Can you please point out where anyone on this thread attacked any Muslim people? All I have seen is people talking about the deceptive, violet, socially unacceptable, and honestly strait up evil teachings of the Quran. All I have seen was people speaking against Islam, but I could have missed one, can you tell me who was hating and/or speaking out against Muslim people.
Proverbs 19:21New International Version (NIV)
21 Many are the plans in a person’s heart,
but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.
"Are we laying prone before God; catching up to God's purposes in all of the details in the headlines of today? Or are we reasoning what must His purposes be?" Is it as simple as we have placed the cart before the horse, mistakenly? Or is it we have stopped to put wheels on the cart, because we see this as a better plan?"

But that is not "repenting."
If, on the other hand, you felt there was nothing wrong with whatever you were already doing..... and then looked closer at that thing and decided to stop doing it (changed your mind about it.) because you found a reason to feel it was wrong for you, then THAT would be "repenting."
Just stopping some sinning hasn't a thing to do with repenting. No more than feeling bad about doing something does.
"Repent" is one of those words we have totally corrupted (probably mainly due to RCC influence) into a modern meaning that was never in the Bible.
"Our brain is of no use to God unless we live by way of the spirit, first. Then, our brain will have been thru the Holy Spirit's guidance to give spiritual value to the room. But only when He commissions us to serve it out." He gave you a brain but you think from your heart; the brain is but a mechanism that dishes out what the spirit renders true....unto your soul. Which spirit rules your heart rules your thoughts. So, it is not quite as simple as God gave you a brain to use."

As far as some people that say Islam is like Christianity in that they persecute the unbelievers is not valid.
The Bible instructs the saints not to fight physically for the kingdom of God,and be harmless as doves,and turn the other cheek,and if they do not heed what the Christian says that person is to walk away from them,and let them be.
The Bible even instructs the saints to not even fight verbally with people,and if it gets to that point,let it go and move on,for God does not even want strife among people verbally.
And hypocrites,and people that would go contrary to that does not change anything,and Jesus said the hypocrites do not belong to Him.
But the Quran is not like that but allows them to fight for their religion,where the God of the Bible says do not fight for your religion.
Even when the world attacks the saints at the beast kingdom,God said,do not fight back,for however you fight back it will come back on you,for he that leads in to captivity will go in to captivity,and he that kills with the sword,will perish with the sword.
This is the patience and faith of the saints,for they will have to endure it,and Jesus said,do not fear what they can do to the body,but can do no more,but fear God.
As far as the Roman Catholic Church,they are worldliness,and the Bible together,paganism,and the world together,the religious system of the cruel Roman Empire,which is why they were in to control,power,and persecuting people that did not comply,and going forth with physical power for physical dominion,which Jesus said not to do.
When they embraced Christianity,they held unto their religious ways,and it became their foundation for the interpretation of scriptures.
There is no comparison between Islam and Christianity,and hypocrites are not part of Christianity,so Christianity cannot be blamed.It cannot be blamed for the worldly people not doing right claiming Christianity.
Christianity and who actually belongs to Christianity,is blameless,without fault,in perfect morals,and love,unequaled by any other religion,or belief system on the planet.
Islam is not,and far from showing the love of God to the world,even though creation testifies there is a higher power that loves people,and even a lot of atheists have better morals,and love,than them.

"Well, it is good to point out wrong long enough to get the attention of those who are focused on it to eventually teach goodness. If you yourself, have not attacked Muslims within your heart - I say, "God be with you!" If your goodness is to speak of the truth of evil without the immediate follow up of the goodness of Christ, - I say, "May God be with you!"

Mormons and JV do not preach murder anyone who disagrees with their belief. They dont preach jihad.They dont blow themselves up and as many as they can take with them. That is why these other religions aren't talked about.They coexist in the country with other religions. Islam does not. NoI do have an issue with the junk going on in Utah,taking young girls as brides. I had a huge argument with a poster here who was arguing for polygamy. I have a huge issue with that and went hard after the guy trying to defend it.
Repent is the English translation of a Greek word. That is all it is. It has a definite meaning. There is nothing Spiritual or magical about the word. It means, basically and in simple language: "Look at this, (whatever 'this' might be) and make up your mind to think differently about it."
It is not some Hocus-Pocus word that suddenly transforms you into something different. It is a common, ordinary Greek word that we pronounce in English as "repent."

Brother, I have seen God working in your life - I praise God for that, by the way. You are apart of my family in God. And it isn't because God gifted you with getting over sexual immorality, and gifted you with a clean mouth, nor even is it because He gifted you with a different perspective in fighting. But I am, simply, so delighted that God gifted you with Jesus (that covers it all - right?!). "If you remain in Me and My Words remain in you..." Right?!
Now, as satan tempts you in all those conquered sins to repeat them, you will have a rock to stand on (The Armor of God), and when you are tempted He will provide a way out to stand up under it. You are developing a godly-character, and He works on us all to go from where we are to where He is leading us, so let not your boast be in the gifts of God save one; namely Jesus Christ. In Him our boast is righteous! Brother you keep your eyes on Jesus He is doing just fine wit ya!
