Good Evening Dr. Paul,
Hope your health is continuing to improve. I am reading your book on Revelation, which I love so far, and I noticed on page 13 you mention that Paul never tells believers to repent. Although Paul does not use that term very often, he did use it a few times. Is it because this was early in his ministry and Jesus just moved him further away from that term as he sent him more and more to the Gentiles? I’ve listed them below. And please, keep teaching. Your ministry has changed my life and SOME in my family. I have all your books now and have begun reading them. I have watched all of your videos also. Thank you in advance for your response and God Bless.
The first that I see is in Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
Also in Act 26:20 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.
I’m also not used to seeing him use the term “Works” as he did in that verse.
And lastly he uses the term repent and repentance in 1 Corinthians 7:8-10 2Co 7:8 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.
2Co 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.
2Co 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
