I don't have a question. You have a question.
How do you measure remorse? You don't have to answer me.

I’m sorry are you asking me how someone measures remorse because I thought you said you weren’t asking the question. I think the problem is your too arrogant to admit when you’ve been proven wrong. You provided only a portion of the definition of repent (metanoia) and I provided the full definition and according to the full definition remorse is a part of repentance. When you repent of sin and turn to God you regret having offended Him. Your heart no longer desires sin and when you do stumble your heart aches with sorrow for having failed God. I don’t know how someone can have a genuine repentance without heart felt remorse of their sins.

Here’s an example Matthew 26:75

“And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, "Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times." And he went out and wept bitterly.”
‭‭MATTHEW‬ ‭26:75‬ ‭NASB‬‬

Calling me arrogant was uncalled for.

Your claim was supported by a second definition. (with commentary bias, I might add)
Repentance is the same as forgiveness. An unemotional legal transaction is all that is required. Anything beyond that is unmeasurable. How much remorse is required? If you weren't remorseful enough was it "genuine" repentance? Again, how are these things measured.

That's fine.
Would Jesus have forgiven him if he hadn't wept bitterly?
What if he only wept, but not bitterly?
Or if he was sad but didn't shed a tear?
How are these things measured?

Why does there have to be a measurement? Who says there must be a measurement? I can’t even understand how repentance is unemotional. I can’t even fathom the idea of repentance without emotion. A legal transaction? How does that work? Ok here ya go God here’s your repentance now give me my grace, nice doing business with you, have a nice day?

Because you are making it a requirement.

This is why grace alone for salvation works, but grace plus works does not.

If salvation is by grace alone then it is measurable. Jesus paid it in full.
That is completely measurable. Done deal.

If we say grace plus works, now we have a problem. How do we measure that?
How much works is enough? Did you do enough? (who knows) Could you have done more? (of course) Did you do enough? (who knows) Right back to our vicious circle.

You claimed I was arrogant with no emotion. I told you it was uncalled for and you still show no emotion. I think you are completely capable of an unemotional transaction.

Did it cost you money to pay your bills this month? Were you remorseful for the loss? Will the payment not count because you were not hurt by it emotionally?

How does that even remotely compare to grace? Surely we’re not paying for grace now.

No. And non-sequitur. You have no evidence at all for your post.

(I agree with Jesus and Jeremiah entirely, and all of Yahweh's Word)
Then why do you promote the law? Is any one obligated to keep the law? If so who and when.

Let me rephrase what I said in reply to your message. In Judaism Jews are required to pray 3 times per day. I didn’t mean that God has required them to pray 3 times per day. I’m not aware of any such commandment.
News to me. Why does it matter?
