Now I'll go along as long as you answer my questions first. I will not give an answer to you when I've already asked a question. It is impolite to ask more questions of me when you have not answered mine.

Are you of the belief that repentance has nothing to do with stopping sin?

Ok, let's use your definition. But first why do you suppose so many English translations use the word repent instead of regret? Do you think these Greek Scholars are all wrong in our English bibles? Also where did you learn your interpretation of the parable of the two sons? What church...

Well I know when one is a sinner and they change, start obeying God by doing His commandments as the first son did that is a person who... A) has an in penitent heart? Or B) has an penitent heart?

I 100% disagree with your interpretation of Jesus' parable of the two sons.

So, the first son did not change his mind? You demanded that and you gave the Greek, changing the mind was repentance. Explain how the first son clearly changed his mind but did not repent of the rebellion against his father(God)? Matthew 21:29, - he answered and said I will not but later he...

Are you familiar with worldly sorrow? Heres an example, A thief made his money through I'll gotten gain. He got old and never was caught. But one night he thought to himself I don't want to go to prison if I get caught. So he changed his mind and quit stealing. Greek word for repentance means...

I dont believe it's an assumption as Jesus is using the two to teach on repentance. They would both need to change their mind. If the second did not change his mind, why did Jesus include two sons in His parable? He could have taught only about one son. I believe it's an assumption to say the...

In the parable of the two sons God is the father. Jesus would be representative of the father not the son in this parable. But yes Jesus was always the obedient Son. Thank God He was and will always be if not we would all be without hope.

Yes!!! Totally agree. I could get physically sick therefore hindered from going to get bread. But you also are right that I could have changed my mind. Now looking at the context of the two sons, we need to ask ourselves why did Jesus use two sons as examples? Why not just use one son? The...

The Prodigal son, amazing wisdom of Jesus in that story. The older brother was very jealous of all the attention the younger got when he repented. His heart was not right towards his brother. Instead he should have been filled with joy for his brothers repentance, return to God.

If I say I'm going to buy bread but later don't go. Did I change my mind?

Thanks for reading my post Bob and commenting. I dont believe we have met so Hello!

Let's read it together again, Matthew 21:30, - and he came to the second and said likewise, And the second son answered and said, I go Sir, and went not The second son first said I will go work but then did not go. Did he change his mind?

I agree, that can be worldly sorrow. Biblical obedience is when the first son went and worked by obeying his fathers commandments. By his actions we know the first son had godly sorrow.

Good, it teaches us repentance includes obedience. Did both sons change their minds?

I apologize for referring to you as Sir. It was not intentional.

Before you tell others they are wrong. You need to first learn the Bible verses that are under discussion. You don't think Jesus is teaching on repentance in Matthew 21? Are you serious? What is repentance by your reasoning. Where did you learn this interpretation from? Please link a church...

Because they were in the same boat as the second son. They also did not obey Gods commandments. They gave the correct answer and Jesus was showing them they knew they were gulity condemning themselves. Jesus got them to condemn themselves by giving the correct answer.
