God gives second chances. You have to be genuinely sorry and ask Jesus into your heart (from a Christian stand pont obviously). You cannot sin enough for God not to love you.
God says that the sin is gone the very minute you confess, so anything is forgivable.
....and about suicide! I don't believe that God punishes those that are mentally ill. Usually when someone commits suicide, they do not know what they are doing. Especially if said person was a very strong christian and had a personal relationship with God prior to getting sick. ( My mom died in 1999 from a self inflicted wound). She was the most faithful person I have ever known when she was healthy. When she was in a sever depression, she didn't ever think about God.
Thank goodness he forgives!!!

It's my personal belief that God will forgive murders who have repented. Most all Born Again Christian groups believe that Murder is forgivable if the person recieves Jesus into their hearts. Even Jehovah's Witnesses believe God forgives murder, I think. However, the Mormons believe that there is no forgiveness for a murderer and they state it several times in their book. They believe that murderers go to the lowest level of Heaven, the Telestial Kingdom. But not actual Hell. Hell is only for those who turned against the church. I find the Mormon's view on Murder to offensive since I've been to prison and have met alot of really sweet people who just happened to have killed someone. Most of which were very mentally ill when they did it or were under extream conditions such as abuse. I don't think a merciful God would not have compassion on someone who went through something so devestating that it prompted them to kill. Moses and Pual and King David all killed people. But the Mormons are ignorant of that. I don't see why what someone did before they came to believe in the Gospel matters to God. But the Mormons like to hold sins against people that they commited before they believed. Mormons refuse to baptise live people on parole, while they baptise millions of dead people. I'm confuessed when they say that "God doesn't forgive murder", followed by "Only God can judge." It's an oxymoron. I believe that God forgives murder. And most born again Christians can show you a scripture in the Bible that says that God sees all sins on the same level. I don't think that God puts people into boxes according to their sins. Every motive, situation and level of repentence is different.

That is a good question. I believe that God can forgive any sin, as long as we ask in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ. But committing a crime, knowing that God will forgive it will earn a one way ticket to Hell. I do believe God knows the difference between being sorry for what you did and deception.

If they murder someone and then afterward they decide that they need to change their lifestyle and ask God for forgiveness and accept Him into their hearts, then they will go to Heaven.

alot of murders have turned they're life over to god, and are very good christians
god said in the bible that the one who turns his life from evil to good, will be a blessed, and loved person alot more(loved by god) because of that choice
thats why jesus died for us and god will forgive sins
and lots of murderers went to heaven(bible)
so, yes gods love endures forever and he loved the world so much that he gave his only son so that whoever believes in him (all are sinful and murderers fall right in this category)shall not parish, but shall have eternal life
pray for you an god help you and bless you in everything you do amen.

Yes they can go to Hell, but asking God's forgiveness and repenting of their sin they can be forgiven. God forgives all sin when repented, because we are all sinners. No one is above the law except He that died to fulfill it.

taking someones life is very sinful, but no sin is greater than any other, and god will forgive for our sins... so i believe that even murderers have a chance to get the ticket into heaven...

to respond to your questions rapidly - definite you would be forgiven as long as you're particularly sorry and say sorry! In Catholicism you would be forgiven for all and each sin while you're particularly sorry and repent the only sin that's no longer forgiven is Blasphemy against the holy spirit - what the heck does that recommend? by way of fact the Church defines it - while you're to reject God and walk faraway from him thoroughly and by no ability come decrease back - by no ability repent you will then fall under "Blaspheming the holy spirit"

God will forgive you if you ask. Yes He will. Moses, and David both were murderers.
