No, I'm not a Christian because I "repent". I'm a Christian because I believe that Jesus Christ died for my sins and rose again, and I'm born again because of that faith, not repentance.

Furthermore, what you define as "sin", another may not. The book of Romans is very clear on this. Matters of personal freedom and liberty aren't yours to dissect.

What I meant by "blind repentance" is that you're advocating repentance over the blood of Jesus shed for the FINAL payment for sins. It is over, now, because of His blood, not by any repentance of mine.

Nevertheless, this is a thread and story about Halloween, not Christian theology, so if you want to continue this, let's take it to personal mail...

Who are you to tell me what is mine to dissect?

Are you saying that since He paid for your sins, you are insured and need NOT to be worried about committing them? The sacrifice of Christ needs to be accepted, and this acceptance has to be maintained or renewed. If you think that you OWN salvation, call impure things good and say that you do not need to repent again and again you REJECT Christ. To understand it is not blindness.
