I will share a quick comment on repentance if that's ok? The word repent has been widely misinterpreted.
Repent has two meanings
You will not find the words 'repent of sin' mentioned anywhere in the bible. You will find the word repent many times but not repent of sin.
God repented more than any other individual in the KJV bible (35 times). What did God need to repent for if it means to repent from sin? Did God need to repent and be saved?
These are very logical questions to ask!
Repent does not mean to stop sinning or turn from sin.
False teachers have added 'of sin' to the end of 'repent' - but 'repent of sin' is not found once in the bible.
In the context of salvation - repent means to turn from unbelief to belief i.e change your mind. It could be argued that it has the double meaning of also being remorseful/sorry for being a sinner. But the core meaning is to repent from unbelief to belief and when you do that you are saved.
If people want to believe that it means 'repent of sin' they need to explain why God repented more than anyone else in the bible? They also need to explain why 'repent of sin' is not found in the bible?
Thank you
