"To repent means to turn." You write: 'to "repent" simply means to seek God's face and to desire the expression of that face.' I've never heard of that as a "simple" or basic definition of repent. Nor can I find anything in any Bible dictionary or lexicon that even remotely resembles your definition of the word repent. Repentance 'To repent means to turn. In the NT repentance means to turn from sin. We were called by God to turn from sin.' (http://www.carm.org/dictionary/dic_p-r.htm#_1_146) 'REPENTANCE 'A feeling of regret, a changing of the mind, or a turning from sin to God.' (Holman Bible Dictionary http://studylight.org/dic/hbd/) REPENTANCE 'A change of mind, accompanied with regret and sorrow for something done. ...The true gospel repentance, or "repentance unto life," is sorrow for sin, grief for having committed it, and a turning away from it with abhorrence, accompanied with sincere endeavors, in reliance on God’s grace and the influences of the Holy Spirit, to live in humble and holy obedience to the commands and will of God. This is that repentance which always accompanies true faith, and to which is promised the free forgiveness of sin through the merits of Jesus Christ (Matthew 4:17; Acts 3:19; Acts 11:18; Acts 20:12).' (American Tract Society Bible Dictionary (1859) http://studylight.org/dic/ats) |

your quoting outdated sources. i care less what they had to say about repentance in 1859 - i live in 2004 (going to 2005) and i find that the new understandings of the words have more meaning - evangelical and modern sources have no value to me - i see them as skewd and outdated. | ||||||

Bulletin! Hey, genius, the Greek word translated repent means the same thing now as it did in 1859 as it did in 59 A.D. Your argument is just plain stupid. |
