Not if they repent before they die...like the man that was crucified next to Jesus

Yes. I think so. I prayed up a storm about a guy that did some horrible stuff to a really righteous guy. It was an unbelievably bad situation and the good guy still testified for the Lord despite the extreme adversity he would suffer. Long story short - the good guy got screwed royally, the bad guy got his room in the house... I prayed and prayed day and night about being a God of justice and pleaded for him not let this dude get away with it. 3 months later I found out the bad guy dropped dead from a Diabetic Coma. Which was so funny since he was such a health nut... I concluded that he must have been worse then I thought. The Lord gave him to Satan. Good riddens.

According to the teachings of the various churches, any one can be saved if they accept the sacrifice of Christ. The only unforgiveable sin is blasphemy against the Holy Ghost. This is not an easy sin to commit. One must have a sure knowledge and then reject it. If a person has not been saved, that person cannot have a sure knowledge to reject. Therefore, they can be saved because no matter how awful the person is by our standards, they could not have committed the only unpardonable sin.

I don't believe that any one is too sinful to be saved. They say that Jeffry Dahmer became a believer while he was in prison. If that is the case, then he is in heaven. Jesus "came to seek and to save that which was lost." A little bit lost is the same thing as a whole lot lost to Jesus. The idea that someone has sinned so much that Jesus won't redeem them is a trick of the Devil to keep people from accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
Look at the story of the man possessed by demons. Jesus cast out the demons and saved them man. I would say that this is proof of the redemptive power of Jesus.

If they continue to let sin control their life, then yes. To be saved, one must leave his sinful focus to strive to follow the Lord instead.
Many are so caught up in sin, they refuse to even listen to the Gospel.
God desires all to repent, but many refuse. (Acts 17:30, 2 Peter 3:9, Matthew 7:13-14)
But, don't count anyone out. After all, Paul was a murderer who tried everything he could to destroy the church before he was saved, then he became a very strong and influential Christian!

The Bible says Whoso ever will.
13. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
14. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
16. I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
17. And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
18. For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
God bless

Nope. If you believe what the bible says, no matter what kind of mistakes people have made in their lives, they are all the same in God's eyes (though some hold greater tangible consequences than others in the physical realm...spiritually, one 'sin' is just as bad as another).
The bible states that Jesus came to die so that ALL WHO BELIEVE in him may have eternal life. It does not say that he came to die so that those who are not tooooo bad can be saved.
According to the bible, the only way one can be "too bad to be saved" is if they choose not to be saved. God gave us a free will choice and we have the right to make whatever choice we want.
On a side and semi-related note, the original latin meaning of sin is to "miss the mark". And the bible says there are NO UNFORGIVABLE sins...only blasphemy of the holy spirit--which is a very fascinating study, actually.....

No offcourse not ,God indeed is very mercifull to any who is willing to learn and want the change in their lives,sacrafiecing the life we know off sin for a better one ,one that is undefiled or robbed off its purity,God has saved killers and even prostitutes ,and those are big sins,like for example Mary Magdalene and others.The key is baptism for that is the reason Jesus Christ sacrificed himself by his Father who is in Heaven ,such a sacrafice because he Loves us so ,baptismal waters cleanse u from all ur sins being renewed .B/4 and after the enemy will temp u or make u doubt yourself putting unworthie thoughts in u wether it leads to even suicide thoughts it gets heavy b4 baptism possibilities and right after the joy off baptism anything to make u fall yet baptism must grow in us its amazing the wisdom and protection it gives and the weight off our shoulders and free with no fighting the evils within anymore,I highly recommend the Mormon Church the fully restored word ,founded scriptures that had to been hidden for many years to survive the evil that was once so great and even if it was a white man that found it better he than a colored man that would'nt off survived it in those times not racist just smart it is waht it is ,and a thief would off melted the Golden scriptures instead study it the Book off Mormon its too true to not believe in it u would see why the truth was hidden too honest and real,many did'nt want to follow such ways so instead the truth was forbidden,may u be blessed in ur path to find salvation God blessed u amen.

Your question is difficult to answer because it has two ways to be interpreted.
1. Is God capable of saving anyone regardless of their sin?
2. Is an individual too sinful to be able to accept the grace of God?
The gift of salvation is free to everyone. But much like any other gift that is given one must receive it in order to "have and enjoy" that gift. God has done His part through the messiah's sacrifice on the cross; so the answer to the first part of the question above is YES, God is capable.
Now it's up to mankind to answer the second part, each one of us for ourselves.

Never, God said that if you repeant, then her will forgive you.. He will take them as far s the east is from the west.... It is impossible to even keep a chart of all of your sins... that is why Jesus came down and died for us..... That is why we are saved.. If there was a limitte on how many sins can you commite then it would be our working to have our salvation. but, it is only by grace alone....

Never. As long as you repent of your sins you can be saved. You also need to accept the lord into your life. The only sin that can never be repented for is the killing of another human being and blasphemy against our lord. To know he exists and is there for you and to deny him
