Hi again donnyscot,
Thanks for the response. It's late this side of the planet so I have to get to bed. Will try to connect tomorrow.
There's going to be a bit of opposition from people of many backgrounds....You know the old saying about politics and religion. Glad you have an open mind and trust the Bible's Authority.
Look forward to talking the next couple days.

Faith is a sovereignly granted gift, something which cannot be evoked from a man's own will. That gift of faith is an endowment, a distinguishing feature possessed by God, and inherited by those He has chosen out of the world. A peace offering; an olive branch, to facilitate repentance in His adopted children.
Along with reconciliation and restoration, repentance is a predominant theme in the relationship between God and His people. What use is faith, if it doesn't oil the wheels of change in you?
Faith, forgiveness, and spiritual renewal. Faith comes from God, so those who have faith will put on the new self, in the image of Him.
Faith is the means of entry for His Spirit to conform us to the image of His Son. To be in harmony with God, necessitates that those who abide in Him, follow in Christ's steps. Jesus had faith and did no sin, so to become like He was in the world, we must have faith and repent of sins we did in our own ignorance and pride.
Those who repent are not working for salvation, they're conveying thanks for the mercy and forgiveness which God has afforded them. A forgiveness so inexpressible to the human mind, that only the life; suffering, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus could convey it.

The issue with many people here is the same issue with many people elsewhere. They rail against the necessity of repentance in direct opposition to the word of God. Stick with Christ's commission, and you will be fine.
Luk 24:46
And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
Luk 24:47
And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
Luk 24:48
And ye are witnesses of these things.

Welcome Donny, i'm in England. Some people are a bit more jobsworth types than others but think we're all just trying to muddle through with all the craziness of the last 5 years.
Gobsmacked it's that long already, welcome and hugs, there are plenty of interesting threads which i think might interest you to mix in with the more spiritual ones.
