Jesus, as he was stripped naked, whipped, ridiculed, abandoned, and declared “less fit to live an an animal”, and as he had metal nails driven through his hands and feet and hoisted on probably the cruelest mechanism of execution ever devised by the twisted minds of men shouted out one thing about any and every person that got him here: “Father, forgive them!”

Jesus demonstrates his (and the Father’s) love on that cross. That even if you were to do the most despicable thing you can imagine to someone that even as you were LAUGHING about doing it, he still cries out for your forgiveness out of love. You don’t get more personally offensive that actually executing Christ, and yet he screams out for forgiveness of those people.

Jesus is love. He is pure and total love, and love forgives. Love always hopes, love always trusts.
 
God IS love. To not love would be contrary to His very nature.

Scripture use the term “hate” when speaking of God, but, that word does not mean the same thing as we mean today.

For instance, Scripture says “Jacob have I loved, Esau have I hated”. This would more precisely be said “Jacob have I loved, Esau have I loved less”
 
but the ones who crucified him didn’t know who he was, the savior of the world. If one knew this, yet still offended him could they be forgiven?
 
Actually it’s suggested that the Jewish leaders knew exactly who he was, but didn’t want to lose their power so they, in full knowledge of who he was, demanded the cross for him.

And still he said “Father forgive them” not “Father, forgive everyone except Ciaphas”.

Then there’s Peter. Peter KNEW who he was, this was directly stated in the gospels “Peter, who do you say that I am?”

And he denied him, personally, to save his own tushie. Jesus forgave him and handed him the leadership of his church!

There is no sin that cannot be forgiven, with one exception and that’s a whole thread in itself (blasphemy of the spirit. Basically one who does this would never seek repentance anyway). Jesus even says this in Matthew 12:31:

“Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven…”

Yes. Guilt and shame are not of God. Conviction to repentance is, but shame and guilt are not of God.
 
so there is absolutely, not one sin I could commit that God wouldn’t forgive
 
So long as you are truly repentant, yes. Again, except blasphemy of the Spirit. But that is, again, not something one who did it would ever repent from.
 
As long as a person repents, they can be forgiven. God’s mercy for us who are alive has no limits.
 
It is a sort of spiritual pride, a lie Satan whispers in our ear “your sin was so super terrible bad that God will not forgive it”. Do not listen to Satan. Go to confession and accept God’s infinite mercy.

I doubt it, but for the benefit of the doubt I will assume so. He is still willing to forgive you if you let him. He would die on the Cross again just for you.
