This is a subject that came up no another forum, and I'm just curious as to what most people think. On the subject of being able to repent (ie, ask and recieve forgiveness from God).
Example senario: A person broke one of the Commandments-they killed someone. Not in defense, or even for revenge-but simply to see 'what it felt like' or 'for fun'. now let us assume this same person is caught, serves their time, is released, but then is diagnosed with something terminal, and they have all of a year ot live. They turn to religion and wish with sincerity forgiveness from god-but they do so as most people would because they do not want to risk a eternity of suffering. Is the person forgiven and allowed in? Also if you could post a verse along with why you have this belief that is easy to follow for those of us not well versed in Christian faiths, that would be excellent and appreciated. Thanks in advance everyone!
