Is God all forgiving?

I have good news for you. Jesus said if you are blind to the truth about your sin, you are innocent:\n\nJohn 9 (NIV):\nSpiritual Blindness \n 35Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?" \n 36"Who is he, sir?" the man asked. "Tell me so that I may believe in him." \n\n 37Jesus said, "You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you." \n\n 38Then the man said, "Lord, I believe," and he worshiped him. \n\n 39Jesus said, "For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind." \n\n 40Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say this and asked, "What? Are we blind too?" \n\n 41Jesus said, "If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains.

O my God!  O Thou forgiver of sins, bestower of gifts, dispeller of afflictions!  \n\nVerily, I beseech thee to forgive the sins of such as have abandoned the physical garment and have ascended to the spiritual world.  \n\nO my Lord!  Purify them from trespasses, dispel their sorrows, and change their darkness into light.  Cause them to enter the garden of happiness, cleanse them with the most pure water, and grant them to behold Thy splendors on the loftiest mount. \n\n********************************************************\n\nO Thou forgiving Lord!  Although some souls have spent the days of their lives in ignorance, and became estranged and contumacious, yet, with one wave from the ocean of Thy forgiveness, all those encompassed by sin will be set free.  Whomsoever Thou willest Thou makest a confidant, and whosoever is not the object of Thy choice is accounted a transgressor.  Shouldst Thou deal with us with Thy justice, we are all naught but sinners and deserving to be shut out from Thee, but shouldst Thou uphold mercy, every sinner would be made pure and every stranger a friend.  Bestow, then, Thy forgiveness and pardon, and grant Thy mercy unto all.  \n\nThou art the Forgiver, the Lightgiver and the Omnipotent.\n\n********************************************************\n\nO my God!  O my God!  Verily, thy servant, humble before the majesty of Thy divine supremacy, lowly at the door of Thy oneness, hath believed in Thee and in Thy verses, hath testified to Thy word, hath been enkindled with the fire of Thy love, hath been immersed in the depths of the ocean of Thy knowledge, hath been attracted by Thy breezes, hath relied upon Thee, hath turned his face to Thee, hath offered his supplications to Thee, and hath been assured of Thy pardon and forgiveness. He hath abandoned this mortal life and hath flown to the kingdom of immortality, yearning for the favor of meeting Thee.  \n\nO Lord, glorify his station, shelter him under the pavilion of Thy supreme mercy, cause him to enter Thy glorious paradise, and perpetuate his existence in Thine exalted rose garden, that he may plunge into the sea of light in the world of mysteries.  \n\nVerily, Thou art the Generous, the Powerful, the Forgiver and the Bestower.\n\n********************************************************\n\nHe is God, exalted is He, the Lord of loving-kindness and bounty!  \n\nGlory be unto Thee, Thou, O my God, the Lord Omnipotent.  I testify to Thine Omnipotence and Thy might, Thy sovereignty and Thy loving-kindness, Thy grace and Thy power, the oneness of Thy being and the unity of Thine Essence, Thy sanctity and exaltation above the world of being and all that is therein.  \n\nO my God! Thou seest me detached from all save Thee, holding fast unto Thee and turning unto the ocean of Thy bounty, to the heaven of Thy favor, to the Daystar of Thy grace.  \n\nLord!  I bear witness that in Thy servant Thou hast reposed Thy Trust, and that is the Spirit wherewith Thou hast given life to the world. \n\nI ask of Thee by the splendor of the Orb of Thy Revelation, mercifully to accept from him that which he hath achieved in Thy days.  Grant then that he may be invested with the glory of Thy good-pleasure and adorned with Thine acceptance. \n\nO my Lord!  I myself and all created things bear witness unto Thy might, and I pray Thee not to turn away from Thyself this spirit that hath ascended unto Thee, unto Thy heavenly place, Thine exalted Paradise and Thy retreats of nearness, O Thou who art the Lord of all men! \n\nGrant, then, O my God, that Thy servant may consort with Thy chosen ones, Thy saints and Thy Messengers in heavenly places that the pen cannot tell nor the tongue recount. \n\nO My Lord, the poor one hath verily hastened unto the Kingdom of Thy wealth, the stranger unto his home within Thy precincts, he that is sore athirst to the heavenly river of Thy bounty.  Deprive him not, O Lord, from his share of the banquet of Thy grace and from the favor of Thy bount

Is this what you're getting at?\n\nRomans 5:1-21\n\nTherefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.\nFor when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.\nTherefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned—(For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many. And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification. For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)\nTherefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.\nMoreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

maybe. God uses hardships & struggle to build character to the person you might think has a 'hard life'. if he just hands over everything we want we dont learn anything.

I believe that you can ask for forgiveness when you see god, because the bible promises everlasting life.  Even in hell you live forever so technically you do not die.

No person is greater than God. Nor were you ever promised a rose garden while here on this plane of existance. We are all here to develop our soul so that when we pass from this plane of existance to the next, we will be more prepared. Is it all understandable? At some levels, yes. Is there evil in the world? Absolutely. Did God create everything? Yes. And is everything around us, good and bad, something everyone can comprehend as being part of our learning experience? Unfortunately not. \nBy the way, God does not condemn people. Sexuality, immorality, sin . . . all are forgiven when our physical body dies and our soul moves on. I didn't say it would all seem to make sense. We are loved. We are forgiven. We are given challenges to help us grow. And we are told through the Manifestations of God that we are never alone here.

God has a reason for everything. Human beings cannot comprehend God and the reasons things happen.

Hello, I am confused at the question, but if you are asking if God will forgive you of your past of your unbelief, before you believed, yes. If we come to Him and ask with a sincere heart, He no longer remembers our transgressions... If you are wondering if God will forgive you after you believe, and no longer believe in Him... you will be held accountable, just like every unbeliever. \n\nIt is up to us to seek and search God out, and once we find Him to continue searching, always drawing nearer to God. \n\nIt was good that you had someone that could help you understand, but with that teacher being in a position of power, it is highly unhealthy for the both of you to continue your friendship. If he is looking out for your Christian walk, he should have made it clear for you to find a church, perhaps at his recommendation, and even introduce you to his pastor and elders and leave you in thier capable hands. It is too easy for tender young babes in Christ ( yes, I am am still considered one...) to gain an attachment to ones who hold so much more knowledge about God that we tend to put them on a pedestle or become attached emotionally to them. \nYou have the tools, and God does expect once we are led to Him, to continue the journey with Him. Ask God to lead you further... pray, and seek the members of a church. If you are sencere in your search, God will forgive anything that you ask of Him, provided that you do your best to lay that "sin" down... \nIt is not uncommon for those seeking God, falter, and say " I tried it, it wasn't for me" I urge you not give up searching God until you exauhsted every avenue. It is hard, and some people do not like the journey, it's too hard and long of a road... \nIf there is one person through them, you became a Christian, then there are others out there, to take over, and answer questions he perhaps cannot, you just have to search long and hard. \n\nIf you need to chat, or would like to have any conversations concerning Christianity, please feel free to use my email. \nGod Bless,\nAlways look up, and never give up.

In my religion,{Christian, Baptist} God forgives all if they bow their heads in prayer and ask for forgivness and sincerely mean it that they are sorry for their actions one sin is just as bad as the other.

I believe anything can be forgiven in time.  Even 21 years of abuse from a parent (which I dealt with) was forgiven, albeit because the man died and I had to learn to cope with it all, but I still forgave.  Just remember that forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting.

Yes, this is how it feels. I am right now managing a sore throat and a congested nose. Yet, would all these come to heal without God? No, we are all punished for our actions,thoughts,and words. Are not we all evil in a way? We have all somehow harmed a creature... by stepping on it or eating it. God is not punishing us as bad as the bad. The truly evil are the ones with no love for anything. Those are the ones who are suffering. Even though I am not Christian, did Jesus not suffer? He did it for us. Does God not suffer?... seeing our pain and misery. Yet, throguh this darkness a light shines through. God is beautiful as anything. He is helping us. God sees misery in our hearts and shines light through. Think for a moment...How had God helped you?

Some will call this a contradiction.  It is not.\nJesus says that God forgives all sins, but one (though I believe it is two).  The one Jesus references is to sin against the Holy Spirit, which is God.  I also believe suicide is unforgivable, as you are murdering and cannot ask forgiveness for it.\n\nPeter says that through Christ, you can be forgiven things that Moses' law could not forgive.  Tell me where Moses' law talks about sinning against the Holy Spirit.  It does not.\n\nClear?  You have to read the words...not the footnotes or interpretations.

haha God doesnt punish you for future mistakes.  sometimes He doesnt punish you for mistakes you've already done, if you repent to Him and ask forgiveness.  you have a horrible day because you are only focusing on the bad things that went wrong instead of the good.  you dont know how many times today God has saved your life, or tried to show you something beautiful. at least you didnt get abducted and tied to a tree and beaten.  thats something positive

When God forgives your sins, he erased them, blots them out, forgets them. Do you think he is just going to say, Oh! by the way, just kidding!!! They are erased just as if you erased a chalkboard and remembers them no more.
