Your comment: “But you’re not going to suggest that repent means penance or doing some good works to please God, are you??? “
So you are unwilling to do penance for your sins?
Penance is a supernatural moral virtue whereby the sinner is disposed to hatred of his sin as an offense against God and to a firm purpose of amendment and satisfaction.
The principal act in the exercise of this virtue is the detestation of sin, not of sin in general nor of that which others commit, but of one’s own sin.
The motive of this detestation is that sin offends God: to regret evil deeds on account of the mental or physical suffering, the social loss, or the action of human justice which they entail, is natural; but such sorrow does not suffice for penance.
On the other hand, the resolve to amend, while certainly necessary, is not sufficient of itself, i.e., without hatred for sin already committed; such a resolve, in fact, would be meaningless: it would profess obedience to God‘s law in the future while disregarding the claims of God‘s justice in the matter of past transgression.
Your comment:”2Ti_4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. That’s ME... “
So you are either dead or dying. Saint Paul is talking about the reward upon death for the saints as he feels that such a reward awaits him on his sense of accomplishment after 30 years of ministry without straying from the course set for him by Jesus.
Again there is no forgiveness of future sins. I think you are confused and just deny God’s Truth if it does fit your personal opinion.
Do you ever have any original answers??? Most everything you post you plagiarize from Catholic Answers...You guys don't even have to think...
And apparently that's why you guys can never respond to the multitude of scriptures that are posted to show that you are wrong...You wasted your education on human philosophy and Catholic Church function...You guys know nothing about God or Jesus...
Perhaps you have not learned that one is born again by the SEED of GOD coming into their before dead spirit to ABIDE (1 John 3:9).
It could be that you have yet to learn that The Righteousness of Christ is IMPUTED to the born agains and that with HIS LIFE in the spirit of the born again THAT spirit cannot sin! Oh the flesh will sin (the flesh=body and behavior mechanism/soul).
Have you ever realized that The Word of God separates the soul and spirit and that God then ABIDES in the come alive separated spirit? These are deep SPIRITUAL TRUTHS of GOD's doing. Try to learn them, but first get born again so His Spirit can teach your soul.
