Thank you for asking this question, I think many people are also wondering the answer to the question.
From what I've learned, God does forgive. If He doesn't, everybody would be beyond redemption! Remember, no matter how sinless you seem (your are a role model, non-murderer etc.), you still have a sin, which you had the moment you were born. Adam and Eve's sins were passed on to all humans, every generation, no matter what. Although I've forgotten the scriptural reference for this in the Bible, I'm dead sure, for that's what I've been taught by my Mom, the Daily Bread magazine, and the Pastor in the Baptist Church I attend.
Anyway, just ask for forgiveness with full sincerity and try not to commit that sin again. God forgives and forgets. Don't care about what others say. Hallelujah for you. Oh, and also ask for redemption everyday sincerely and truthfully. You never know when our Maker decides it's time for us to go back and be Raptured.
Hallelujah!
And to the first answerer: You are a definite Anti-Christ, seeing how much you've researched. Those are Anti-Christ Satanic websites, I can tell from the URLs alone. Damn you (God forgive me). Please mend your ways and I believe that God will accept your plea for forgiveness.

I asked that question to a preacher's wife once. She said all sin is intentional. I have committed intentional sin before and I am now sorry and I believe I have been forgiven. Remember we cannot on our own stop sinning. We need God's help and forgiveness and He provides it. Ask God to take away the desire to commit a particular sin. If it doesn't happen right away, keep asking until the desire goes away. It will in time.
Sending you a smile to help pick up your day.

Yes he can , but he also have to pay the church a small sum to make god happy (that was accepted process of the catholics not long ago).
that probably means that poor men could not afford to sin, while rich men could afford to sin repeatedly, unless they went bankrupt.

Yes, GOd will forgive him.
He has to repent though, and make amends if he is sincere.
(intentionally is the correct spelling)

In chrsitianity they require blood of sinless..
In Islam if the person sincerely regrets and do not have intention to repeat the same again, repentance will be accepted.

yes, if the sin was a sin againt G-d. if it was a sin against other people, you have to seek the person who you wronged's forgiveness before going to G-d.

Yes but you must be truly repentant and strive not to do those things again. I guess you could say it depends on your heart.

No.
Never mind how hard you pray, there are no gods to forgive you.
Nobody has ever provided any evidence that any gods, much less a specific god, exist. People believe in specific gods because of indoctrination from an early age, tradition, hallucinations, fear of torture (for gods sadistic enough to threaten it) and other similarly illogical reasons. But no gods exist in reality; these are all stories, created for people who were scared of the world long before we understood it. Now we have no more reason for these superstitions.

Yes, if the man is sincere.

That's why religious morality is such an oxymoron.
With faith anything goes.
