For those who believe that repentance of sin is a work, do you believe that the prodigal son worked hard to make repentance of sin?
Repentance is for the saved or unsaved. Even God himself repented. And as I mentioned not all repentance is godly. I don't know much about Steve Anderson other than he does not like "Zionism" (i.e. the State of Israel) at all and he was beaten up by a border patrol agent. -

For those who believe that repentance of sin is a work, do you believe that the prodigal son worked hard to make repentance of sin?
Right I agree that when the prodigal son repented, it was not a work. Luke 15: 17, "When he came to himself" that was a realization of his sin and the consequence of it. He said "I perish with hunger". His thoughts that "I will arise and go to my father and will say unto him, Father I have sinned against heaven and before thee" in verse 18, this is a change of mind. His feelings that he is not worthy in verse 19 is an expression of humility, feeling undeserving. All of these in verse 17 to 19 are just in the mind, his intellect, emotion, and will as he said "I will arise", is not a work b -

For those who believe that repentance of sin is a work, do you believe that the prodigal son worked hard to make repentance of sin?
Works follow repentance. Repentance is a change of mind. Repentance is tied into faith but it's faith in the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ for our sins that saves. A man can repent and still not get saved like as with Judas Iscariot. His was a worldly repentance and his work was hanging himself. He had no faith in his Savior. Anyway, the so-called prodigal son repented when he realized "I perish" and said "I will arise and go to my father...". He didn't say, "After I forsake my sins then I will go to my father". He saw his condition, had a change of mind and went -

How about discussing protestant churches that confuse politics with Christianity?
I'd like to see churches focus on worship & praise of God. We get enough politix in the rest of our lives. -

Did Curtis Hutson teach that Repentance is a work like Steven Anderson?
Not when God causes it by His grace. What do you think is meant by submission to God? Rebellion and pride and self righteousness is work, not submission to God. Submission is the opposite of self work! its letting go and allowing God to have his way. First by submitting to Him in the matter and manor of salvation (by God's grace thru faith in Christ, not of our own way or works of righteousness) and then in the matter of daily cleansing from sin through submitting to the Spirit of His Word. Romans 10:1-4 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved -

Submission as a requirement for salvation is works as well! That is Lordship Salvation and is a false gospel! So your definition of repentance is wrong as well my friend. -

The beauty of creation
My Chinese friend Wu Cheng suffered from respiratory problems. Most of the time he could control it through some sort of meditation he developed himself. But there were times when he was in Alaska that it overcame him and I hauled him into the ER where they were able to get the attack to subside. Unfortunately when his Visa ran out and he had to return to Beijing the smog there was his undoing. Within two weeks of his return he was found dead in his apartment by one of his students. I still, after twenty years feel his loss very deeply, while at the same time rejoicing that in the time I- 3

The beauty of creation
Smog is an unfortunate side effect of most large cities. I am beyond thankful that I live in a smaller sized city and for the most part the air is clean and I can see the stars at night. Once in awhile we have visitors from the larger cities on the other side of the island and one thing they always comment on, is that they can see the stars at night. Unfortunately I don't have a camera that can take night time or starry night pictures, so here's a photo of the beautiful scenery I get to see when traveling from one city to another, if I choose to drive. If you look closely, you can see th- 2

The Local Church.
Bro. Alan, since this thread has been ongoing for quite some time I thought it may be helpful for those who were not here when this began to link them back to a reply I made early on. If you remember it was the one where I could not post my lesson because of forum formatting messing up my text. You were able to post it in its entirety and the link to it is HERE.- 1
