If God forgives intentional murders why wouldn't he forgive accidental?

The only thing God won't forgive is rejecting His Son's work on the cross, blaspheming the Holy Spirit. Confession is good for the soul in that it lifts the burden of guilt off of you but the sin was forgiven long before it was ever committed, by Jesus' death on the cross. We are all guilty of enough to condemn us to hell and could never rectify any of it on our own. That is why salvation had to be given as a free gift from God.

Of course. God will even forgive an intentional murder. Read the story of David and Bathsheba. David had Bathsheba's husband killed so he wouldn't find out that she was having a child by King David. Yet David repented of this sin and God forgave him. God called David, "A man after My own heart", because David always repented of his sins and sought after God.

"Accidental murder" is a contradiction in terms. Accidental implies happenstance; murder is intentional killing. What you are describing is called manslaughter, which is the unintentional taking of human life through unlawful act but without the specific intent to do so.

As long as the persons is sorry for the sin & repents God will forgive everything except denying the Holy Gost once you have received the Holy Ghost.

If you are talking about committing murder to protect yourself or a person who is about to be murdered or worse, then yes. You would have to pray for forgiveness & if you have a true heart then you will be forgiven- atleast by God.

You must remember the full of the truth. In the Christian belief structure God will Forgive all who repent, but what is seldom spoken of, He will still punish the sinner.
I realize it is not written and spoken of very often because it would be negative to proselytizing.

Yes God will forgive if one is truly repentant. Jesus covered that one under the Cross too. You will still have to accept His gift of Salvation and change from your wicked ways and sin no more.

Murdering in anger is the same as murder by calculation. Don't you watch Law and Order?
