Acctually, you can't go about saying you love God and then killing and such. That's like saying you'll play football and never EVER turning up to any practices or even game, yet still claiming to be in the football team.
What I meant was, Jesus forgave the guy of all his sins because he willfully was sorry and knew that if he wasn't about to die he would start his life from scratch, living a good life. Jesus forgave him of all his sins. That's how much he loves us. You could go out now and kill every living thing in America, Australia and Africa, and as long as you truly were sorry, and you truly wanted to conform, God would forgive you and take your sins.
The murderer looked at Jesus hanging next to him, and not only knew that he was innocent of any crimes, he recognised him as someone special, he recognised that this guy, hanging next to him, dying the death of a terrible criminal, as the son of God, the person he knew could help him. So Jesus did help him.
If you said to God now, I'm sorry that I sin, please forgive me, unless you were truly sorry for all the evil things you've done, you might as well try asking the wall. Ask God and want to believe, and you will.
