: There really is no question. Bartleby went to Hell.
: Would God forgive him just becausehe cried on her shoulder and said he was sorry? Doubtful.
We ALL sin. EVERYONE.
And Jesus said ALL sins are equal in the eyes of God. (the original Greek text makes specific use of the words ALL and EQUAL...so there can be no confusion that he meant 'some' or 'sort of equal')
All we have to do to be forgiven by God...is ask. Jesus's death made it easy for all of us to be forgiven.(mass murderer or not).
So by saying "I'm sorry"...and meaning it...God would allow ANYONE into heaven.
