Repentance is granted by God to the sinner to turn from sin to Christ. It is not a bargaining chip whereby I will give up this or that to be saved, As the song writer said it Just as I am without one plea but that Thy blood was shed for me. If we have to clean up our lives to be saved, we are all doomed. Transformation in character is a result of the new birth not the reason for it. There are more Scriptures I could use but two will do the job. In discussion the conversion of Cornelius and those in his house, note what they said about those who were saved in Acts 11 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God? When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life. Please note repentance is considered to be a defining part of their salvation In II Peter 3:9 note how the unregenerate are contrasted to the regenerate not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Perishing describes the lost, repentant describes the saved. No matter what we say or think God Himself says repentance is part of salvation. |

Come back to our Savior’s words about the men of Nineveh in Matthew 12 and note He said that they repented at the preaching of Jonah. Well, what exactly did they do? (Jonah. 3:8-10). They turned from their evil way, our Lord called that repentance. Look at Pau’s testimony of his conversion and commission in Acts 26 God said he was sent to the Gentiles to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, how did Paul interpret that command? He preached (v20) that they should repent and turn to God and do works meet for repentance Was he preaching a works salvation? What evidence is offered in in Revelation 9:20, 21 and 16:11 that men had not repented? It was because they continued in their sins. In Ezekiel 14&18 we find the words. Repent and turn from (idols, abominations, transgressions). Turn and live What words did Paul say to the people of Lycaonia (Acts 14), turn from these vanities unto the living God. Paul commended the Thessalonians because their salvation was seen in that they turned from idols to serve the living God. Continued |

Let us examine what we find in ScripturesThe Lord Jesus said to a group of Galileans two times Except ye repent you will likewise perish First we will establish that those commanded to repent were the people to whom He was speaking. Except YE repent. In the Greek this phrase is in the active voice which means the subject IS the doer of the action. Now from what did they need to repent. Again context is important. In both cases he stated that those upon whom the previous judgments had fallen were sinners. He was obviously correcting their misconception that their sin wasn’t as bad as those whom the Lord mentioned. Repentance thus was from sin. No other explanation makes any sense. Christ came to call sinners to repentance (Luke 5) not to just inform them about it, there is definitely an expectation of a response. Go to Acts 2 and find those whom God’s Word who were pricked in their heart said what must shall we do? Peter’s first response was Repent If repentance is not part of salvation then the Apostles got it wrong and Luke was incorrect to say 3000 were saved. Go to Acts 3 and in the midst of Peter’s salvation sermon we find the words Repent and be converted. Again showing repentance to be an integral part of salvation. Continued |

Where’s the command to post our thoughts about the news? So far I have yet to see rants on her part There was no redress of grievances to the government in Biblical times so of course it doesn’t speak to it. In loco paresis is a Latin term that describes what a teacher does. So yes the parents have every right to speak out against what is being taught. Read your Hre Testament and tell me where Paul said the world is to go to hell in a hand basket. I Corinthians 5 does not mean we are to ge silent at all the evil about us. That’s hiding our light under a bushel Be so kind as to share a link to her anger/ ire because I can’t even find on pro LBTQ sites about this incident. Thanks |
