Of course. I cannot argue that repentance involves doing. Actually without any doing, there is no repentance that was real. But it is not real, without faith, and is that being made possible from God, through Christ who came for this. Only with this is there return to anything of purity. Without this, anything shown for it is pious and virtue signaling.
If one were to create a world like what we see around us.
What would be the best way to get the attention of what one has created?
How can one convince them that one knows all about them, even the number of hairs on their heads, or none.
"Shall He who implants the ear not hear?
Shall He who forms the eye not see?
So how does one get them to turn around and call for help?
What if some do not feel a need to call for help?
Could it be to create a garden with all sorts of fruits on trees,
and then say they can eat freely of them but not this one.
Knowing they will eat of it and when they do, just leave them.
Will they not then understand, "It was better before"
IDK.
But the serpent has had a name change a few times,
first to snake, but it came to the Almighty and complained;
"It is no use, no one is taking any notice"
"Don't worry, I will change your name,
angel of death will be your name."
Time passed, and so it came again and complained,
"The game is up, it is a failed project."
"Don't worry I will change your name,
you will be called the Satan."
Again time passed and it came back and complained,
"No, it is no use I have have been exposed."
"Don't worry, I will change your name,
you will be called devil."
Anyhow, it all came back to the beginning,
"Awareness of sin".
wonder whether LittleLambofJesus is one of the ole timers now.
