We recommend listening to the teaching, Repentance (It’s more than just saying sorry) | Part 12, before listening to this episode.Afterburn: also known in the fitness world as the “afterburn effect.” Simply put, the more intense the exercise, the more oxygen your body consumes afterward. This effect could occur spiritually after Rabbi Berkson's intense teachings each week. This Afterburn Q&A session allows your mind and soul to consume more understanding (oxygen).Some of the topics covered are:• Intro• Are we born into a system of belief? • Comparing the Repentance and Forgiveness teachings • I want to be there when justice is served • She needed three things?• Why do people leave our fellowship? • “I wasn’t looking directly at you” • How do I keep my mind in the ‘now’?• What is Predestination? • Yeshua was an angel? • I blamed my family for how I turned out • Is this a simplification or a contradiction?• Some actions have a consequence in this life• Some things are just the way they are • Inflicting ones

In the original languages of Hebrew and Greek, the meaning of the word ‘repentance’ is fundamentally the same: to turn around, or to turn back. Being a vital element of a relationship with the Creator, Elohim grants the gift of repentance to those He chooses. Within that gift of repentance is a sense of remorse and regret. When repentance is from a sincere heart, the relationship is restored.Rabbi Steve Berkson teaches the deep and sometimes hidden meaning of repentance and all it involves.• Opener• Review• Isaiah 55:6-7 – Seek Yahweh while he is to be found• Do you know who you’re looking for?• Call upon him when he is near• Let the wrong forsake his way• Return to Yahweh• Isaiah 55:8-9 – My thoughts are not your thoughts…• Isaiah 55:10-11 – His word does not return empty• Isaiah 55:12-13 – There’s reward in obedience • Lamentations 3:40 – Examine yourself • Ezekiel 18:30-32 – Judged according to each man’s ways • Ezekiel 18:1-20 – Each person is responsible for what he/she does • What to do with Messiah Yes
