I read a book called "Beyond the Darkness" where a woman commits suicide and gets to experience hell. Long story short, she recognizes a person there, in the fetal position, and a robe, and guesses that nobody would feel as much grief as Judas (the dude that betrayed Jesus), but that simple recognition was an act of "believing on the lord Jesus Christ" and therefore being able to be saved. She was.
Now, Judas would also recognize Jesus as the son of God, yes? Hence the immense guilt. But he wasn't pulled out of hell...
If God is all forgiving (which has been repeatedly suggested), then maybe the spark of God that you hold in you is actually enough to condemn yourself...
Sorry if that isn't what you were looking for...
Live well.

Who Really Rules the World? Think about this. Satan tempted Jesus by offering him "all the kingdoms of the world." Yet, would Satan's offer have been a real temptation if Satan was not actually the ruler of these kingdoms? No, it would not.
Significantly, nowhere does the Bible say that either Jesus Christ or his Father are the real rulers of this world. On the contrary, Jesus said: "The ruler of this world will be cast out."
GOD rather you have faith in him and not serve him. it is up to your own Free Will to know Right from Wrong. The second book in the old testament says religion itself is a sin.
The second coming is backwards. Only the innocent die and everyday there is hope, because without Hope there is no future. No signs or miracles. It is up to You to have FAITH! Satan is your savior (Temptation), Passes JUDGMENT onto God. So deceptive he will sometimes turn back to his original origin “An Angel of Light”.
Fear GOD... WHY?
Because when God showed signs & miracles, ”The Left Behind” created Religion. They said if you don’t go to church and pay us MONEY (the root of all evil) that you will go to Hell. The church out of greed made its people go out and recruit new members for their religion and insist there religion is the right one. RELIGION has caused most Wars, Hatred, and Deaths!
HELL is Actually in Heaven - The Wall of Hell In Heaven: Hell is much worse then ever imagined. Your stuck in a wall of tar with others for eternity looking at the glory's of Heaven (a Better Place).
Have FAITH & Play DOOM666: What level of HELL can you reach?
For some it's like a knife stuck in there throat, everything is blurry, cold as fire, always thirsty!
If everything is Good, how do you know Right from Wrong? You can only judge what good is from evil.

Because He is NOT all forgiving. I don't know where you heard that but it isn't a Biblical teaching. Instead the Bible says:
Hebrews 10:26 For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, (27) but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. (28) Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. (29) How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has spurned the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace? (30) For we know him who said, "Vengeance is mine; I will repay." And again, "The Lord will judge his people." (31) It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

As a Catholic, you should be familiar with the "Öur Father Prayer" . Everyday we pray, forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. The question is - Have we all forgive one another as He forgives us? For those who have not, how then can we expect God to forgive us
& not judge us & cast into eternal Hell when we do not do what He teaches us to?

One little note on forgiveness: If you don't stop doing what you were doing that needs forgiveness, if you don't somehow come to understand that what you were doing was sinning or missing the mark and stop it then how can you be forgiven. It takes some effort on your part. Today it is important for you to find out what the truth is no matter what it may turn out to be. How will you do that?

No one ever said God is all forgiving.
If that's what you think, you have been deceived.
The penalty for sin has always been death. And if that issue isn't remedied by the end of one's physical existence on earth, then it becomes permanent and eternal. Hell is the logical and inevitable result.
Faith in Jesus Christ and his church, coupled with baptism and true repentance, is the only remedy for sin.

humans have made god in there image...and made God at a time where people needed a way to justify things but still be able to make bad decisions like the killing,raping (crusades) and unwavering order (kings servants )and yet have clean conscious..Id say the forgiveness thing is just a coping mechanism for people.

You have to picture god as a thug....the type of thug who runs a "protection racket", 'cause that's all christianity or islam are...protection rackets.
See, god tells you "hey, you can do whatever you want, but if you don't do it my way, I will torture you forever"...it helps to picture him as a thug saying this to some poor skinny little frightened guy.
So, you've got a choice...do what you want and pay for it with eternal torture, or just shut up and do as the thug tells you to do.
You know, if this were a scene on the street in Brooklyn, god would (and should) be arrested.

You will not find a verse in the Bible that tells you God is all forgiving.<><
Jesus is all forgiving ,but he must be your savior.
When you stand before God ,you will be judged by God.Jesus will look in the book for your name.Is it there?
Then if not ,you will not enter into Heaven.
If your name is in the Book of Life,you will enter in.
Don't think that God will be mocked.
God loves you ,but he love Jesus his son most.
The son who became the final sacrifice.
Jesus is your only salvation.<><

God casts no one into Hell.. We do it our selves.. At judgement when we have a understanding of the seriousness of our sin we will go to were we know we belong.
