There are those who feel that they have done so much wrong that God could never forgive them

That is not true because Isaiah 1:18 says: "Come now and let us set matters straight between us, says God. "Though your sins are scarlet, they will be made white as snow, though they are red as crimson cloth, they will become like wool." Isaiah 55:7---"Let the wicked man leave his way and the evil man his thoughts, let him return to God, who will have mercy on him to our God, for He, God will forgive in a large way". jw.org

I thnk one issue that can affect people is that they relate to God like their own human Father. It can take time and ministry for people to understand that God doesn't see them in the same way. It is wonderful when someone realises they really are forgiven. These people often make the best preachers and evangelists as they know how far they went and what they have been saved from.

What a beautiful insightful answer. I agree. When people have been through and have survived the tsunami's and hurricanes of life, they come out of their ordeals much stronger if they view those trials the right way and not become embittered against God. Their experience is invaluable to them and others who know about their harsh problems and ordeals.

Now, something has been cleared about your discussions, in many ways. Thanks for that reference at the bottom of your post. I agree that there are many people like that, but God, in His manifold wisdom, sets the time, the place and the circumstance for people to come to knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. A classic example is Apostle Paul who was a murderer, but God saved him and ordained him to become the preacher of the gospel to the Gentiles. It's God's way for the Gentiles to have a chance of an eternal life that was originally offered only to he Jews.
