Jan 17, 2015 at 2:13 comment added pazzo This realy seems offtopic. Most the answers are ultimately an opinion based on a specific concept of God and/or of repentance.

Jan 16, 2015 at 22:10 comment added Jon Hanna "However, the meanings of these sentences are unclear. Does 'give/grant repentance mean that they were given the chance to repent?" Yes, those quotes are referring to the chance to repent; Chris' answer covers the main part of your question.

Jan 16, 2015 at 20:18 comment added Josh Based on the question raised in WS2's answer, perhaps God does not grant repentence, but he does hopefully acknowledge it.

Jan 16, 2015 at 20:08 comment added nicholas ainsworth There is a verb in Arabic to describe the meaning I'm looking for: I need to translate it.
Jan 16, 2015 at 20:02 comment added John Lawler Repentance is not really a speech act; it happens either in Heaven (on which we have no data) or in one's imagination (ditto). Hence there is little likelihood that non-theological writers have a ready term for it. Theological writers, however, have hundreds of terms for it, and for everything else. You pays your attention and you takes your choice.
