That would make Jesus divided.
No it wouldn't.
The Bible says he is not.
1 Corinthians 1:13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
No one said He was.
That would make Jesus divided.
The Bible says he is not.
1 Corinthians 1:13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
Repentance is of sins.
I have given many scriptures to you proving that we are to repent of sins.
Humans have to repent of sins,
not God!
Read it again more carefully:
2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “the Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.”
If you say at ANY TIME that Jesus is your Lord, you must have every intention of stopping your sin, you must repent of those sins which mean be sorry for those sins.
Luke 6:46 Why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord,' but not do what I say?
Matthew 7:21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Romans 2:13 For it is not the hearers of the Law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the Law who will be declared righteous.
So if you consider the scriptures carefully,
you will be able to see that if you say Jesus is your Lord, or say Jesus you are my Lord---you had better be doing what he says which means obey him.
Jesus says repent
and that is about sins.
Obey Jesus’ commands, and in his commands there are no sins.
It is not something to be fought,
just believe
and do what the scripture says, it is about confess and repenting of sins to be saved.
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." - 1 John 1:9
A dead work is sin.
Read the scripture again it says the foundation (the way to get saved) is by repenting of sins and faith.
Sin/sins is NOT THE ISSUE today! All of the work necessary to save anyone today was accomplished by God through the faith and finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ in the WORLD'S place; that includes ALL MEN (no matter who they are, where they've been or what they were doing while they were there)!
2 Corinthians 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
1 Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
If you at this moment are an unbeliever, the only thing stopping you from being saved is your unbelief because even though the righteousness of God (the standard for heaven) is available UNTO YOU by the faith of Jesus Christ, it is not UPON YOU until that moment in your life when you trust the Lord believing Christ died for your sins and that He was buried and rose again the third day (1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV). Trust the Lord for salvation and the righteousness of God will be imputed to you (Romans 3:21-22 KJV, Romans 4:23-25 KJV).
Now, THAT ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^is the "nicest thing you can say to a homo"!
There are not different salvations in the New Testament.,
When a person is SAVED they have SALVATION, they are RECONCILED to God and won't die in their SINS and are given ETERNAL LIFE. if they continue to have faith and obedience.
They preached to have faith in Jesus who forgives sins.
Jesus preached that he forgives sins and to have faith in him.
Do you want the many scriptures again?
John the baptizer even proclaimed that Jesus is the LAMB OF GOD who takes away the sins of the world. Everyone knew what the lambs were for.
John 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
Humans have to repent of sins, not God.
If you go by the KJV, then God stopped/turned from the evil that He was going to do.
Exodus 32:14
King James Bible
And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
That is about God stopping/repenting what He thought of doing.
2 Samuel 24:16 King James Bible
And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough: stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD was by the threshingplace of Araunah the Jebusite.
Psalm 106:45 King James Bible
And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
Johah 3:10 King James Bible
And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
Again, humans have to repent of SINS, God does not.
Without the shedding of blood, there was no forgiveness of sins.
The law was a teaching tool
it was a shadow of Jesus.
God did not like it that the Jews would give a sin offering but not really be sorry for their sins. God said it made the righteous blood offerings as dirty bloody rags. It made God be weary of their sacrifices.
He said he would make a new covenant.
God says their sins/offenses had to be turned away from before He would save them.
Ezekiel 18:31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
He did say it.
Here it is again:
Jesus says repent or perish.
That is clear that one will perish and not have salvation if they don’t repent of sins.
You condition salvation on man then !
To repent is to be sorry for your sins and have every intention of stopping them.
Just look at that dishonest thing you did acting like I said that. Shame on you for doing that.
YOU are shameful!Exo 32:14 KJV And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
It is all same one and only faith.No one said He was.
No it's not.
Repentance just means "turning away from [something]."
It does not necessarily refer to sin. If it did, then God could be accused of sinning, as I showed you in the verse above.
Humans have to repent of sins.You've given lots of verses, none of which support, let alone prove, your position.
If repentance only refers to sins, then why add the clarifier phrase "of sins" on every time you use the word "repent"?
Because you know that repentance can be for other things as well, not just sin.
I gave many scriptures that describe what we have to repent of, and it is of sins.You said "repent" means "of sins."
Isn't it interesting that Paul doesn't say anything about "sin" specifically, just "wickedness"?
No, not "sin." "Wickedness."
Don't try to change what the Bible says.
God is not divided. Paul says not to say you are of Peter or of Paul, or of Jesus---not of Jesus as what you say when you say those Jews when Jesus walked the earth before he was crucified…Did you notice that both of those verses are in the Gospels, and not in Paul's epistles?
And not only that, but Jesus said them during his ministry to the... Jews......
Hmmm.
I wonder why that is... :think:
To the Jews.
To the Gentiles and the whole world He says "believe."
Quite a different message.
If repentance only refers to sins, then why add the clarifier phrase "of sins" on every time you use the word "repent"?

You said "repent" means "of sins."
But it doesn't mean just that.
It means of other things as well.
That's the point we're trying to make here, GT.
Isn't it interesting that Paul doesn't say anything about "sin" specifically, just "wickedness"?
It makes no difference, for Paul taught Jews and Gentiles the one and only gospel.Did you notice that Paul is not talking about Christians OR Jews there?
He's talking about people who have never heard the gospel before.
All the scriptures that say to ‘believe’, they do not nullify the scriptures that say to obey.To the Jews.
To the Gentiles and the whole world He says "believe."
Quite a different message.
Remember, we can’t say oh I am of one of the Twelve, or I am of Paul, or I am of whom Jesus spoke to when he walked the earth.Notice how that was written by one of the Twelve Apostles to, yup, you guessed it, JEWS.
You condition salvation on man then !
Jesus tells us what to do. Jesus came to tell us how to get saved.
Jesus tells us what to do. Jesus came to tell us how to get saved.
The Jesus I know came to seek and to save that which was lost Lk 19.
You still condition salvation on what man does.
It's typical man works salvation which is condemned in scripture.
