As far as the [[New Testament]], according to the Greek Orthodox Diocese of America:

{{Cquote|The Greek term for [[repentance]], [[metanoia]], denotes a change of mind, a reorientation, a fundamental transforma­tion of outlook, of man's vision of the world and of himself, and a new way of [[Love|loving]] others and [[God]]. In the words of a second-century text, The Shepherd of Hermas, it implies "great understanding," [[discernment]]. It involves, that is, not mere regret of past [[evil]] but a recognition by man of a dar­kened vision of his own condition, in which [[sin]], by sepa­rating him from God, has reduced him to a divided, auto­nomous existence, depriving him of both his natural [[glory]] and [[freedom]]. "Repentance," says [[Saint Basil|Basil the Great]], "is [[Salvation|salvation]], but lack of [[understanding]] is the death of repentance."<ref>[https://www.goarch.org/-/repentance-and-confession-introduction Repentance and Confession - Introduction], Greek Orthodox Diocese of America</ref>}}

Repentance is a turning away, to cease. Example: Revelation 2:16 "Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth."

Until the 1970s naturalists believed that [[lion]]s killed their prey by biting through the neck or by breaking the neck with a swat of a paw, while the Bible says that lions suffocated their prey. (Nahum 2:12) It was not until the 1970s that it was discovered that the [[Bible]] was correct.<ref>http://ed5015.tripod.com/BLions87.htm</ref> Lions fit their mouth over the mouth and nose of their prey and hold it while it suffocates, in addition to other killing methods.

===Rabbits, coneys, and cud===

In [[Leviticus 10-18 (Translated)#Chapter 11|Leviticus 11:5-6]], the Bible states, {{cquote|And the coney ''(or hyrax)'', because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.}} Although the term 'chewing the cud' usually means rumination (as seen in cows, for example), skeptics have claimed this is wrong in regards to rabbits and coney behavior. However, these animals do in fact use a similar process called refection. The underlying Hebrew words which are translated as 'chewing the cud' in the King James bible are actually much broader in scope and mean simply 'to bring up' which is something both rumination and refection do.<ref>https://creation.com/do-rabbits-chew-their-cud</ref><ref>http://carm.org/bible-difficulties/genesis-deuteronomy/do-badger-and-rabbit-chew-cud</ref> This issue in translation is similar to the bats and fowl problem mentioned above.
