my point is that you accept the translation "repentance" because that is the word you grew up with. If they are dissimilar, then find a dissimilar word, imo--Jesus, John and Paul, et al, did not use the word "repentance;" they spoke Aramaic. And carry the mind-changing through to the rest of the verse, if you dare. I have not been struck by lightning yet.
