus will send me to hell. Jesus take the wheel

No, that would be universalism wouldn't it?

I testified to both Jews and Greeks about repentance to God and faith in our Lord Jesus. Acts 20:21

When a man realizes that the one offended by sin is God and only God and repents before Him , and realizes that he can only be saved by Christ's cross.., he is forgiven

Just ask for forgiveness with a contrite heart, and make the effort not to repeat the sin - and we are promised forgiveness.

You may murder, rape, pillage, abuse man, woman and child, torture animals, ect. The ONLY unforgiveable sin is sins against the Holy Ghost.

LUKE 12:10, "And everyone that says a word against the Son of Man, that will be forgiven; But he that blasphemes against The Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
MARK 3:29, "Whoever blasphemes against The Holy Spirit will never have forgiveness, but is guilty of everlasting sin."
MATTHEW 12: 31-32 "Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in the age to come".

"I asked an preacher once what the Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit was. He answered, “If you’re worried about it, then you haven’t committed it.”

True, as far as it went, but not intellectually satisfying. This is.

He's right. If the Holy Ghost made itself manifest to you, such that you knew beyond the shadow of a doubt that you had been visited and been given a message by the Holy Ghost - and you then not only renounce your message, but then deny having ever been in the presense of the Holy Ghost, or that it even exists - you are pretty much screwed.

Jesus’ First Message to the folks in Mark 1:15 was Repent and Believe the Gospel so the answer is yes. Also says God desire all to come to repentance as well.

Everyone needs to be saved from their sin. Even Billy Graham and the Pope. It’s never measured by how good one is; but our sin nature that we are born into requires a Saviour, Jesus. Measured by God’s standard of righteousness, we all deserve hell.

Yes!

1 John 1:9 says,

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."

This forgiveness is found through faith in Jesus as God's one and only son, who lived a perfect life and died a sacrificial death on the cross. Jesus suffered the punishment for our sins, so that those who believe in him are forgiven. Through Christ, sins are forgiven, hearts are changed and new life is given! There is literally nothing else like it.

Acts 4:12 says,

"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."

“For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.” James 2:10

God doesn’t grade sin. Sin is sin, plain and simple.

We are all equal in God’s eyes. He doesn’t see people who tell little white lies any different that murderers. He sees us all the same.

All are forgiven, BUT it has to be received, not receiving is the one unforgivable sin is it not?

When we compare ourselves to other men..we may not look all that bad.. but other men are not Gods standard.. HE is..

Gods word says that all are good works are like menstrual rags before a holy God.. we can do NOTHING pleasing to God in ourselves.. God is only pleases with his work IN us, and he is not in us until we realize that we have broken His laws and he demands payment , as the just judge He is for those offenses, and that penalty is death. The only one that could pay those penalty and release us from the wrath of God is Jesus. The just dying for the unjust ...

God will not be impressed with your works.. you can not bribe God

If men have never seen themselves as God sees them.. filthy ... and begged for His forgiveness ...and trusted that Christ's sacrifice was sufficient before God as their penalty ... there is no hope of salvation

"Acts 26:15“Then I asked, ‘Who are you, Lord?’
“‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,’ the Lord replied. 16‘Now get up and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen of me and what I will show you. 17I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them 18to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

The Gospel message.. Repent and believe ... and be saved

That;s like saying that if your kid does something REALLY bad, they just have to say they are sorry! Do you not punish your kids so they learn?
