TM,

by saying "every sin can be justifiable" I meant that not every act that is first perceived to be a sin is necessarily a sin. If you study the reason for some sins, you'll realize that they shouldn't count as sins because of the circumstances surrounding them. e.g. killing is a sin, and you will go to hell if you kill. But, if you killed someone in self-defense, then that sin of killing is justifiable, and you won't go to hell for that. Lying is also a sin. But if some killers came looking for your dad to finish him off, and you lied to them that you don't know where your dad is (when you know very well he's hidden below the bed), then that lie isn't a sin. It was necessary to save a life, and I don't see how god can punish you for that.

For every sin you can name, I can come up with a scenario where it would be a justifiable sin. So my point is, how can an all wise god decide that one sin will always be punishable by death without forgiveness, even if there are some scenarios where this sin can be justified e.g. the example I gave using Amy's mum.
