'Forgiveness is free'...True or False?

After my blog yesterday and the increase in views, most likely because it was slightly more controversial I've decided to continue on a similar note...

Anyway, after reading the comments made and reflecting on other people's opinion, it was interesting to see such a wide spread of views on one man. 

Yet I wonder....was there such a wide spread of views when Jesus was killed, a man who did no wrong yet paid a great price for us. I wonder if I posted yesterdays post with a different explanation and background into my personal viewpoint about Jesus, would it get the same response. 

Anyway....The title I've put is to really follow up and conclude from yesterdays post and ask, from any view point, religious or not, is forgiveness free?

From a variety of angles....

Is it free from someone like me who really just has an opinion on the subject and no direct connection?

Is it free from a relative of someone murdered in terror attacks within the last 10 years?

Is it free from the person who killed Osama Bin Laden?

I'll tell you who it is free from, the one person who suffered far greater than Osama Bin Laden or any other....

 Jesus Christ!
