Scriptural penance - works meet for repentance



Lutero:
For what? penance? There is NONE in Scripture
I already gave several which are completely in line. Especially this one:
Acts 26:20

King James Version (KJV)

20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.

Now, show us where penitents do not have to do "works meet for repentance" (i.e. penance).



Or course you did...you compared David's punishment from God to PENANCE doled out by your apostate church.
God's penance is much harsher than that imposed by the Church. But they are based upon the same principle. One must atone for one's sins because one has given God's enemies reason to blaspheme. Now, its your turn. Show me from Scripture that God does not expect us to atone for our sins in any way and that God forbids the imposition of penances by the Church.

Sincerely,

De Maria
