Answer 1

I am sure it must have been tough having people who claimed to be religious, doing all these things to you. Well, about forgiveness - only those who repent with a complete heart can gain forgiveness. There is a beautiful scripture where Jesus explains this. It is Matthew 7:21 which reads like this: “Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew YOU! Get away from me, YOU workers of lawlessness."

So even many so-called very religious christians, may not be true. They may even perform miraculous works. But not all works are approved, if they are not done with the proper heart-condition.

As far as a person's past goes - the scriptures also say in Romans 14:12: "So, then, each of us will render an account for himself to God." And again this is what Galatians 6:7-9 says: Do not be misled: God is not one to be mocked. For whatever a man is sowing, this he will also reap; because he who is sowing with a view to his flesh will reap corruption from his flesh, but he who is sowing with a view to the spirit will reap everlasting life from the spirit. So let us not give up in doing what is fine, for in due season we shall reap if we do not tire out."

So take courage!!! Those who pretend to repent in their old age will still have to render an accounting. People can dodge other people, but GOD IS NOT ONE TO BE MOCKED.

Answer 2

Simply asking Christ to forgive you means nothing. Christ knows exactly what has been in your heart and mind during all the years of sinning and what is in your heart and mind while you repent. Plus He knows your future and knows if you will sin again. To repent is not only to be sorry for your sins and asking for forgiveness that one time, but also means not committing that/those sins again. If you start to attend mass, stop doing magic, stop lying in court but you still say "white lies" and gossip about your neighbor, you are still sinning and Christ knows that you weren't truly sorry and wanted to change your ways. There are times when someone will ask for forgiveness and Christ doesn't forgive until you make a full change and stay that way. Forgiveness isn't a one day thing. It's for life.

P.S. earning lots of money isn't a sin unless you steal it or take what you don't earn.

Answer 3

The only unforgivable sin is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit!!!
This is a very difficult sin to commit. One must give satan glory for the things that the Holy Spirit is doing and I have already heard a person who swears the name of the Holy Spirit, usually folks swear God's name or Jesus and or Christ's name.
Yes you can murder babies blow up homes go around and torture folks, You can then go and lie through your eye teeth and swear in any place you like that you are saying the truth,after this you can go rampant and Rape and Steal, even commit fraud. Then one day at one or other point The Lord Speaks In A Gentle Loving Voice and You can runto the highest mountain or go to the depths of the sea - He will still be there - But Oh Boy when this sinner comes to know Jesus and truely repents of his/her evil was she/he is washed of all that sin in the eyes of God - is this not amazing just how much Love God has for us???

Answer 4

It all depends if it's a true turnaround change. If the person is just saying that to "secure" a place in Heaven, then no, God will not forgive them. You can't "secure" a spot in Heaven anyways. God has His own chosen people that Christ died for, and only those will go to Heaven. God Loves, and God Hates (Jacob have I loved, Esau have I hated). The way you know If you are one of the Elect is if you despise all sin (yours, your friends, your family's, etc) and you feel absolutely miserable with yourself when you do commit a sin.

Answer 5

If a person willingly think to ask forgiveness in the older age after living in a sin full way, even if he ask for pardon and accept Jesus Christ as his personal savior and Lord, God knows his thought and his purpose of asking apology.
Even I can understand that he is not having repentance but for some sake he is asking forgiveness.
Definitely he can never do it with a penitent mind and can stick to his pledge.
God will never accept his prayer.

Ishmael and Issac both were born to Abraham.
But Issac was the one born as per God's plan.
Ishmael was born as per the plan of man.

Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

John 1:12 & 13
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Answer 6

Even after all of the sins that this man committed, if he prays and asks God's forgiveness and accepts Christ into his heart, he will be saved.

Answer 7

Well in the early centuries of the Christian church that is exactly what a lot of people did. They lived hedonistic lives and hoped that before they died that they could be baptized on their death bed.

So yes, if it is a genuine turning to God, or to Christ, they will be forgiven. "The last shall be first". God's love is so great that he would forgive Hitler if Hitler asked him too and meant it.

Answer 8

If you seek forgiveness but still seek the path of sins over and again, God will know and will get fed up. And soon God will put you in His list of the children he dun like!

Answer 9

that person hasn't found Jesus yet, but God can forgive any sin.

to say that god can not forgive a sin, is like saying, that sin is more powerful than God.

If you know better (know God)and keep sinning, that is a sin.
God says that it is better that a man not know God, then to know God and keep sinning.

He can not help someone who refuses help.
