Repentance
In Biblical Hebrew, the idea of repentance is represented by two verbs: שוב shuv (to return) and נחם nacham (to feel sorrow). In the New Testament, the word translated as 'repentance' is the Greek word μετάνοια (metanoia), "after/behind one's mind", which is a compound word of the preposition 'meta' (after, with), and the verb 'noeo' (to perceive, to think, the result of perceiving or observing). In this compound word the preposition combines the two meanings of time and change, which may be denoted by 'after' and 'different'; so that the whole compound means: 'to think differently after'. Metanoia is therefore primarily an after-thought, different from the former thought; a change of mind and change of conduct, "change of mind and heart", or, "change of consciousness". [...]

Religion vs. Repentance
Many think the word repent means "to get your act together" or to "get religion" or "fly straight"; as if we could. Repentance requires taking in a whole new point of view; looking at it God's way. God simply asks us to turn. This is the way we accept His gift. When we do, certain outcomes are promised. If we don't, or we "turn back", alternate outcomes are promised. [...]

What is repentance and is it necessary for salvation?
Many understand the term repentance to mean “turning from sin.” This is not the biblical definition of repentance. In the Bible, the word repent means “to change one’s mind.” The Bible also tells us that true repentance will result in a change of actions (Luke 3:8-14; Acts 3:19). Acts 26:20 declares, “I preached that they should repent and turn to God and prove their repentance by their deeds.” The full biblical definition of repentance is a change of mind that results in a change of action.
What, then, is the connection between repentance and salvation? The Book of Acts seems to especially focus on repentance in regards to salvation (Acts 2:38; 3:19; 11:18; 17:30; 20:21; 26:20). To repent, in relation to salvation, is to change your mind in regard to Jesus Christ. In Peter’s sermon on the day of Pentecost (Acts chapter 2), he concludes with a call for the people to repent (Acts 2:38). Repent from what? Peter is calling the people who rejected Jesus (Acts 2:36) to change their minds about Him, to recognize that He is indeed “Lord and Christ” (Acts 2:36). Peter is calling the people to change their minds from rejection of Christ as the Messiah to faith in Him as both Messiah and Savior. [...]

Repentance in Judaism known as teshuva
(Hebrew: תשובה, literally "return"), is the way of atoning for sin in Judaism.
According to Gates of Repentance, a standard work of Jewish ethics written by Rabbenu Yonah of Gerona, if someone commits a sin, a forbidden act, he can be forgiven for that sin if he performs teshuva, which includes [...]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Definition: Repentance means a sincere turning away, in both the mind and heart, from self to God.
In a biblical context, repentance is recognizing that our sin is offensive to God. Repentance can be shallow, such as the remorse we feel because of fear of punishment (like Cain) or it can be deep, such as realizing how much our sins cost Jesus Christ and how his saving grace washes us clean (like the conversion of Paul).

Repentance is What America
needs to become America Again !!!
Thanks - beloved Paul Piatti and Rod ...
No Matter Which 'Party' You Claim Allegiance To ...
It is WHAT AMERICA NEEDS to become America Again !
Trump; things you didn't know about him ...
What can he do? Love him or Hate him - It is worth a read ...
Hopefully, at least, he’s waking some of the RINOs up. The criticisms of
Trump are amazingly missing something. They are lacking in negative stories
from those who work for him or have had business dealings with him. After
all the employees he’s had and all the business deals he’s made there is a
void of criticism. In fact, long term employees call him a strong and
merciful leader and say he is far more righteous and of high integrity than
people may think and while it may surprise many, he’s actually humble when
it comes to his generosity and kindness. A good example is a story that
tells of his limo breaking down on a deserted highway outside of New York
City. A middle-aged couple stopped to help him and as a thank you he paid
off their mortgage, but he didn’t brag about that. Generous and good people
rarely talk of charity they bestow on others. But as much as all this is
interesting, the real thing that people want to know is what Donald Trump’s
plan is for America. It’s funny how so many people say they don’t know what
it is, or they act like Trump is hiding it. The information is readily
available if people would just do a little homework. But, since most
Americans won't do their own research, here, in no particular order, is an
overview of many of Trumps positions and plans:
1.) Trump believes that America should not intervene militarily in other
country’s problems without being compensated for doing so. If America is
going to risk the lives of our soldiers and incur the expense of going to
war, then the nations we help must be willing to pay for our help. Using
the Iraq War as an example, he cites the huge monetary expense to American
taxpayers (over $1.5 trillion, and possibly much more depending on what
sources are used to determine the cost) in addition to the cost in human
life. He suggests that Iraq should have been required to give us enough of
their oil to pay for the expenses we incurred. He includes in those
expenses the medical costs for our military and $5 million for each family
that lost a loved one in the war and $2 million for each family of soldiers
who received severe injuries.
2.) Speaking of the military, Trump wants America to have a strong military
again. He believes the single most important function of the federal
government is national defense. He has said he wants to find the General
Patton or General MacArthur that could lead our military buildup back to
the strength it needs to be. While he hasn’t said it directly that I know
of, Trump’s attitude about America and about winning tells me he’d most
likely be quick to eliminate rules of engagement that handicap our military
in battle. Clearly, Trump is a “win at all costs” kind of guy, and I’m sure
that would apply to our national defense and security, too.
3.) Trump wants a strong foreign policy and believes that it must include 7
core principles (which seem to support my comment in the last point):
· American interests come first. Always. No apologies. Maximum firepower
and military preparedness.
· Only go to war to win.
· Stay loyal to your friends and suspicious of your enemies.
· Keep the technological sword razor sharp.
· See the unseen. Prepare for threats before they materialize.
· Respect and support our present and past warriors.
4.) Trump believes that terrorists who are captured should be treated as
military combatants, not as criminals like the Obama administration treats
them.
5.) Trump makes the point that China’s manipulation of their currency has
given them unfair advantage in our trade dealings with them. He says we
must tax their imports to offset their currency manipulation, which will
cause American companies to be competitive again and drive manufacturing
back to America and create jobs here. Although he sees China as the
biggest offender, he believes that America should protect itself from all
foreign efforts to take our jobs and manufacturing. For example, Ford is
building a plant in Mexico and Trump suggests that every part or vehicle
Ford makes in Mexico be taxed 35% if they want to bring it into the U. S.,
which would cause companies like Ford to no longer be competitive using
their Mexican operations and move manufacturing back to the U. S., once
again creating jobs here.
6.) Trump wants passage of NOPEC legislation (No Oil Producing and
Exporting Cartels Act – NOPEC – S.394), which would allow the government to
sue OPEC for violating antitrust laws. According to Trump, that would break
up the cartel. He also wants to unleash our energy companies to drill
domestically (sound like Sarah Palin’s drill baby, drill?) thereby
increasing domestic production creating jobs and driving domestic costs of
oil and gas down while reducing dependence on foreign oil.
7.) Trump believes a secure border is critical for both security and
prosperity in America. He wants to build a wall to stop illegals from
entering and put controls on immigration. (And he says he’ll get Mexico to
pay for the wall, which many have scoffed at, but given his business
successes I wouldn’t put it past him.) He also wants to enforce our
immigration laws and provide no path to citizenship for illegals.
8.) Trump wants a radical change to the tax system to not only make it
better for average Americans, but also to encourage businesses to stay here
and foreign businesses to move here. The resulting influx of money to our
nation would do wonders for our economy. He wants to make America the place
to do business. He also wants to lower the death tax and the taxes on
capital gains and dividends. This would put more than $1.6 trillion back
into the economy and help rebuild the 1.5 million jobs we’ve lost to the
current tax system. He also wants to charge companies who outsource jobs
overseas a 20% tax, but for those willing to move jobs back to America,
they would not be taxed. And for citizens he has a tax plan that would
allow Americans to keep more of what they earn and spark economic growth.
He wants to change the personal income tax to:
· Up to $30,000 taxed at 1%
· From $30,000 to $100,000 taxed at 5%
· From $100,000 to $1,000,000 taxed at 10%
· $1,000,000 and above taxed at 15%
9.) Trump wants Obamacare repealed. He says it’s a “job-killing, health
care-destroying monstrosity” that “can’t be reformed, salvaged, or fixed.”
He believes in allowing real competition in the health insurance
marketplace to allow competition to drive prices down. He also believes in
tort reform to get rid of defensive medicine and lower costs.
10.) Trump wants spending reforms in Washington, acknowledging that
America spends far more than it receives in revenue. He has said he
believes that if we don’t stop increasing the national debt once it hits
$24 trillion it will be impossible to save this country.
11.) Even though he says we need to cut spending, he does not want to
harm those on Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security. He believes that the
citizens have faithfully paid in to the system to have these services
available and that the American government has an obligation to fulfill its
end of the bargain and provide those benefits. Therefore, he wants to build
the economy up so that we have the revenue to pay those costs without
cutting the benefits to the recipients. He disagrees with Democrats who
think raising taxes is the answer and says that when you do that you stifle
the economy. On the other hand, when you lower taxes and create an
environment to help businesses they will grow, hire more workers, and those
new workers will be paying taxes that become more tax revenue for the
government.
12.) Trump also wants reform of the welfare state saying that America
needs “a safety net, not a hammock.” He believes in a welfare to work
program that would help reduce the welfare roles and encourage people to
get back to work. And he wants a crackdown on entitlement fraud.
13.) Trump believes climate change is a hoax.
14.) Trump opposes Common Core
15.) Trump is pro-life, although he allows for an exception due to rape,
incest, or the life of the mother.
16.) Trump is pro 2nd Amendment rights.
17.) Trump’s view on same-sex marriage is that marriage is between a man
and a woman, but he also believes that this is a states rights issue, not a
federal issue.
18.) Trump supports the death penalty.
Trump believes that there is a lack of common sense and innovative
thinking in Washington. (Hmmm… looks like he believes in horse sense!) He
says it’s about seeing the unseen and that’s the kind of thinking we need
to turn this country around. He tells a personal story to illustrate the
point: “When I opened Trump National Golf Club at Rancho Palos Verdes in
Los Angeles, I was immediately told that I would need to build a new and
costly ballroom. The current ballroom was gorgeous, but it only sat 200
people and we were losing business because people needed a larger space for
their events. Building a new ballroom would take years to get approval and
permits (since it’s on the Pacific Ocean), and cost about $5 million. I
took one look at the ballroom and saw immediately what needed to be done.
The problem wasn’t the size of the room, it was the size of the chairs.
They were huge, heavy, and unwieldy. We didn’t need a bigger ballroom, we
needed smaller chairs! So I had them replaced with high-end, smaller
chairs. I then had our people sell the old chairs and got more money for
them than the cost of the new chairs. In the end, the ballroom went from
seating 200 people to seating 320 people. Our visitors got the space they
desired, and I spared everyone the hassle of years of construction and $5
million of expense. It’s amazing what you can accomplish with a little
common sense.”
On top of his saving years of construction and $5 million in expenses, he
also was able to keep the ballroom open for business during the time it
would have been under remodeling, which allowed him to continue to make
money on the space instead of losing that revenue during construction time.
Donald Trump’s entire life has been made up of success and winning. He’s
been accused of bankruptcies, but that’s not true. He’s never filed
personal bankruptcy. He’s bought companies and legally used bankruptcy laws
to restructure their debt, just as businesses do all the time. But he’s
never been bankrupt personally. He’s a fighter that clearly loves America
and would fight for our nation. Earlier, I quoted Trump saying, “I love
America. And when you love something, you protect it passionately –
fiercely, even.” We never hear that from Democrats or even from most
Republicans. Donald Trump is saying things that desperately need to be said
but no other candidate has shown the fortitude to stand up and say them.
Looking over this list of what he wants for America I see a very necessary
set of goals that are long past due. Before we criticize someone because
the media does, maybe we should seriously consider what he has to offer.
Don't know if it will happen or not ... but putting someone that has the business
sense and COMMON SENSE that Donald Trump HAS ... would make a
POSITIVE DIFFERENCE in the atmosphere and Attitude of this country
and it is EXACTLY WHAT AMERICA NEEDS to make us Great AGAIN
Don't You Think?
Blessings !

A PERSONAL COMMENT:
Robert Ringer is a motivational speaker with a national following, and has authored several best-selling self-help books – both ventures has allowed him to combine philosophy, reality, and critical thinking in a unique style that challenges those who dare to read or listen to what he shares. It is the critical thinking and reality dimensions Mr. Ringer presents that attracts me most; both of which are quickly going out of style, no longer taught in schools, much less communities of higher learning like universities. Mr. Ringer’s commentary below will not disappoint those who still value critical thinking as well as choose to live in reality; rather than obtain their thoughts through social media and associated venues, sipping their latté and regurgitating opinions from their peers spewing “original thought” from social media. Constructive criticism should not be mean-spirited. Constructive criticism might sting, but should always cause the recipients to confront themselves and take an inventory so improvement can be celebrated later. I pray this is the case with Mr. Ringer’s comments. ~ LJR
Beloved Robert Ringer writes ...
Megyn Kelly, Queen of Narcissism, Gets
a Pass
Megyn Kelly is razor sharp,
impeccably prepared, relentless, tough, verbally skilled,
and, to boot, a pretty good looker. She’s also an
egomaniacal smart-aleck who seems intent on following Glenn
Beck down the path to mediocre celebrity status.When Kelly is on her game and acts like a broadcast professional, there’s no one better. She’s at her best when she’s going after radical–left liars like Baltimore prosecutor Marilyn Mosby, Planned Parenthood’s criminal elite, and just about everyone who perpetuated the “Hands up, don’t shoot” lie.
But she’s at her absolute worst when her cranial inflammatory condition — Beckitis — flares up and “I,” “me,” “my” come rolling off her tongue in nonstop fashion. Well … come to think of it … she’s at her very worst when she’s interviewing her “hunk” of a house-husband and artificially boosting one of his novels into a New York Times bestseller. I think George and Ira Gershwin had him in mind when they wrote “Nice work if you can get it.”
Borrowing from her ex-husband’s comments about his marriage to Kelly, her current spouse appears to be the wife she’s always wanted. As her ex (Dr. Dan Kendall) put it, “We both needed someone to cook and clean.”
But let’s not get personal here. I have no dog in this fight — I’ve never even met Donald Trump — but starting what is supposed to be a serious debate about serious issues by asking a flagrantly loaded question aimed at one participant — under the dishonest guise of its being for all the participants — is a perfect example of why people dislike the media almost as much as they do politicians.
But for me, Kelly’s loaded question was almost secondary. I was already annoyed by her giddy, self-absorbed blather long before the candidates came out of their bunkers to do battle.
I felt like I wanted one of her colleagues to grab her by the arm and tell her to calm down and act like she’s been in the end zone before. When she showed a video of what she was doing just before the debate (It sounded like a bunch of childish gibberish, so I didn’t really even understand what she was talking about.), it was clear that she was going to seize her moment in the spotlight to focus on her main love: Megyn Kelly.
It reminded me of her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s show some time ago when she made a complete ass of herself — giddy off the charts — talking about her experiences at the White House Christmas party and how awkward she felt meeting the Obamas. (No, I don’t watch Jimmy Kimmel, but — as you would guess — she actually played the video on her show. It’s fortunate for her ego that the universe is expanding.)
But back to the debate. After Trump told her, “You’re not doing a very good job,” Kelly looked like an embarrassed little girl who had been slapped on the wrist, immediately frowned and looked down, and remained stone silent for a few glorious moments. With all her smarts, I found myself wondering why she would think she could get away with taking a swipe at the toughest street fighter on the planet.
In any event, whatever else one might think of Donald Trump, he was right on when he told Kelly that she wasn’t doing a very good job — because she wasn’t. As to the blood comments, that whole brouhaha is so stupid that it’s not worth discussing.
Now, let me answer my own question as to why Kelly thought she could get away with taking a swipe at Donald Trump: It’s because she has the ultimate Teflon shield around her — Brit Hume and his wife, Bill O’Reilly, and, most important of all, Roger Ailes. Ailes quickly went on the record by saying that Kelly “is a brilliant journalist and I support her 100 percent.”
Big mistake, Roger. It’s like rewarding a spoiled, pampered child. So it was no surprise when Kelly began her Monday broadcast by saying, “You may have heard there was a dustup involving yours truly and presidential contender Donald Trump.”
She then self-righteously said that she had decided not to respond to Trump’s remarks (even though she was responding to them as she spoke!), adding that he has declined to apologize and “I certainly will not apologize for doing good journalism.” Talk about a self-serving comment — her journalism was terrible!
It was analogous to Lois Lerner’s proclaiming to Congress that she had done nothing wrong, then taking the Fifth Amendment. It’s a cute trick, and both she and Kelly got away with it.
Plain and simple, Kelly’s problem is that she violates — with impunity — a cardinal rule of television broadcasting: Never make yourself part of the story — and certainly not the story. From the time she showed those pre-debate clips about herself until The Donald smacked her down, it felt like she was screaming at viewers, “Look at me! Look at me! Aren’t I great?” She may be pretty, but she’s pretty nauseating as well.
While the powers that be at Fox can coddle and protect Kelly from losing her job, they can’t force the public to continue to watch her. I’ve been around long enough to know that the one ironclad rule of life is that things change, so the Queen of Narcissism would do well to look over her shoulder.
As always, Fox has a bevy of talented beauties in the pipeline. It’s kind of like Ohio State football, where if your Heisman Trophy candidate quarterback goes down, you just pull another one off the bench who’s just as good or better.
It really is true that every twenty-four hours the world turns over and somebody else is on top. It’s surprising that her mentor, Brit Hume, who became a legend by playing things straight down the journalistic middle (never injecting himself into the story), would not take the time to explain the rules to her.
With all this in mind, my conclusion is that the big winner is Kelly’s ex, Dr. Dan Kendall. Every time she goes on another self-worshiping rant, you’ve got to believe he’s thinking, “But for the grace of God …”
