T;The Scriptures do not disagree with one another but your teaching disagrees with Scripture.

Nick,True kindness comes from God and works through belief.  The kindness that does not come from God brings no profit; even as it is written:1 Corinthians 13:3King James Version (KJV)3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

Nick,Thank you!Your information teaches us that a broken spirit is one who is mournful.  A mournful heart that is pleasing to Yahweh is one that is full of godly sorrow.  How does that differ from a contrite heart?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 03 2012,04:12)Hi T, A broken spirit is not repentance. Repentance is realising we have unknowingly served satan, the god of this world, and seeking forgiveness.Nick;A broken spirit is surrender to God.A contrite heart is one that desires to change.That sounds like repentance to me.
