Repentance & Two Trinities

*Disclaimer; I use the word “trinity” only as a figure of speech in this post; to explain the difference between belonging to the devil vs. belonging to God through faith and repentance. It’s not about God being a “trinity” model that is widely believed as in “three persons,” or “three gods.”

---

Have you ever asked for directions but were given the wrong ones? You thought you found your destination, but it led you elsewhere or nowhere. The time lost brought frustration and disbelief that you trusted your guide or a faulty GPS.

Many people are lost Spiritually, thinking they are heading toward Salvation, but in fact, are on a path that leads to destruction due to the wrong directions. They believe them because of a lack of knowledge, no understanding, naivety, and ignorance.

False teachers of the faith are like faulty GPS. They are full of charm and conviction. It is effortless to listen to them because they relate to sinful human nature, and the Spirit of God is not within them; otherwise, they wouldn't be so charming, and listening to them wouldn't be so pleasant.

Find out if the path you have taken and trust is leading you toward the Light of God, who is your destination. Unlike the directions on street maps, Spiritual misguidance, if not caught on time, will lead you over the cliff, from which there's no coming back, and frustration will last forever.

Psalm 7:10-13

“God is my shield, saving those whose hearts are true and right. God is an honest judge. He is angry with the wicked every day.

IF A PERSON DOES NOT REPENT, God will sharpen his sword; he will bend and string his bow. He will prepare his deadly weapons and shoot his flaming arrows.”

You're on the wrong path if:

• You believe you're absolved of your sins because Jesus Christ died on the cross for you 2000 years ago, and you're good to go, even though you sin.

• You "confessed and repented" and consider future sins to be a "normal thing" that will be forgiven because you "confessed and repented."

• You believe your sins are forgiven after passing away.

• You're giving yourself permission to sin thinking you'll confess later.

• Your plan is to keep on sinning until the last minute or deathbed.

• Your confession only exposes your physical actions.

• You keep repeating your sins.

• You think there are many other ways that lead to God.

• You think God is all-loving and will never punish sinners.

• You think you are a good person that doesn't sin.

• You have never heard of Repentance.

• You don't think Repentance is important.

• You think you'll reincarnate to fix your "karma."

• You think you can "Awaken" while still sinning.

Most churches, preachers, and teachers will make you believe one or more of these lies, and charge you for it!

Matthew 23:13-15

“What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you shut the door of the Kingdom of Heaven in people’s faces. You won’t go in yourselves, and you don’t let others enter either.

“What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you cross land and sea to make one convert, and then you turn that person into twice the child of hell you yourselves are!”

Matthew 6:22-23

“Your eye is like a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is filled with light. But when your eye is unhealthy, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is!"

Most of these "teachers" don't teach about Two Trinities or teach falsehoods about one of them.

Why is it important to learn about them? Because we can only serve One master, God or Satan.

By reflecting on our hearts and actions, it's easier to see where we're at, correct the course and stay on the right path. It's like finding "I'm here" in the directory at the shopping mall.

These Two Trinities represent the TWO CHOICES OF FREE WILL, and we all embody the Trinity of our choice:

Colossians 1:19-23

“For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ, and through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross.

This includes you who were once far away from God. YOU WERE HIS ENEMIES, separated from him by your EVIL THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS.

YET NOW he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, AND YOU ARE HOLY AND BLAMELESS as you stand before him without a single fault.

But you must continue to believe this truth and stand firmly in it. Don’t drift away from the assurance you received when you heard the Good News. The Good News has been preached all over the world, and I, Paul, have been appointed as God’s servant to proclaim it.”

*Reconciliation is only possible through Faith and Genuine Repentance. Believing a story, yet still living in sin is not enough.

James 2:19

“You say you have faith, for you believe that there is one God. Good for you! Even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror.”

By default, we are all born into Unholy Trinity, sinful human nature. We all have Free Will of choice to do nothing = stay sinners OR switch sides and Embody the Holy Trinity.

Our human flesh represents either an Antichrist OR Jesus Christ. There are no in-between or other choices; you cannot represent both!

What is Repentance;

• Turning away from all sin, rejecting sinful human nature, desires, and pleasures of the flesh.

• Rejection of our evil world and service to its ruler, Satan.

• Rejection of idols (false prophets and religions)

• Genuine Remorse and Confession of all sin, physical and spiritual.

• The privilege of having a way to receive eternal Life instead of eternal condemnation; Acts 11:18 “When the others heard this, they stopped objecting and began praising God. They said, “We can see that God has also given the Gentiles the privilege of repenting of their sins and receiving eternal life.”

Hebrews 10:10

"For God’s will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time."

• God sacrificed His Son to reconcile us to Himself. This also calls for sacrifice from us; by turning away from an Unholy lifestyle and replacing it with a Holy lifestyle; through repentance. God will not compromise on loyalty. We are either all in or all out.

• "Once for all time" means that Jesus DIED on the cross and His sacrifice was fulfilled because He was raised to Life in Spirit on the 3rd day. He conquered Death. He did not change his mind to get off the cross, and He did not "survive" the cross. He had to go all the way through it to be able to ascend to Heaven.

• The cross represents sinful nature; it needs to be put to Death. It's a spiritual concept.

If Sin is Repeated;

• There was NO Sacrifice on your part.

• Your confession was not genuine.

• You did not confess Spiritual Sins; hate, envy, jealousy, etc

• Sinful nature is still alive and active.

• You are NOT forgiven.

• You remain in Satan's slavery ("Egypt")

Jesus Christ DID NOT Repent for anyone. By overcoming Death, He only made a way for those who have Faith. He is the Only One who has ever done this, and He is the perfect leader. That's why He always says "Follow me."

• Luke 9:23 “Then he said to the crowd, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross daily, and follow me.”

• By "daily," it means; it's a Lifestyle. The rejection of the world and sin continues even after repentance.

• However, those who truly repent, receive the Holy Spirit, but then choose to go back to their old ways, have no more option for repentance;

• Hebrews 6:4-6 “For it is impossible to bring back to repentance those who were once enlightened—those who have experienced the good things of heaven and shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the power of the age to come—and who then turn away from God. It is impossible to bring such people back to repentance; by rejecting the Son of God, they themselves are nailing him to the cross once again and holding him up to public shame.”

Acts 2:38

"Peter replied, “Each of you MUST REPENT OF YOUR SINS and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. THEN you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."

• Acts 1:8 "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

• John 14:26 "But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you."

HAVING RECEIVED THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE PROOF OF SUCCESSFUL REPENTANCE.

IF GOD HAS NOT CHANGED YOU; YOU'RE STILL LIVING IN DEATH.

Romans 6:23

“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Acts 3:17-23

“Friends, I realize that what you and your leaders did to Jesus was done in ignorance. But God was fulfilling what all the prophets had foretold about the Messiah—that he must suffer these things. Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will again send you Jesus, your appointed Messiah. For he must remain in heaven until the time for the final restoration of all things, as God promised long ago through his holy prophets. Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from among your own people. Listen carefully to everything he tells you.’ Then Moses said, ‘Anyone who will not listen to that Prophet will be completely cut off from God’s people.’

• John 8:24 "That is why I said that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am who I claim to be, you will die in your sins.”

Proverbs 28:13

"People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but IF THEY CONFESS AND TURN FROM THEM, THEY WILL RECEIVE MERCY."

2 Peter 3:9

"The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to REPENT."

Habakkuk 2:2-20

“Then the Lord said to me, “Write my answer plainly on tablets, so that a runner can carry the correct message to others.

This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. IF IT SEEMS SLOW IN COMING, WAIT PATIENTLY, FOR IT WILL SURELY TAKE PLACE. IT WILL NOT BE DELAYED.

“Look at the proud! They trust in themselves, and their lives are crooked. But the righteous will live by their faithfulness to God. Wealth is treacherous, and the arrogant are never at rest. They open their mouths as wide as the grave, and like death, they are never satisfied. In their greed they have gathered up many nations and swallowed many peoples.

“But soon their captives will taunt them. They will mock them, saying, ‘What sorrow awaits you thieves! Now you will get what you deserve! You’ve become rich by extortion, but how much longer can this go on?’ Suddenly, your debtors will take action. They will turn on you and take all you have, while you stand trembling and helpless. Because you have plundered many nations, now all the survivors will plunder you. You committed murder throughout the countryside and filled the towns with violence.

“What sorrow awaits you who build big houses with money gained dishonestly! You believe your wealth will buy security, putting your family’s nest beyond the reach of danger. But by the murders you committed, you have shamed your name and forfeited your lives. The very stones in the walls cry out against you, and the beams in the ceilings echo the complaint.

“What sorrow awaits you who build cities with money gained through murder and corruption! Has not the Lord of Heaven’s Armies promised that the wealth of nations will turn to ashes? They work so hard, but all in vain! For as the waters fill the sea, the earth will be filled with an awareness of the glory of the Lord.

“What sorrow awaits you who make your neighbors drunk! You force your cup on them so you can gloat over their shameful nakedness. But soon it will be your turn to be disgraced. Come, drink and be exposed! Drink from the cup of the Lord’s judgment, and all your glory will be turned to shame. You cut down the forests of Lebanon. Now you will be cut down. You destroyed the wild animals, so now their terror will be yours. You committed murder throughout the countryside and filled the towns with violence.

“What good is an idol carved by man, or a cast image that deceives you? How foolish to trust in your own creation—a god that can’t even talk! What sorrow awaits you who say to wooden idols, ‘Wake up and save us!’ To speechless stone images you say, ‘Rise up and teach us!’ Can an idol tell you what to do? They may be overlaid with gold and silver, but they are lifeless inside. But the Lord is in his holy Temple. Let all the earth be silent before him.”

The Tree of Life vs Dead Branches

Genesis 3:22

"Then the Lord God said, “Look, the human beings have become like us, knowing both good and evil. What if they reach out, take fruit from the tree of life, and eat it? Then they will live forever!”

• Through Repentance; we Return to the Garden of Eden; THE PLACE OF REST; THE DAY OF THE LORD (1000 years reign; learn more here)

Revelation 2:7

“Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches. To everyone who is victorious I will give fruit from THE TREE OF LIFE in the paradise of God."

• Victorious over death by repentance

John 15:1-8

“I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me.

“Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned. But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father.”

Romans 11:16-24

“And since Abraham and the other patriarchs were holy, their descendants will also be holy—just as the entire batch of dough is holy because the portion given as an offering is holy. For IF THE ROOTS OF THE TREE ARE HOLY, THE BRANCHES WILL BE, TOO.

But some of these branches from Abraham’s tree—some of the people of Israel—have been broken off. And you Gentiles, who were branches from a wild olive tree, have been grafted in. So now you also receive the blessing God has promised Abraham and his children, sharing in the rich nourishment from the root of God’s special olive tree. But you must not brag about being grafted in to replace the branches that were broken off. You are just a branch, not the root.

“Well,” you may say, “those branches were broken off to make room for me.” Yes, but remember—those branches were broken off because they didn’t believe in Christ, and you are there because you do believe. So don’t think highly of yourself, but fear what could happen. For if God did not spare the original branches, he won’t spare you either.

Notice how God is both kind and severe. He is severe toward those who disobeyed, but kind to you if you continue to trust in his kindness. But if you stop trusting, you also will be cut off. And if the people of Israel turn from their unbelief, they will be grafted in again, for God has the power to graft them back into the tree. You, by nature, were a branch cut from a wild olive tree. So if God was willing to do something contrary to nature by grafting you into his cultivated tree, he will be far more eager to graft the original branches back into the tree where they belong.”

DEAD BRANCHES

John 8:42-47

“Jesus told them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, because I have come to you from God. I am not here on my own, but he sent me. Why can’t you understand what I am saying? It’s because you can’t even hear me! For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies. So when I tell the truth, you just naturally don’t believe me! Which of you can truthfully accuse me of sin? And since I am telling you the truth, why don’t you believe me? Anyone who belongs to God listens gladly to the words of God. But you don’t listen because you don’t belong to God.”

Malachi 4:1-3

“The Lord of Heaven’s Armies says, “The day of judgment is coming, burning like a furnace. On that day the ARROGANT and the WICKED will be burned up like straw. They will be consumed—ROOTS, BRANCHES, and all.

“But for you who fear my name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture. On the day when I act, you will tread upon the wicked as if they were dust under your feet,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.”

• Matthew 3:10 "Even now the ax of God’s judgment is poised, ready to sever the roots of the trees. Yes, every tree that does not produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into the fire."

Matthew 24:45-51

“A faithful, sensible servant is one to whom the master can give the responsibility of managing his other household servants and feeding them. If the master returns and finds that the servant has done a good job, there will be a reward. I tell you the truth, the master will put that servant in charge of all he owns. But what if the servant is evil and thinks, ‘My master won’t be back for a while,’ and he begins beating the other servants, partying, and getting drunk? The master will return UNANNOUNCED and UNEXPECTED, and he will cut the servant to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
