When I say Conversion in the church setting you probably imagine
a) Joining or changing an established religion.
b) Melodramatic, often histrionic public testimonials among fundamentalists.
c) Conversion therapy - a discredited evangelical practice of “unlearning” sexual orientation.

A true Biblical concept of conversion cannot be further from this farcical mockery.
i) The Hebrew word for conversion and repentance is תְשׁוּבָה TESHUVAH and it simply means “return”. Return and, discovery or reestablishment of genuine, meaningful relationships with other people and with God.
ii) And Greek word is μετάνοια METANOIA, it is often translated as “change of mind”. It actually means even more - finding a deeper/true meaning which lies above and beyond.

This Sunday, with the help of a story of one great spiritual person of the 20th century, we will seek an alternative, deeply spiritual and thoughtful conversion with the hope of reclaiming conversion for ourselves as progressive liberal Christians.

The payout bet365 우회 for the Player and Banker spaces are each 1 to 1. However, if a player bets on the Banker space and Banker wins, the casino takes a 5-percent commission from their bet. The payout for the Tie space is 9 to 1 or eight to 1 relying on the casino. Once every player has bet, 2 palms of 2 cards each are dealt on the desk, one for Player and one for Banker.
