Let's say I am in the desert with no help for thousands of miles and nobody knows I am there. I am minutes or hours away from death from dehydration or starvation or both. Is it possible to choose to sin just one more time with the plan to repent or is planning to repent contradictory to actually being able to repent? I mean you know you will regret doing it afterwards but you want to do it anyways because it feels good in the moment. Does knowing that you will die soon make repenting less meaningful? Is a single day enough time to actually truly feel repentance?
Another scenario, you set in motion a series of events that leads to what would be considered a sin by you knowing full well that before the conclusion of said events, you will regret doing it and ask for forgiveness. Where does the sin end? Does it end with the loss of intent or does it end with the conclusion of the series of events? What if you die before the conclusion of the events but after you have asked for forgiveness and repent?
