Christ promised to forgive all sin, and he died on the Cross for that purpose. However he cannot forgive that which you do not want to be forgiven of. The only unforgivable sin is the blasphemy of rejecting the holy spirit.(Rejecting the holy spirit is the sin)
I know that what you've said is what Western Christians really believe, but I don't understand the Biblical foundation, nor do I see its place in Holy Tradition.
It doesn't make any sense to me that Christ would destroy Hell just to allow mankind to create it again, nor does it make sense that there would be a limit on the love that such a God would feel for us.
It seems to me from the creation itself, and from the sacrifices made so far, that a reasonable person would have some cause to believe the love is virtually unconditional, although I am acutely aware that it's not the typical view of organised Christianity.
