I enjoyed your post Pete
but - I don't agree with one thing stated
"because if he cant see in he can't tell if your TRULLY repentant"
I believe that God does know the hearts of all
Luke 16:15 ►
He said to them, "You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of others, but (God knows your hearts.) What people value highly is detestable in God's sight.
I appreciate what you said regarding Repentance
a most important message
that many leave out from the Gospel these days
