False. Repentence is the only solution to the problem.
I presume you were not serious with this comment, but in case you were ...
Repentance is the Only solution. By nature we are sinners heading in the wrong direction (straight to hell). The only solution is repentence. Turn or burn.
As Peter cries out in Acts to those asking what they must do to have their sins blotted out and to be delivered from the coming Judgement: 'Repent ye therefore and be converted!'
And as the Lord Jesus Christ said in Matthew 9:13b: '... for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. '
And as Peter reminds us - God is merciful and patient, not willing that people should go to eternal damnation - but the people need to repent: 2Peter 3:9 'The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.'
So Repentance is the first, and necessary, step...
