Nah, you need to turn yourself in to the cops too. Actually hold on a minute.......OK I traced your IP address and am forwarding the information to the FBI. How's that for good service!
Say, how come atheists hate the idea of Jesus so much that they have to deny that he ever even existed? Why not spend a little effort showing that the Buddha never lived? Or Mohammed? Are you only atheist about Christianity?

i dont think jesus would approve of dealing dope since its against the law but true repentance means you do not plan on ever doing that "sin" again
when you say after every sale maybe it would be better to say the last sale

sorry, no.
first, it's illegal, and law enforcement generally isn't as forgiving as spiritual leaders.
second, the purpose of repentance is to repent of and learn from the sin that was committed. it isn't a perpetual "get out of jail free" card - it's a step on a journey to try to be a better person.
finally, prayer is not a plea bargain. it's a conversation between you and a spiritual entity. sometimes it is simply the silence of meditation. it's a mechanism to listen to something besides the ceaseless clattering of one's own mind and hopefully to gain some insights.

no, that is using a easy cope out for your criminal activity. If you want to be a good christian, why are you doing things you know you are going to have to repent for??
You need to talk to your minister, about your situation, explain why you are doing it and stop praying on the weakness of others you low life!!!

i guess that depends on how you define repent, or how clinton defined sexual relations in the same manner, repent means you turn away from something you know is wrong to do and ask forgiveness, so it couldn't be true repentance if you keep selling

repenting is an act of confessing one's sin, and not repeating it doing a 180 AWAY from the promotion of ruining people

You think God made a mistake by creating the plant Cannabis Sativa?
Cooking up crystal meth or crack in a laboratory is evil but the cannabis plant was put here for a purpose. God has a reason for everything.

If you continue to commit the sin you are asking forgiveness for, then clearly you have no remorse for the sin, and don't really want forgiveness, you just want permission. Jesus forgives, but He isn't stupid, He knows your heart.

You can sell what the heck you like, but forget repenting, there is no such thing as GOd.
