Come on, RB. In accordance with your secret decoder ring theories, your born-again status has transformed your mind into a bottomless well of propositional truths that are otherwise not accessible to stinky heathens such as myself. I am a thirsty man, and you have a bottomless well. So, what about the fruit?

But right now, everything is pented, and I cannot pent it anymore than it is already pented. One instance of penting should be enough, along with a certain personal vigilance in regards to abstaining from the act of unpenting.

Originally posted by LemonJelloOh, if you have already pented, you only need to repent. I can see how repenting might sound superfluous, but only penting and repenting will tune your hearing to the whole range of frequencies utilised by the Faith Whale Song. If you only pent, you may hear some of the frequencies, but they will not make sense to you.

Originally posted by NordlysHe does bring up a good theological point though- If one has pented, then must one unpent before repenting? Or should one at least brush on a coat of primer and then repent rather than unpenting the whole thing?

Originally posted by Moldy CrowNo, you don't have to unpent before you can repent. You mention a coat of primer. That's a good analogy. Penting is like putting on a coat of primer, repenting is like putting the second layer on. If you unpent after you pent, you'll have to start all over again.

Having a relationship with God is of Joy.
There is a BIG difference between Joy and being happy.
Money and movies and music and the list goes on only brings short term happiness, when if you have Jesus he is eternal joy.
this is being arranged!
Originally posted by NordlysOk - suppose I have already pented, but somewhere along the line my license was revoked and I am no longer permitted any more penting. Does this mean I can never fully hear the secret message?
No, you don't have to unpent before you can repent. You mention a coat of primer. That's a good analogy. Penting is like putting on a coat of primer, repenting is like putting the second layer on. If you unpent after you pent, you'll have to start all over again.
