Unsupported assertion. Unless you happen to be both eternal and omniscient, you have no way of verifying that.

The onus for forgiving clearly falls upon your god. If it wants to remain eternally butt-hurt because a mortal didn't actually ask it for forgiveness, it's got issues. Big, big issues.
Furthermore, in the context of a powerful and eternally-existing being, any act committed by a mortal is both instantaneous and infinitesimal, and theoretically too insignificant to to injure the eternal being in any way whatsoever.
Quote: The sin doesn't go away...
It could, if the god merely ignored it. Are you seriously claiming that your god is so bloody petty that it holds itty-bitty grudges against mortals for eternity and would rather just sit there on its duff the whole time listening to those same mortals screaming in agony? FFS, that's pathetic.
Quote: there is no resolution of the sin leaving no alternative but an eternal punishment. Also, there has to be a balance and eternal life with God is balanced by eternal life without God, to have the one the other must exist.
No, that is a needless constraint put upon your alleged god by human apologists. It is a tool they use to enslave mortals like yourself into the worship of an alleged god so irredeemably evil that it should be condemning itself to hell.
Needless to say, if I ever do make it to the mythical Great White Throne I intend to immediately throttle your imaginary fiend with its own pubic hairs, blink it out of existence (as I am not nearly as evil and actually would not torture it for eternity), abolish hell, and release literally everybody without a single exception.
Try seeing things from the big-picture POV of a god and you'll see immediately how insulting the hell myth really is. It isn't justice; it's something that priests made up to fill the pews and the coffers. I recognized sometime before my 8th birthday that it was just a mechanism invented to control the populace.
