Everybody talks of REPENTANCE.
Many claim having repented that now they are trekking to the eternal kingdom of God.
How come people cannot walk TOGETHER due to diverse doctrines?
Therefore, what really is REPENTANCE? Our Lord said:
• Luk 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye REPENT, ye shall all likewise perish.
• Luk 13:5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye REPENT, ye shall all likewise perish.

I believe that true repentance is to turn from our fleshly lust to fulfilling spiritual desires and with this we are renewed with the love of Christ in our hearts, a love for all in which no denominational walls can withstand no matter how diverse their doctrine is. We love one another with the same unconditional love Christ has for us, regardless as to whether or not they love us back. I have always used the analogy of me being a straw and all His love Christ pours into me I need to pour out to the world. Remember as He IS so are we in the world. God is Love and I always need to remember that loving one another starts with me.
No true brother or sister in Christ Jesus will let any doctrine get in the way of fellowshipping together, after all I don't know 2 people in this world that agree on everything, but we can agree on the Main thing, Christ Jesus. |

I Cor 1:10, "Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment."
Yours is a good question. The answer I believe is because man as added his own thoughts and his own ways to the gospel and now false doctrines are prevalent. Of course my observation is probably true but how to find ourselves back to square one is near impossible because we seem to be unable to distinguish between the truth and a lie.
I saw a church once that boasted that they were the church of many faiths, but the Bible says:
Ephesians 4:4-6, "There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, One FAITH, One baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all."
My observation, Judy |

You are so right Nana.
That's why I make it a point to repent.......at least once a day.......whether I need it or not...........  |

Sorry  but multiple posting breaks board rules on at least 1 of the forums you've sent it to (and perhaps more?)
http://www.thechristadelphians.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=11256&st=0&#entry311052

No problem personally with you promoting your church, but would be better with more engagement and dialogue.
God bless

It is my observation that when Jesus spoke repentance he spoke to the Jews, because he was sent to the lost tribes of the house of Israel. The Gentiles knew nothing of repentance from the mouth of Christ.
If the Jews were to know true righteousness, a righteousness that would present them holy before God, they were going to have to believe in Christ and not in the Mosiac Law. To turn to Christ would have been for the Jews true repentance.
True repentance for the Gentiles was to turn from idol worship to Christ.
In Christ, Judy |

Hi
I beleave the reason for people not walking together is because of misunderstanding. Because of diverse doctrines.
If we could reach out in love to Jesus first and stay in that love. If we all did that I beleave we would walk better together

First off, Steven, I can't see where this post promotes
Sandra's church? 
Hi sandra, Our rule says:
Rule #7
7) No excessive cross posting between forums and websites.
The key word here is excessive, do you do this a lot or all the time ?
Sandra, I have know problem with it unless you make a habit of it.

Repentance, has to do with the knowledge of what the Bible defines, as sin.
How many people keep ALL 10 commandments as found in Exodus 20:3-17 ?
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
AND, the BIble clearly states that any person who commits known sin....is NOT getting into heaven.
BUT, those who keep and obey ALL 10 commandments ARE geting into heaven.......
Revelation 22:14 Blessed [are] they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
The whole point of the Gospel message, is to get sin out of the lives of men/women, and bring them back into obeying, each and every one of God's commandments.
AND, Jesus Christ is the means, whereby that is possible.

I wonder what is it that people repent of anyway?

John 15:22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.
Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
Since people in the modern Christian world have NOT studied out what the Bible defines, as sin......How can they repent, and be forgiven their sins ?

Basically,
I believe that Jesus was telling them they had to repent of their lack of faith and trust in God's works and stop putting so much trust and faith in their own.. 
Repent of their lies about God and his laws,
Repent of their adulteries with other idols and religions being mixed in with the truth,
Repent of their murders by hating people for their weaknesses and poorness,
Repent of their covetousness of other peoples money and goods,
Repent of using their parents as bargaining chips and honour them,
Repent of taking God's name in vain, when they said He said, when He never said, what they said he said.
Repent of Hypocrisy.
Repent from not loving God and their neighbour ultimately..
That's my opinion.
hugs
Lone
