I didn't say you had any authority. Apparently that isn't stopping you from trying.
No, I'm just sharing what I've learned. I suppose you'd rather we keep quiet and let you do all the talking.

You didn't answer the question as far as do repent often, all that's required is a yes or no response. You stated you repented when you accepted Christ I assume that's one time.

Oh, I have to believe others have a similar story to tell.
Indeed. Walking the walk is a learning process :) The initial repentance was coming to saving faith, by receiving the free gift of God, in laying down my opposition to Him, and accepting His offer through the propitiatory sacrifice of Jesus on the cross for the remission of sin, and then I had much more to learn, of all the subtler manifestations of sin, sins of my heart and attitude, and not just the more easily recognizable outward behaviors.

It is those heart attitudes that I still very much struggle with, and I must turn to God and Jesus Christ again and again for help in combating my continued lapses, which sometimes cause me great embarrassment and shame, despite knowing I am forgiven, and loved dearly by Him Who welcomes me into His presence, through the shed blood of Christ, out of His great love for ALL of us, whether we believe or not. Coming to that place of a fuller surrender and acceptance of His plan through His Son, was the number one biggest change of my life, but I am still responsible for putting one foot in front of the other as I walk after His perfect ways, in all my human frailty and imperfection.

I don't think constructive criticism is an insult. Sarcasm is an insult, however. You seem to revel in your sarcasm.
I love sarcasm. It is a very effective tool. Jesus thinks so too.

Tell me about me real self Master.....
You've revealed yourself very well, not just on this thread, but on others. Remember the time you misquoted me? When I brought this to your attention, you didn't acknowledge your mistake. You simply stopped posting on that thread. Have you ever heard the word "credibility"?
