Amonhi, your thoughts are interesting, if not enlightening. However, I have a problem with this statement.
Quote:In the end, there is a "Final Repentance" after which no further repentance is required nor will it do you any good. At this point, the law has been fulfilled and you are no longer under the law.
I thought that repentance was an eternal principle, at least for this life and until we are so perfect we do not break the laws of God. But Then you say, you can't break the laws of God anymore because they have been removed and no longer apply to you because you are able to govern yourself by correct principles instead of being governed by laws and punishments.
But, Dragon was saying there are "natural laws" (Consequences) that Govern even God. You say natural consequences don't govern God, but God takes action knowing the natural consequences to achieve his desires. Sounds like a cause & effect rather than laws and punishments.)
So then you say we get to a point where we are no longer under the law and so without a law to break we have no sin and need no repentance. But even God repents and corrects any bad actions as God grows and learns. Isn't that repentance? Just because I have my C&E doesn't mean I don't accidentally hurt others or fail to be the best person I am striving to be. How does that mean I don't need a law or to repent??
