yteI have wondered for years about someone repenting moments before death and whether or not they would still pay for their crimes.
I mean God said vengence is mine but others say trust in Jesus and all will be forgiven.

I believe that you would be forgiven of your sins. As long as you actually believe that Jesus died for you and that you're not just repenting because you think it will get you a free ticket outta hell.

When someone is repenting for a sin, seek God's Forgiveness, then it is between God & him. No one can interfere in this.
But for the sins (harmful acts) he has committed to other human beings God will forgive only if the harmed person forgives him for the mistake. Someone else can bear our sins in not logical. Then everyone will do sins and ask someone to bear the burden for him. In the Day of Judgement only Truth & Justice will prevail. Even if a thorn has pricked someone's foot, he will be rewarded for the pain he sufferred due to that. If someone has done a small good deed like feeding a hungry dog, then he will see the reward for this action in the next world. This sounds logical.

That's contradiction. According to Christians vengeance will only be if one doesn't believe in Jesus. The Christians teachings seem to suggest that once you have accepted Jesus as your saviour, then all will be forgiven. It therefore means that, yes, I can repent just when I am seconds away from death and all my sins will be washed away.
This is the christian teaching. I am no Christian, though. So, I don't believe it.

Do you remember the part in the bible about the thief who hung on the cross next to Jesus? Remember how the other thief was taunting Jesus and the first thief basically told the other guy to shut up because Jesus was Christ and he was on the cross not because of something bad he had done but because of him being our savior? Well Jesus told the "nice" thief that he would see him in heaven.
This is how it went
Luke Chapter 23:
41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. (this is from the believing thief "the nice one")
42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. (also from the believer)
43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
See, he trusted Christ just before his own death and Jesus forgave him and told him that he would be in paradise (heaven) with him.

I think Jesus is the new
so its what he says counts most
& its all in the new testament
i think
you can be forgiven if you truly mean it but not just for the sake of it

God will forgive a repentant heart.

well although possible there is only one last minute save we know of
that was the theif on the cross, he repented(honestly) at the last
minute and was saved....we have no record of anyone else doing
that...
so although there maybe some it would be rare...

Somebody probably reported you. Either that or Yahoo Answers is extremely religious intolerant.
