  • Andy G van den Berg on Acts 17 - 4 years ago
    On ACTS 17:30.

    The Word of God is God ( John 1:1) and is not of any private interpretation ( 2 Peter 1:20).

    The word 'Repent' in different forms (repent, repentance, repented, repentest, repenteth, repenting, repentings) is mentioned 110 times in the KJV, and means a lot more than what people by nature have been conditioned to believe. The word 'repent' used in the New Testament was translated from the Greek word "metanoeo", and means to change, transform, to think differently or reconsider.

    It is the key principle of all the teachings of Jesus Christ and the axiom (basis) of the Word of God and a prerequisite and primary requirement for the salvation of mankind. It actually means the changing of spirits - to turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God ( Acts 26:18).

    For a better understanding and the 'spiritual truth' of what it means to repent, and learn how and by whom mankind has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9) and what people must do to be reunited with the true and living God, we invite you to seek Him according to the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive ( Matthew 7:7; John 14:17).

    You need not that any man teach you ( Isaiah 54:13; 6:45; 1 John 2:27), as mankind follows after an image of a false god and a false Christ ( Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22; Gal. 4:8; 2 Cor. 11:13-15; Rev. 12:9).

    It is only by revelation of God that people will come to know the true Christ ( Daniel 12:4,9; Amos 3:7; Matthew 16:17; Luke 2:26; Romans 16:25; 1 Cor. 2:10; Gal. 1:16; Eph. 3:3,5; Rev. 1:1), and only then will you be able to overcome the spirit of this world ( 1 John 5:4; Rev. 3:21) and learn what 'True Repentance' means, and how this whole world has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9). It should also be remembered that it is a narrow way that leadeth unto 'Life', and few there be that find it ( Matthew 7:14).

    LUKE 15:10. LIKEWISE, I SAY UNTO YOU, THERE IS JOY IN THE PRESENCE OF THE ANGELS OF GOD OVER ONE SINNER THAT REPENTETH

    Very well said and that is the Word. It's easy to take a few scriptures and make them say what someone wants to hear.
  • Carleton - In Reply on Acts 17 - 4 years ago
    Please do not underestimate how the Living God in Jesus Christ by His Holy Spirit can speak to his believer in any scripture or even one word. As one limits this possibility one is heading for a private interpretation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and heading towards self justification in one's own righteousness. God can speak an entire message to one's heart on an ant's work if he chooses.

    By nature mankind is born in sin and separated from God. As such mankind is not able to understand the Word of God as the Word is God ( John 1:!). This is the very reason why mankind relies on interpreting the Word of God while it is not of any private interpretations ( 2 Peter 1:20).

    It is only through 'True Repentance' that mankind is able to be reunited with God and it is only through 'True Repentance' that God will be able to reveal Himself, and adopt you as His sons and daughters ( Rom. 8:15,23; 2 Cor.6:18; Gal. 4:5; Eph. 1:5; Hebr. 12:5; 1 John 3:1).

    The word 'Repent' in different forms (repent, repentance, repented, repentest, repenteth, repenting, repentings) is mentioned 110 times in the KJV, and means a lot more than what people by nature have been conditioned to believe.

    Hello again Andy and friends, The Lord just now has reminded me that my brethren near and far are lambs and that I should be more like them.

    Sincerely, Carleton
  • Andy G van den Berg - In Reply on Acts 17 - 4 years ago
    Carleton,

    It is referred to as self-righteousness ( Romans 10:3) and the unbelievers are referred to as 'goats' ( Matthew 25:32).
  • Carleton - In Reply on Acts 17 - 4 years ago
    Ok Andy and friends. I for now am happy to be your goat.

    :)
  • Andy G van den Berg - In Reply on Acts 17 - 4 years ago
    Our message is according to the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive ( John 14:17). Please note the word 'cannot'.

    We also invite you to read Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:21,22; 2 Cor. 11:13-15; Gal, 4:8 and Revelation 12:9.

    Seek, and ye shall find ( Matthew 7:7).
  • Carleton - In Reply on Acts 17 - 4 years ago
    Hi Andy and friends, I gave my repentant experience in detail on this website on July 23 of this year. What is your point?

    Carleton
  • Andy G van den Berg - In Reply on Acts 17 - 4 years ago
    Carleton,

    You can learn more how the people of this world been deceived by Googling my name. We understand you are in Nevada. Well we are a few hours difference as we reside in Nova Scotia.

    In the meantime our message remains the same: Ye must Repent and turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God ( Acts 26:18). It means a lot more than saying 'You are Sorry'.
