Does God have a point, where he says "No more forgiveness" I know he's slow to anger but....Does he?

God doesn't give up on us until we give up on Him. Only when we repeatedly turn our backs on Him and stubbornly refuse His offer of forgiveness will He finally let us go. The Bible warns, "A man who remains stiff-necked after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed—without remedy" (Proverbs 29:1).
Have you reached that point? No, you haven't; if you had, you wouldn't be writing me or worrying about your salvation. The person who is in the most danger spiritually is the one who doesn't care about his or her spiritual state. Don't let that ever become true of you!
But your question concerns me, nevertheless, because it suggests that you have misunderstood what God expects of you. Does God just want you to behave better? To put it another way, does God promise to reward you with eternal life if you'll just try hard enough? Or does God want something else from you? The answer is "Yes"—God does want something else, and that "something" is for you to give your life to Jesus Christ.
You see, we are separated from God because of our sins, and our greatest need is to be forgiven and cleansed of them. This is why Jesus Christ came into the world. All your sins were placed on Him, and He died for you. Now God offers you salvation as a free gift—a gift Christ paid for with His blood. Repent of your sins and ask Christ to come into your life today.

God's Limit I think is about $1,000,000 for any single transaction and available credit limit of $10,000,000
Seriously, it is a good question because if you believe the old testament then he is said to be a God of forgiveness but seems pretty vengeful in his actions. That leveling of Sodom and Gomorrah (Spelling?) and the destruction of the world except for the Ark stand out as particular cruel

Jesus is coming as soon s possible and maybe now.
The minute that He comes, He'll take all believers with Him and leave sinners.
So when He takes belivers, the sinners on earth will have no forgiveness forever.
Instead they'll suffer and pass in a big and huge bad situation then go to spend their life time in hell.
So you have to be prepared to be one of the believers.

No, He is always forgiving. In the book of Isaiah He lets us know that though we can commit sins to the point He is so angry, He will always love us. He tells us this. He may become angry with us, and He may provide a way for us to learn our lessons, but He does it out of love...and He will always forgive us if we ask for His forgiveness through His Son Jesus Christ.

Yes, God has a limit... & ~she~ is getting pretty pissed at ~all~ of the fundamentalist branches (Christians, Muslum, Hindu, what-ever) and American's who take way more than their fare share, waste her gifts/resources, pollute the Earth, and who think they are better than people in an other country or religion.

God will call on us; ask us to draw near to Him. But, He will give us up to our own devices. This way, we are left with nothing and it's our choice to draw near to Him. Don't have a stubborn/rebellious heart. No, He does not have a limit on forgiveness though...if you truly seek it, you will find it. What a merciful God!
Ps 81 -
11 "But my people would not listen to me;
Israel would not submit to me.
12 So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts
to follow their own devices.
However, Jesus does say this about one unforgivable sin-
Matthew 12:32 - "Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come."
"speaks against the holy spirit" -- the deliberate refusal to EVER acknowledge God's power in Christ.

I think he does. In the bible in Genesis, God destroyed the cities Sodom and Gomora because of their wickedness. He also flodded the earth because of it's wickedness and only saved Noah and his family. God said that he was tired of all the wickedness in the earth...so i guess he does have a limit.

amal, what happened to Sodom (which is now the Dead Sea)? I agree. The Adversary is the one who usually accuses now. I think things have changed since about 35 A.D.
We cannot assume to know the Mind of God.
