No matter your denomination, what is the most terrible sin a person can commit?
Religion has absolutely nothing to do with salvation. Jesus didn't die for one particular religious group; He died to save each and every individual in this world, from the condemnation sin placed on us. He is not willing that [u]any[/u] should miss heaven. He loves us all the same. John 3:16 and 17.
Sin is sin. God does not categorize it. In His eyes, all sin is equally as serious, as [u]all[/u] sin [b]keeps us separated from God the Father[/b], [u]until[/u] we confess our sins to Jesus and ask Him to forgive us. He then, goes to His Father in heaven on our behalf, asking Him to grant our prayer for forgiveness of sins, which His Father does, as promised. He turns no one away, who wants Him in their hearts and lives as their Savior.
One sin, however, the sin of deliberately rejecting God and His Son; refusing the gift God freely offers us of [u]salvation in Jesus Christ[/u]....this is the only sin that God cannot forgive, because we are rejecting the Holy Spirit’s witness about Jesus as Savior, and claiming the Holy Spirit is telling a lie. (See Mark 3:28-29.) This is called the "unpardonable sin".
Have you sought God’s forgiveness for all your sins? I did, and Jesus saved me, just as He promised. Don’t trust yourself or your own goodness for your salvation—for none can ever earn their way to heaven through good works or deeds. It is only by God's grace, through faith in His Son, Jesus, that we can be saved:

[/center] Acts 4:12 - "Neither is there salvation in any other: for [b]there is [u]none other name under heaven given among men[/u], whereby we must be saved.”[/b]
[b]God said if we are to be saved, we must accept Jesus Christ as our Savior, and trust in Him alone, for our salvation. Our sin is great—but God’s grace is much greater. John 6:40 “And this is the will of Him that sent me, that every one which seeks the Son and believeth on Him, may have everlasting life in heaven: and I will raise him up at the last day. ” [/b]

Regular priests today, can't forgive anyone's sins. After Jesus died on the cross, priests were done away with they weren't needed any longer to make atonement for the people's sins. Jesus became our ultimate high priest and the Old Law is abolished. A priest today can no more forgive us of our sins. He is with sin himself, but Jesus being sinless, became the perfect High Priest for us, so that we can pray directly to Him and ask Him to forgive us of our sins. John 3:16 to 17.
@Thodsis I know they would because I guess they don't want to believe what the Bible says about that. This is a mere man that has sent himself and he served his purpose in the time before Jesus came but after that scripture says that priests are no longer needed and they cannot forgive sins. They don't have the authority to do that. Only Jesus Does
