Sin and repent; sin and repent; sin and repent ...
Donna Kupp
The first word of the gospel that Jesus and the apostles preached
was "Repent.". Unfortunately, most of modern Christianity has
departed from the truth of Jesus and the apostles when they say that
we can sin and repent; sin and repent; sin and repent --because God
will always forgive our sins; past, present and future.
Repent does not mean to simply say "I am sorry". Rather it means
to cease from willful sin altogether. True repentence is to choose to
cease from sin completely and forever (knowing that one cannot
possibly do so apart from the Spirit of God).
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of
you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye
shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." Acts 2:38
In that verse the word "repent" is from the Greek metanoeo
rendered as an aorist Imperative which means: "a command for
doing something in the future that is a simple action. This is
contrasted with the present imperative, which involves a command
for continuous or repetitive action."
Peter was saying that they should repent (once and for all) not
continuously repent and sin and repent and sin and repent etc....
What he said was:
Repent and....you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."
First the full repentence and then the Holy Spirit.
"And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy
Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him." Acts 5:32
Obviously it cannot also be true that God has given the Holy Spirit
to those who disobey Him... (People who have spiritual gifts and
disobey God do not have the indwelling Holy Spirit and are not
born again.)
Many Christians have never made that full repentence because they
have been told that they can never really cease from sin. Therefore,
they are told, if they sin "occasionally" but do not have a "lifestyle
of sin" (whatever that means?) they will still inherit eternal life.
Nothing could be further from the truth!
"Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin" 1John 3:9
Now, let the scriptures correct the deception that God will always
forgive our willful sins: past, present and future.
When we have faith in The Father and His Son Jesus Christ and
have truly repented, our past sins are forgiven:
" Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his
blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are
past, through the forbearance of God;" Rom 3:25
When we are converted all past sins are forgiven. After a person is
born-again, only sins of ignorance are forgiven. If a person sins
with knowledge and intent after that time, they have blasphemed
the Holy Spirit and there is no more sacrifice for sin. See Hebrews
6:1-8; Hebrews 10:26-31.
Jesus gave us no options; we must surrender this lifetime to Him,
no matter what it may cost! The first act of our surrender is to obey
God's law, just as Jesus said:
"... but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."
Matthew 19:17 KJV

The Seven Deadly Deceptions Of Counterfeit Christianity
http://www.freetruth.info

we're saved by keeping the 10 commandments--especially the sabbath--and
denies essential after essential of the Christian faith. She flat out
denies the doctrine of salvation by faith alone, and labels it a
doctrine
of Satan:
"The strategy of Satan in the modern church has been to make people
believe that they have eternal life the moment they accept Jesus as
their personal Savior."
* * *
Also from her heretical web site:
"No matter how big the church, no matter how many scriptures
they use to prove their doctrine, look for the red flag. If they
have set aside even a part of God's law, they have turned away
from the truth. By the way, the Sabbath is the fourth
commandment. To deny it is to deny the God that has declared
the seventh day to be holy. The Epistle of James teaches that
there is one law with ten parts. If you refuse to obey any part of
it, you are refusing the authority of the lawgiver"
If you were the Judge in the case of the CHURCHMEN VERSUS
THE SABBATH, would you be willing to say that Paul had cancelled
one of the commandments of God based on the evidence you find in
the 14th chapter of Romans?
In our opinion, the evidence from Romans and Zechariah
demands a verdict for Sabbath observance. The church must obey
the Fourth Commandment - that is the only decision that will
uphold the Law of God.
* * *
Donna has also written:
The sabbath commandment makes a distinction between The Creator of the
heavens and the earth and all the gods of the heathen. If you decide
to observe the seventh day sabbath you will be testifying to the world
(including your boss) that you do not believe in evolution; but have
faith in the Creator of the universe to provide for your needs.
Our faith must be tested and approved before we receive the crown of
life.
* * *
Donna has also written:
"...For I the LORD your God am a jealous God ...showing
steadfast love to thousands of those who love Me and KEEP MY
COMMANDMENTS." (Exodus 20:5-6, (2nd commandment)
According to those verses, all who are not keeping the Ten
Commandments of God can be certain that God does not love them.
(Anything contrary is a lie.)"
* * *
Donna also teaches the doctrine of Entire Sanctification, denies that
she ever commits sin, and proclaims that: ONE WILLFUL SIN is blasphemy
of the Holy Spirit, and AN UNFORGIVABLE SIN. As her site reads about the
Unforgivable Sin:
"If one who is born of God has truly repented of committing sin
(chosen to cease from sin) and then deliberately commits sin he has
despised the Holy Spirit, just as the OT the Israelites despised the Law
of God. It is blasphemy!"
* * *
She and her husband have also rewritten the Gospel of John in order to
DENY CHRIST'S DEITY in its very opening verse:
"In the beginning was Jesus
>
> and Jesus was with THE RULER,
>
> and Jesus was Ruler.
>
> The same was in the beginning with THE RULER."
>John was teaching that Jesus was our Ruler (our theos) and that
>Jesus was with the Father from the very beginning of creation.
>(Not that Jesus was one third of some mysterious and mind-
>boggling "Trinity" that no one had ever heard of.)
* * *
Conclusion: This woman is the worst sort of cultist, denying everything
from the deity of Christ, to the doctrine of salvation by grace through
faith. She uses the words "Brothers and sisters" in her posts, seeking
to slither her way into the fold, representing herself as a part of the
body of Christ. But the truth is, her gospel comes from the mouth of
Satan himself. Point by point, she leads people away from salvation and
into deception and damnation.
As John says, THIS is how we are to treat someone like her who teaches
these heresies:
Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath
not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the
Father and the Son.
If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not
into your house, neither bid him God speed:
For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

" Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth,
that shall he also reap.
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption;
but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life
everlasting.
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall
reap, if we faint not.
As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men,
especially unto them who are of the household of faith." Galatians
6:7-10

No, actually, YOU have departed from the truth...
Mt 18:21-22 [et al]
Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin
against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until
seventy times seven.

hmmmm....sin and repent - then repeat - sounds like directions off of
a cheap bottle of shampoo.

No, it is the directions for cheap grace --but neither of them work.

Isa 55:1-2
Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no
money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and
without price.
Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour
for that which satisfieth not?
Hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your
soul delight itself in fatness.
Yep. It's very "cheap."

Donna writes:
In context, The following is the invitation to seek God with
repentance:
Isaiah 55:6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye
upon
him while he is near:
Isaiah 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous
man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will
have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly
pardon.
Do you really think that Isaiah contradicts Ezekiel?
Ezekiel 18:21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he
hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is
lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
There is no mercy or pardon for the wicked who do not forsake
their unrighteous ways and thoughts. It is "cheap grace" that
presents a gospel void of complete repentance and this discipleship
that Jesus requires to follow him:
Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and
mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and
his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
Luke 14:27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after
me, cannot be my disciple.
Luke 14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not
down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to
finish it?
Jesus told people up-front to count the cost of following him. He
will not accept double-minded people in His Kingdom.

Next time, try posting something relevant to the subject.
Jesus taught the Gospel of Grace which overcomes the law and saves us.
You teach the gospel of the Pharisaical legalists which KILLS us.
