This story was one the news. A man killed all four of his children, injured his wife, then killed himself. The reason he injured his wife and didn't kill her was cause he wanted her to remember this and suffer for the rest of her life and be in pain.
If this trash apologized to God for what he did, would God still let him go to heaven?

as terrible as it may seem to our human lives on earth, if this man had opened his heart and asked jesus into his life and repented for his sins, then yes, this man would enter into everlasting life in heaven with our God and Father. God is a merciful God and forgives those who seek Him out and truly are sorry for their sins. A man like this probably wasn't a man of faith, and even if he did ask for forgiveness, was it because he was truly sorry or was he just afraid of the consequenses. God looks down on all sins, no matter how big or small. From a small lie to murder, God will punish or forgive on his terms.

If you confess your sins and repent then receive the Lord Jesus Christ with all your heart then God would let you go to heaven. for God so loved the world that He gave His only son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (take not the phrase, whoever believes)john 3:16. A classic example of this is that when Jesus was hanging on the cross together with the 2 hardened criminals, the other one repented and the Lord Jesus christ immediately said unto Him, "On this day we will be togeher on paradise.

Man is not capable of understanding the full glory of God and how or why God would make a particular judgment. That would be like asking a child to understand advanced rocket science. In a way it is a relief because we can put the situation in God's hands to judge.

Is this any worse than what God did when he killed the first born of every family in Egypt?
It seems like a very God-like act to me when looked at this way. Shouldn't those who are godlike go to heaven?

I'd like to be able to say with absolute authority that someone like this would be pulled off the turnpike to heaven and set aside for special attention if you get my drift? But I can't, and I am unable to answer your question regarding this person getting through the pearly gates. Cause I simply don't know what happens to any of us when we die. No one has come back and written the definitive "Tell all about death and redemption". .

Fortunately people do not go to hell for the sins they commit. If that were the case, heaven would be empty. They go to hell for rejecting God. I find it hard to grasp that this man was a real christian if he could do those things. If he took his own life then he couldnot have apologised. The Bible says that as long as there is breath there is hope.

Please do not be so severe with others. It is clearly wrong what he have done and he will have to pay full price for it, be assured. But do you really know all his circumstances and state of his will, etc... Are you really sure that in his circumstances in his pans you will be able to do differently. And not at the last. What you know about creation. Are you 100% sure and from what point that firmness is coming, that he had not just re-payed for the mistreatment of those souls? If so. If he would be able to forgive them he would not be forced to go trough all this massacre.
It is not up to you to judge or to forgive. That is up to Judge and those souls.
See it as wrong but do not judge them.

Gods are imaginary, and of course so are heaven and hell. The man no longer exists, and the fact that we instinctively feel there ought to be some kind of justice 'beyond the grave' in such tragic circumstances won't change that reality one bit.

Apologizing and seeking forgiveness are two different things. If this man were to sincerely seek Gods forgiveness and sincerely regret what he has done then he may be forgiven. But just to apologize with out any sincerity or belief then he is waisting his words.

Hello,
Well that is a hard one, because he intentionally hurt his family and also he didn't repent for his sins so how can he be truly forgiven ? he commited suicide, God gave life and no man has the right to take it away.
If he's dead its to late, because we are judged by what actions we make in earth.
Take care and God bless
