Id Like to have people who arent going to bring the argument to the words of Christ Jesus, bring whatever good knowledge the Lord has given them in order to discuss and share with each other subjects from the Bible. My belief is this If Jesus Christ said something in the gospel, it is valid and 100 percent the Word of Our Lord and Savior. I Honestly believe that the gog is not worth wasting time discussing ( for me anyways) i find it futile and a false doctrine. Im looking for others Who hold that Jesus Christ understands His Kingdom more than any other person on earth. this doesnt mean other scripture isnt inspired or welcome, it means I beloieve that all scripture is either pointing foreward to the gospel, or pointing Back to the gospel, lets Grow in Christ and the Gospel He taught........repentance according to Jesus and paul.
Luke 15: 11-24 "And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. 13And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. 14And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
15And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. 17And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, 19And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
20And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. 21And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. 22But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: 23And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: 24For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry."
What i see Here is the first paragraph show us the prodigals poor decision and the result of leaving His Father. He lives a life of sin.
the second paragraph begins with the state He is Left in because of the first paragraph, and then shows Him grasping what He has done wrong to lead Him there, He remembers His Father and desires to confess to His Father He has been wrong.
the third paragraph i see that He makes a decision and turns toward Hime and moves that direction hoping His father will have enough pity on Him to let Him be a hired servant so He can live and eat. the wonderful part of this is that When His Father sees Him coming Home, He runs to His son being filled with compassion, throws His arms around Him and kisses Him. I see as the son is confessing His sins, the Father is already treating Him as His Long lost son, the Father isnt accepting that he should be a lowly servant, but the Father has forgotten the worngs and is so full of Joy to have his son back.
a couple things more. The Father didnt send out men to find an drag His son home from His choice to leave. He didnt take the free will away from His Son. But it is very apparent that the Father never wanted His Son to Leave, He was already waiting for the day His son would come into sight on His way Home to Him. I think it shows Gods deep, deep Love for His child even though the child had treated His father so badly in the beginning simply wanting the inheritance to go live a life of sin. I see that the thing that turned the Son toward Hime was that He came to a point of realization of His sins, was filled with sorrow, and at that point His mind turned back to Daddy...or "Abba".
its not about what we did in the past even yesterday, its about what we do today....are you walking Home to Father?
again im not interested in the least in why God repents for us or any ommissions of Jesus Word, id rather discuss with those who can impart other teachings about repentance with any scriptures you know. God bless you in all things Jesus Christ, God is waiting for us to come to Our senses and start toward Home...Jesus showed the Way.
2 corinthians 7:9-10 "Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. 10For godly sorrow worketh REPENTANCE TO SALVATION not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death"
