Repent. To changes one mind or behavior.

[Lamb]

Oh, ma'am, everything you said here is flat wrong. I actually thank God that I am able to teach what I do in Christian churches and fellowships, to those seeking to move past the "elementary principles of Christ."
Again, as I told you before... The great many folk in the "Christian Religion" today have accepted "another Christ", which means they have not actually received the "Seed" that can actually bring them "eternal Life."

Truly, I have come to understand and appreciate Paul's admonition in 1Tim 2:11-15. It is a much needed Word for today, as God is calling His "sons" to "come after" Jesus, the "Firstborn among many brothers."

I know what I teach is not politically correct, but it IS Bible. And progressive women have the biggest issues with what Jesus, the Apostles, Prophets and some of us teach.

The time for foolishness in the churches is drawing to a close. God is no longer winking.

You admit that you preach that Jesus is not the reason why believers have eternal life. That's not Christianity. Jesus is the only reason that believers will have eternal life. Repent.

I would agree that Jesus wanted us to obey and not just feel guilty for sin. However on the meaning of repentance, I don't quite follow this discussion. I just did a search on repent and repentance in the the NRSV NT. It almost always means a general change in orientation. The closest I see to referring to specific acts is 2 Cor 12:21, and a couple of references in the Rev. Even in 2 Cor, it's really a whole pattern of behavior and not one act.

If you're changing from sin...what are you changing to? Holiness. But we cannot make ourselves Holy no matter how hard we try because sin is always present in these bodies. Only God is Holy. So repentance is changing from sin to looking to God in faith for forgiveness of that sin. By grace through faith we have Christ's holiness and that is because of the cross where sin was forgiven once and for all.
