Excerpt of book written by Bridget Loper
to listen to truth. Well if I keep the same logic and it works to get the answers I want (not necessarily the truth keep in mind) do I need metanoia. Once you realize you need to turn away from your true intention of looking for only the answers you want you will need metanoia. Looking for only the truth through no or little logic shows that you are encompassing a path that will bring you answers based on truth. Why don't we do this?  This is because you have not left the path of lies to follow truth. This meaning that only when you are truly sorry for something you will give yourself enough power to turn away from this sin or any others. If you don't place your faith in the right thing you will be confused by your beliefs. Belief in the wrong thing is easy to tell because if you look at the reality of your beliefs and compare them to the Bible; you will either contradict it or follow along with God. Beliefs need to be able to work when practice and not veil the true reasons of our repentance.
In regards to repentance, we know that back to the fall of humankind we were not given the choice to change our minds. Knowingly we showed full disobedience to God and enraged him. Idolatry was the number one sin. Idolatry is taking the true God away from the people and placing a false god in His place. Idolatry has nothing to do with the Trinity because even though lesser than the God the Father they themselves believe in God, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and at different times of their



Fire purges and cleanses us from the rest of our sins. Repent and all sins done in ignorance will be forgiven without a judgment, but they will be forgiven through passing through temptation and repentance towards a new life. To know sin is to be convicted by the Holy Spirit and to come to a realization that what we have done is wrong. If done intentionally we will suffer justice. Judgment along with justice is always needed when we do commit another sin intentionally. Then the sin will be forgiven of you because of Jesus' appeal for us to repent of our wrongdoings and our willingness to do so. This happens by the Blood of the Covenant and judgment as seen earlier in Isaiah 4:3-4 ( And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:
When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning).
I think this idea that I will speak of, is that any sin committed afterwards is misrepresented as a way to be able to commit sin again once you get into the Church. The Bible preaches repentance. The Bible teaches us about repentance and remission of sin. These two things are needed in order to be forgiven. Don't let anyone fool you with false doctrine. Remission of sin is a complete absence of sin in the past or present. This is needed after facing judgment and justice for things done.
Ezek 33:13- 15 KJV
When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousness's shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it.
Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turns from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the
statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he s
