The term used was Adonay and is a word meaning someone in authority. If Paul knew who Messiah was then why did Messiah introduce Himself?

Bluster thinks his words are better than those in the Bible. I'm surprised anyone manages to get saved with all these lousy translations. Maybe he and God's Untruth should write their own translation...then we could have a contest to see who the winner is.
"Adonai". You do realize you're employing an Arian argument against the deity of Jesus to prove your point?
Adonay and adonai were one and the same the vowels being added in the Masoretic text between 600 to 800 AD. Adonay, adoni and adonim are are transliterated titles.
You accuse me wrongly and yet you use pagan terms of god, christ, jesus.
Shalom.
That is a good question. Did he sin, and when was he born of God?
I have thought about when he was converted before, but it was likely not conversion. I am a Jew. I do not believe that Peter converted to be a Christian.
Shalom.

You have to believe that you have to obey Jesus.
All the scriptures you find that say 'believe', those scriptures do not nullify the scriptures that say to obey, and I have given you many of them, but you do not address them directly.

What you say is not from God. Read this scripture about how people who do right they COME INTO THE LIGHT.
John 3:21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.

I know what the Bible means by repentance. We are asking you what you mean. You say it means repent of sins. What does that mean?

By the way, you gave the common modern understanding of repentance, not the biblical one.

Do you think that is what the Bible means when it says repent? I don't.

How much dedication is enough? As far as turning from goes, how do you know your amount of turning is good enough?

Paul did not come along and change the word of 'repent'.
Jesus, after he ascended into heaven taught repent of sins.
When Jesus walked the earth he says to repent of sins(Luke 13:5); Jesus says if you obey my teachings you will be saved (Matthew 6:14, Matthew 6:15, John 8:31, John 13:17, John 15:10, John 15:14).
In addition, the disciples after having received the Holy Spirit, they CONTINUED to preach that the people should believe AND REPENT of their sins and call on Jesus' name (Acts 2:38, Acts 5:31, Luke 24:47, Acts 3:19,) and, even PAUL HIMSELF PREACHED REPENT of SINS (Acts 17:30; Acts 20:21, Acts 26:20, 2 Corinthians 12:21 ).
When Jesus died, rose again, and ascended to heaven, he taught to obey and repent of sins, Revelation 3:3, Revelation 14:12, Revelation 2:5, Revelation 3:19, Revelation 9:20,21,Revelation 16:10, 11.
