>>11033330My opinion on this matter is yes. Christ will forgive you because he understands human nature.
The most important thing is you can't lawyer God. I strongly believe even an atheist who tries to be good will see God on judgement day and realize he was wrong and ask for forgiveness. And God will understand that the athiest wasn't an athiest due to some ego or some hatred against good, but just genuinely ignorant.
Sure most Christians will call me a heretic for this and idc. I felt the Holy Spirit and I am undeniably a worshipper and believer of Christ. Remember Christ the reee kike on a stick reee, was murdered by Jews because he threatened their power structure and proved to the world how they were wrong.
This is a parable relates to your question. It changed my perspective on things:
The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector
9 To some who were confident of their own righteousness(A) and looked down on everyone else,(B) Jesus told this parable: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray,(C) one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself(D) and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast(E) twice a week and give a tenth(F) of all I get.’
13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast(G) and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’(H)
14 “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”(I)
