Why not?
this is a serious question. I would state that THIS (the absolute ability and willingness of God to forgive) is THE central tenet of christianity (for catholics at least)

I agree 100%, that is why I showed him that what he was taught as a child still holds true. I have always been taught and learned that the only unforgiveable sin is to kill yourself. When you kill yourself, you have sinned against GOD and the new church, and you CANT repent. Just like you have stated, and I agree. There have been many Christians who have turned their back on Christ with their words and actions. But, as soon as they commit to Christ, and baptized they are accepted. Reference: 2 Corinthians 5:17
