Most of my questions are not really my real story but this one is really a question for me.

Here's what the Apostle Paul under the guidance of God's Holy Spirit wrote you every person ever born including yourself about this subject.
1 Timothy 1:12 I thank him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, appointing me to his service, 13 though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, 14 and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 15 The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. 16 But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life.
Paul went around doing terrible things but he said that he was shown mercy so that everyone who came after him would have an example of hope to look to so that no matter what sins they had committed they could trust that God would forgive them if they put their trust in Jesus and his sacrifice for them.

Lu 18:10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
Lu 18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
Lu 18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
Lu 18:13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
Lu 18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Lu 15:7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

God forgives all. Everyone is a sinner from the time they were born. Ask Jesus into you your heart and mean it! Turn from your sin and start on your walk with him! If you need any help or have questions, send me a message. I will do all I can to help you! God bless!

Sin is what we call doing something which deviates from the way of God or our journey on that path. If one loves God one feels an affinity with him - he is in you and you are in him - and you will know what are good things to do and what are not. We are not perfect and often do things which are not beneficial to ourselves or others and do not help to bring God into our lives. If you see that you have done or thought something like this, it is only necessary to be truly sorry - and how could you help being sorry, if you love him? - and he will not only forgive you but welcome you back and, quite often, will make it so that what you did has some good outcome.
Sin is a deviation from the path, forgiveness is what happens when you are welcomed back with love.

Yes God forgives everyone. He sent His Son for the whole world and not only for one group of people.
""For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)

God's forgiveness is extended to whosoever will call upon His name. Jesus says, "That whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life." The Apostle John agrees when he wrote his letter, "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us."
Paul tells us that "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God..." So, take comfort. No one comes to Christ (or back to Him) with clean hands. It is through confession (agreeing with God that you sinned) and then repentance (turning away from the sins you've indulged in) and trusting in His finished work on the cross. It is so simple. But it cost Him everything.

Those who think they are too sinful for God to accept them don’t understand how merciful God is. The Bible says that He is "rich in mercy" (Ephesians 2:4). The Scriptures also tell us that "the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to ever-lasting upon them that fear him" (Psalm 103:17). God was merciful to King David and forgave him when he committed adultery and murder. He forgave Moses when he committed murder. He also forgave Saul of Tarsus for murdering Christians (Acts 22:4).
God promises to save "all" who call upon the name of Jesus (Romans 10:13). Those who think this promise isn’t worth the paper it’s written on are calling God a liar (see 1 John 5:10). Jesus shed His precious blood to pay for their sins. Wasn’t it good enough for them? It was good enough for God. God commands them to repent. To offer any excuse is to remain in rebellion to His command—no matter how "noble" it may seem to say that they are too sinful.
