Greetings

Following is an article that was forwarded to me which offers an interesting perspective on repentance relative to the impact of sin on our lives on earth.

Warm regards and blessings

Oh yea! about the gospel, (good news )

Yahoshua's message about salvation is that you can be forgiven for your error which decreases your energy or ability to function (which is death) and be restored to life(resurrected) if you confess your error and repent!!!!!!!!

Seems that our error is cummulative and we carry it around with us (heavy laden) it causes us to feel guilty and unhappy.

Instead of repenting, we try to find ways to make ourselves feel better about what we have done which is also sin.

It's like a trap that we fall into.

We have to face our sin and repent so that we will be without guilt.

We have error because we have believed a lie.

When we discover the source of our error we can begin to think correctly again (correct the mistake).

Because our hearts are deceitfull , this is almost imposible to accomplish alone.

If we try to do it alone we usually get worse instead of better.

Yahoshua's goal was to improve the condition of men or to increase their life potential.

This is quite different from what the "Sunday churches teach.

They want you to believe that if you "go to church", someday you go floating off through the air dressed in your best Sunday suit headed straight for Heaven.

This is pretty much the fairy tale that most people grow up with.

It's really a trick of the devil to get you to wait around and do nothing until it's too late.
