Have We Totally Misunderstood What “Repent” Means??
We have all heard it: "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
Actually, this is one of the worst translated passages in all the Bible – and one of the most harmful because of that.
What if what Jesus REALLY said was, “Deconstruct, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” Would that change things? Would it have eliminated a lot of the shame and guilt and harm?
In this powerful episode, we deconstruct this harmful passage and take the blinders off, so we see things as they really are.
There is so much life and freedom available to us.
