Your own implied judgment is called, Anthropomorphism. Putting a human mind to God. Murder is a sin as is lying or adultery. Man has made some sins greater than others.
God has not. Sin is sin is sin. The wages of sin is death.

When one is washed by the blood of the Christ he/she is a new creature who's sins are in a sea of forgetfulness.

There is only one sin that there is no forgiveness, blaspheming the holy spirit. I will not explain what that means because there are one or two that would be foolish enough to do it. I do not want that on me.

If one has murdered and come into a knowledge of the Christ on a personal level, his sins will be forgiven and heaven is in reach.

Yes they can be forgiven, but there is more to it than just saying "Oh well I'm forgiven". We can't just go around doing whatever we want. The Christian knows and loves Jesus. We feel true sorrow that our actions caused the pain , suffering and death of our savior. When we sin it is not causing this pain to a far away anonymous person that we don't know. Not that that would make it okay, but it might make something we would try to hide from. With sin, any sin, we are causing this suffering to our best friend, our brother and to our father. So we must repent of this. We must turn away from our sins and beg forgiveness, knowing that we don't deserve to be forgiven. Still he shows his grace. It is not the Christian who is deserving of praise. It is God who deserves more praise than we can possibly give.

Yes.

From a superficial viewpoint, Christianity sometimes seems like an easy religion. No matter what you did in your life, all you have to do is accept Jesus as your saviour and you will go to heaven.

But to accept means more than just saying the words. It means truly loving Jesus, accepting him as your saviour and surrendering your own sinful ego and nature. This is impossible for someone who is evil. Someone who has committed many murders could never truly love Jesus Christ.

If they repent, and live the new life of Christ yes they can be cleansed, and go to Heaven. At the Last Day, those who have tortured will be confronted with The One who has been a victim of torture.

A person can be forgiven of any sin even murder, many murders find Christ and are forgiven in heaven, that does not mean on earth they do not and should not be punished,

Saul who became Paul, killed 100's of Christians before his conversion.

If they ask forgiveness with an honest heart, yes. They can be saved by confession of sins, believing in their heart that Jesus is Lord and that God raised Him from the dead. My human heart screams, "that's just not FAIR" but we never see as God sees. Thankfully.

There is only one unforgivable sin and that is blasphemy againt the holy spirit. Saul who became Paul was one who was in favor of the stoning of Christians before he was called as an apostle.

Yes, they will still go to heaven if they are truly remorseful and repent before the Lord. Then God will forgive them.

I believe that you can be forgiven for anything, no matter how "bad" of a sin it is. Because lying, adultery, stealing, etc. are sins and I've been taught that one sin is not too bad or extreme to be forgiven. That's why God's love is so amazing.
