christianity demands a total transformation of oneself called metanoia.

metanoia (μετάνοια) originates from the koine greek words meta (μετά), meaning after, and nous (νοῦς), meaning mind.

metanoia is what awaits us after we change our minds, our intellect, and our understanding of the world.

nous is a koine greek philosophical term describing a main component of human consciousness, alongside logos (λόγος), meaning reason, and psihi (ψυχή), meaning soul.

over time, metanoia has been reduced to repentance alone, a lesser goal. it is easier to ask for repentance than for total transformation.

if you did not know this, you are, unfortunately, not a true christian.

all it took to learn this was to ask chatgpt. or, if you are lucky, you can learn it from the right priest. it would be very hard to learn it by reading books.
