Honestly at this point I'm not sure if you're saying you can't be forgiven for sins that you commit after becoming a Christian and having all prior sins washed away or not.
All I can say is that I believe you can be forgiven of your sins by repenting of them after you've realized you've committed them, even after having become a Christian, and you are forgiven. God's love is not finite, nor is his forgiveness. Thus, I believe unconditional and endless forgiveness is core to Christianity based off of many verses pertaining to Jesus' teachings. That does not mean that legally it should be practiced, as in this world you must be punished for crimes you commit, but it does not change that one should try to forgive someone who has done wrong in their heart even if said person must be punished if you are to act like a Christian.
And in regards to your other comment, Jesus didn't teach against eye for an eye in a judicial system, but he most CERTAINLY didn't speak in support of it. So when putting together the fact that he was against eye for an eye on an interpersonal level and didn't speak in support of it for a judicial system, you can't say he taught in support of it. That was my entire point from the start.
The verses in the bible on unconditional love are plentiful, and a few of which I mentioned. It seems like you're purposefully attempting to avoid the uncomfortable business of loving and forgiving unconditionally despite all the verses stating how God loves us without end and how we should act the same towards others. Forgiveness on an interpersonal level has to be unconditional, otherwise you're not going to be able to free yourself from hatefulness as easily. Unconditional love and forgiveness is literally demonstrated in the fact that Jesus was crucified and still asked forgiveness for those that murdered him.
