Remorse/gulit some say is not the same
as repentance... ie; one can acknowledge
ones wrong doing, but have you sincerely
committed to changed your ways?

You see nothing can be simple/straighforward
for christians , coz there are those that need to
put some twisted arcane word wizardry def.
to millenia old ordinary everyday things...coz
apparently God puts special meaning on them
just for christians to decifer!
