“I’m not sure what other demonstration of that you would require.”
An actual request for forgiveness. That is what you asserted was necessary, and that is what is missing from the example I provided.
“Jesus demonstrated that being in state of remorse, humility, and repentance was enough for her to be forgiven and that she did not have to offer an animal sacrifice at the Temple for that to happen.”
So if that is all that is required, then she did not have to ask for forgiveness, and you have disproved your own argument.
Now you are crossing into being disengenuous in order to try to protect your position.
I never said or implied that verbal contrition had to be spoken. I said that a person had to want to be forgiven. There are many ways to communicate that, especially to an all knowing God, but also to another person.
Now you need to do some serious praying and contemplation on this. After that, I'd be happy to take it up again.
