What is repentance? Repentance is understanding where we fall short of God’s expectations as they are revealed in the Bible and by God’s grace changing our mind, our heart and our actions to be more in line with God’s will. Repentance is making a complete break with sin (a “180”), and it it’s place, now the pursuit of righteousness. There is an ongoing repentance that all Christians do. That’s what it means to grow in Christlikeness. And there is a general repentance we do when we initially come to Christ as we turn from self and devote ourselves entirely to the lordship of Jesus Christ.

Mormonism: Other Plagiarisms

    Book of Mormon Bible
    3 Nephi 11: 27,36 I John 5:7
    Most scholars believe this text to be an interpolation missing from manuscript, but present in KJV from which Joseph Smith copied.
    Book of Mormon Bible
    3 Nephi 11: 33-34 Mark 16:16
    Most scholars believe to be an addition by an overzealous scribe. Again, Joseph Smith copied it, unknowingly.
    Book of Mormon Bible
    3 Nephi Acts3: 12 -26
    This text is Peter’s sermon that paraphrases Deuteronomy 18: 15 – 19. Joseph Smith says that Jesus credits Moses for this text prior to the time that Peter actually delivered the message.
