This is Episode One-Hundred Eighty-Five for my channel, and is #67 in my "Dispelling the Accusatory Fog" video series! Today's video "Repentance", and the differences between what Christianity say repentance is and what Mormons or Latter-Day Saints say it is. What the heck is repentance anyway?” I’m covering this topic because Repentance is a principle that has come up during all three of my most recent videos I’ve done—“Why is Faith Required?”; “Adam & Eve Did Not Sin in the Garden of Eden”; and “Salvation vs Exaltation”. In all three of these topics, repentance is intertwined as a key principle in Father’s Plan of Happiness, or what some call “The Plan of Salvation & Redemption. In fact, it is THE chief condition for securing Salvation in that Plan, and so, I decided to just focus on repentance as today’s topic. My goal is to help you have a better understanding of the differences between my Chirstian friend’s view of what repentance is, and compare it to what the Latter-Day Saints view of repentance is.
