Quick note on the Gospel of John:

The repentance Jesus offered people in John& #39;s Gospel was on the level of paradigms, not propositions.

IOW- Jesus agitated for changing & #39;how the mind minds& #39; not simply to change people& #39;s minds.

/1

IOW- How they thought about what they thought needed to be changed; people had to & #39;look at their looker& #39; so they could see differently so they could know something they couldn& #39;t know otherwise.

/2

IOW- The fundamental problem wasn& #39;t that people were sinful/stupid: it& #39;s that they were certain...committed to their frames rigidly...unwilling to lose control of their version of reality.

IOW- Repentance is about changing how we think so we can change what we think.
