A Biblical METANOIA is a true turning from sin and a turning to God in faith.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

repentance is very important and it means to turn away from sin and not return to it.

Repentance = change mind
So when the Bible says to repent, it can't be about sin, unless we think sin is good, then we should repent concerning that.
But if we already see sin as evil we should not change our mind about sin.
We should change from dependence on self to dependence on Jesus Christ for our salvation.
A believer should repent if he has bad doctrine. He should change his mind about that.
For instance if a believer thinks that God doesn't love him with everything He has, that believer should repent from that belief.
