How to Deal with Guilt and Shame.
Guilt / Sorrow, Stays with Us. Godly Sorrow and Repentance are Taught Incorrectly / Unbiblically to Deceive Everyone. You cannot undo what you have Done. You can Stop Letting your Past Control your Future though.
Isaiah 43:18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
Philippians 3:13 “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,”
No matter how Guilty we might Feel about the Bad we have done, we have to Let the Past Go, and Move on. Jesus also doesn’t want us to Dwell on an Amazingly Good Past we might have. He wants us to Keep moving Forward, Striving to Do our Best always. People who have a Great Past often Stop moving Forward thinking: “Look at All the Good I have done…” They just Stop and Rest thinking they have done enough Good already…
Luke 9:62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
1st Corinthians 9:23 And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you. 24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
Sometimes that means you will Have to get a Divorce and Start Over. Yes, it is Better to say Goodbye to Everyone you know and Start Over Fresh than to Let People who refuse to Let you Live in Peace Destroy the Rest of your Life.
People are Not Good at Forgiving, and Forgetting. People are Huge Hypocrites. They will point Fingers at you when they are Secretly Guilty of much Worse than you are.
2nd Samuel 12:13 And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.
Isaiah 43:25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
Isaiah 38:17 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.
Jeremiah 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
1st John 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
Psalms 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
Doing Penance and being full of Guilt is Catholic False Doctrine that Baptist’s and other Religions push too.
On the Cross Jesus Said:
Luke 23:34 “Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do…”
“Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do…” Christianity is Based on Forgiveness Not Guilt.
Psalms 103:1 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s. 6 The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. 7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. 8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. 9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. 10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. 12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. 13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him. 14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. 15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. 16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. 17 But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children; 18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them. 19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. 20 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. 21 Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. 22 Bless the Lord, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.
Luke 7:47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. 48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. 49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also? 50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
Why then do Most Religions push Penance, Guilt?
They are Pushing a False Gospel of Repent of Sin. They incorrectly define Repentance / Repent.
2nd Corinthians 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
Notice This Passage does Not Say to Repent of Sin. Sin is Not Even Mentioned.
The entire Passage:
2nd Corinthians 7:6 Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus; 7 And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more. 8 For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season. 9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. 10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. 11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter. 12 Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you. 13 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all. 14 For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth. 15 And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him. 16 I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.
In this passage Passage Paul is Not saying that Repentance / to Repent means to Repent of Sin. He is Not saying that Repentance / Repent is being Sorry over Sin.
It is Clear that Repent means to Change your mind. Paul changed his mind (Repents) a few times in this passage.
Godly Sorrow. What is Godly Sorrow?
Godly Sorrow is being Sorry for the Right Reasons.
The Right Reasons:
Sorry for your Evil Ungodly Behavior. Sorry for your Sin.
Sorrow for your Rage, Anger. Sorry for hurting other people. Sorry for Swearing, Adultery, Fornication (Having Sex outside of marriage.), Hitting someone, etc…
The Wrong Reasons:
Sorrow for not getting the job you wanted.
Sorrow because someone caught you lying.
Sorrow because someone discovered the real you.
They feel there is No Right, No Wrong. They get this teaching from their teacher’s in School’s in Colleges from Atheist’s.
At a young age I knew things I did was wrong. I am Sorry for too many things to count that I have done wrong, before and after I was Saved.
2nd Corinthians 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
Godly Sorrow is separate from Repentance. It worketh Repentance: Godly Sorrow causes a person to Repent. So Godly Sorrow is not Repentance.
Repent means to Change your mind. Repentance in Salvation means you changed your mind from Unbelief in Jesus to Belief in Jesus.
A person who is Sorry is Penitent. The Cambridge Dictionary definition of Penitent: Showing that you are sorry for something you have done because you feel it was wrong:
“I’m sorry,” she said with a penitent smile.
“It was hard to be mad at him when he looked so penitent.”
2nd Corinthians 7:9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. {after…: or, according to God} 10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. 11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort…
False Churches / Teachers say you cannot be Saved unless you have the Required Amount of Sorrow… They teach you have to have an Overpowering amount of Sorrow to be Saved.
How can anyone measure a person’s Sorrow? To say if it is enough or it is not enough for Salvation??? If you do not have the right amount of Sorrow than they say you are not Saved.
Your Amount of Sorrow does not Save you. Being Sorry for your Sins does not Save you.
Your Sorrow for your Sins, makes you realize you are a Lost Sinner. Realizing you are a Sinner shows you that you are Guilty of Breaking God’s Law.
1st John 3:4 “Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.”
You have to realize that you are a Sinner.
There is No Amount of Sorrow For Your Sins that you Need to Have. You must Only Realize / Acknowledge that you are a Sinner. To Understand you are a Sinner, Lost, Deserving to Die and go to Hell / The Lake of Fire. You must realize you are not righteous (Good enough to Save yourself).
The Reason for this, is because to Be Saved you have to Realize that you are Lost, in Need of a Savior, in Need of Jesus to Save you.
Romans 3:10 “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:”
God’s Law requires Justice. The Penalty for Sin is Death.
Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Jesus paid the Penalty for all of our Sins. Jesus Died, was Buried, and he Rose again on the 3rd day to Save us from Hell.
1st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Romans 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. {in due time: or, according to the time} 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. {atonement: or, reconciliation} 12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: {for that: or, in whom} 13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. 15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. 16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. 17 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) {by one man’s…: or, by one offence} 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. {by the offence…: or, by one offence} {by the righteousness…: or, by one righteousness} 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans: 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
