How could repentance be sincere if you have preplanned the event in the first place banking on forgiveness? The proposition doesn’t make sense.
If your child planned to cut off the arms and legs of your favourite suit hoping that telling you that they are sorry and didn’t mean too will get them out of trouble, are you seriously going to buy that?
@avalanchethecat said1 that means I reject the proposition as none sense
1) How do you know it doesn't work?
2) Does being a 'serious' christian mean that you are not allowed a sense of humour?
3) Your DM must be soft in the head.
2 we aren’t discussing a sense of humour. You kill somebody then say you are sorry and was really a joke ? This is t a serious question
3 no They want to keep the game going and as it’s fantasy allow this to continue , cause a few laughs and move on to the next encounter.

-Removed-No sir, I am distinguishing between the difference between intentional sin, and intentional sin with a preplanned get out strategy hoping that the person that you have sinned against will forgive you on the basis of grovelling.
Repentance is about true sorrow. You kill somebody in a fight because you loose it in the moment and then repent, I’m sure it must have happened. It’s whole different ballgame to planning to kill somebody and then saying that you are sorry after the deed to get yourself off of the hook.
@medullah saidSo is it your view that the Christian God is unable to forgive "sins" even when there is true sorrow and sincere repentance on the part of the "sinner"?
@avalanchethecat
If your a serious Christian to deliberately commit a serious act with the intent of asking for forgiveness would indicate that you weren't that serious or genuine in your beliefs.
@medullah said(1) So you don't 'know' that it doesn't work, it just doesn't accord with the way you would like these things to work. I see.

(2) The OP was clearly designed with humourous intent, as was my response. Perhaps you should start a new thread for your 'serious' question.
(3) How very enigmatic of you to play your D&D for laughs but completely miss the humour here. What jolly japes you must have.
@ogb saidHmm... does it actually say that in the bible though?
right, but the bad part is you have to give the money back.

@ogb saidThe Christianity of Earth could be considered a fourth cerebral lobe, i.e., as a way to get out outside of things in a generally beneficial way, even if those things seem to be going wrong in a social or physical way.
if you are a good christian and need help, God could secretly tell you the winning Lotto numbers, so then everything would be OK.
I imagine many poets and musicians wonder about the Christian phenomenon of Earth, in the context of their other considerations of creation and syncronicities in general.
I'm not a promoter or evangelist of any stripe.
From a cat's perspective, human verbiage probably seems like competitive meowing, but what is it really about, and to what effect?
