It isn't for man to judge repentance because we are not privy to what is in a person's heart.

Courts examine a defendant's repentence or lack thereof as a prime consideration in sentencing. A person may try to hide their unrepentant attidude, but their actions bear out the truth and may be judged without much difficulty.

We pay judges in America to do judge this very thing.

Both of you are right. Courts are charged with, and try to do this. But they cannot look into a person's heart to know truly whether someone is repentant or not. Repentance can be, and often is, feigned. Only God can know the truth of it.

I was not talking about a wordly Court, neither was the person I was responding to.
