Finally...I wanted to repent after I did my taxes. Is that cool?

Sure...Just so long as it's "later" and not "now".

Can someone let me know when I'm due to die so that I can repent 5 minutes before. Thanks

REPENT NOW - there may be no later!!!!!!

WHAT IF you were suddenly to drop dead RIGHT NOW?
WHAT IF a truck suddenly swerved out of control and squashed you on the way to work?
WHAT IF God decided to end the world at THIS INSTANT?

Is that a chance you want to take? Remember, we are talking about an eternity of torment here!!!!! Imagine you are in HELL, and demons are sinking their needle-sharp teeth into your genitalia and shoving big red-hot pokers into all of your orifices, and that this is going to last FOREVER!!!! And imagine knowing that if you had just repented, you could have instead been in Heaven with Him for Eternity.

Think about it, please.

Remember:
Luke 21:34-36 "Be on guard, that your heart may not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day come on you suddenly like a trap; for it will come upon the face of the earth. But keep on the alert at all times, praying in order that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man."

Matthew 24:42 "Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming."

Matthew 24:44 "For the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.

Matthew 24:36 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone."

Matthew 25:13 "Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour."

REPENT NOW! and have a nice day🙂

Sweet, I'm just going to have a quick nap first. I should be able to avoid all swerving trucks in my bed. And if the big fella decides to end the world THIS INSTANT, then at least we can enjoy the hot pokers in hell together.

Did no one tell him that continual repetition does nothing for the quality of ones prose?

I should proclaim my interest in this thread, for, according to Dante, sitting in the shade of a large boulder, with arms wrapped around knees and head lowered, Belacqua epitomizes the lazy spirits who waited until the last minute before repenting and turning to God. Shall be condemned to wait in Ante-Purgatory for as long as I have negligently delayed my repentance on earth: that is, the length of my mortal life. That said, am in no rush to begin the arduous climb up the mountain.

People who call on others to repent always forget one thing: they forget to say how to repent. How does one go about it? Do I just decide to repent and it all goes from there? Is there something else that needs to be done? Is it the kind of thing one can choose to do, or does one have to be spontaneously moved to repent? If the latter, then there would seem to be no point in calling on people to repent.

I'm gonna use the "death row" method. I'll wait until just near the end of my life, find God, confess my sins before the world, accept Jesus Christ as my savior and then get a free ride into heaven. And I won't have to make all of those sacrifices for a whole lifetime like those Christian suckers do. Nope, just a few months, maybe a year or so or having the faith, and then I'm on the heaven express.

Well since it seems I have no chance even if I do repent I'm boycotting repenting altogether.

dfm has a good point though, just how does one repent? Perhaps if I leave a clause in my will "I hereby leave my soul to Jesus Christ". Then I simply won't have to worry about it, not even at the last minute, it's all taken care of.

How quaint. I value advice on how to live my life from people who don't know me.

Will the demons be half-men half-fish creatures with pointy sticks? I rather hope so
