It's quite easy to misinterpret "repentance", and "confession" is actually the incorrect direction for Christian repentance, for repentance that acknowledges the Holy Ghost.
That's because "confession" is an outward "worldly" "symptom", and not a "cure".
The confession is simply what is considered "repentance" by today's standards.
Feeling bad, or feeling wrong in what we call the "conscience" is not what was originally called "repentance" in Hebrew and Greek.
The original word was more akin to what we think of as "RELENTING" instead of what we think of as "repenting" today.
"Relenting" means an actual attempt to seek the Holy Ghost, to actually "hate" the world of the Devil and "love" the superior world and superior Universe of the good God of the all good, all knowing, all wise, all loving, etc. Holy Ghost, in whose Universe we crave to be a part of.
Confession is emptiness. It says nothing of what we aspire to be in soul and spirit. It only says we shed crocodile tears, because that's what it is. As you note, a man can spend all day abusing people, confess it at night, shed tears as though he's sorry, and then do the same thing the next day.
We experience in the flesh right now. It's scientifically proven we aren't matter or energy, and also proven we're souls or spirits that read meters of processes of matter and energy. The fact that we're imprisoned proves there is a supernatural power equivalent to an evil prison warden that is undeniably sadistic and determined to lie, cheat, steal, kill, and destroy each "prisoner", over billions just in human beings living today. There's absolutely no statistic to rival that in terms of proof of a "non benevolent cognitive supernatural evil force", no statistic ever to match that. The materialist is a retarded moron, by definition. That doesn't mean an atheist is, just a materialist.
So, since we experience in the flesh, and are forced to "read the meters" by the inferior senses we possess, we have little power to change much of what we do. We can't force ourselves to stop coughing in smoke filled rooms, for example. We do have the power to not fill the room with smokes out of sheer self righteousness and sadistic superiority.
I'll take a simple example. Lets say I am about to be evicted if I don't pay rent, and I work all the jobs I can to try to do it, but can't pay the rent. And so I get help from an agency to help pay the rent. I would want to pay it back, but probably will never be able to do so, without more outside help that would allow me the stewardship to have a resource to have the means to do so. There is absolutely nothing in the power of the individual to do so on his or her own, because of capitalism and democracy. The individual can only help others to have such means. I cannot have a business if everyone in the city conspires to "not buy" from me. Boycotts are the way of Western culture. Not the ones we hear about, but the unspoken ones that are incurred by demons.
Now, lets say I refuse to give a good word for another person that would allow that person to have the means to get the resources to pay rent. Lets say the tycoon in charge of a company asks me if "Jonah" can be trusted to be head of the department of Ninevah in his company, and I decide Jonah is too obstinate to do so, and Jonah loses out, and stays in poverty, and stays in my situation of needing help for rent.
So, if I "confess" that I keep him from this opportunity, I'm saying nothing. I may even pity him for not being able to pay rent, or for being evicted and having to sit out in the Sun all day. That's meaningless. It's not relenting. Because I did play God in making the decision, without really knowing if I was an expert in what he would do.
Now, if I truly repent, it means I relent, and I try to find the tycoon and say, "Hey, look, I don't know if Jonah is really obstinate. I can't say that he's unworthy". I try to stop playing God with other people's lives. That's relenting, and biblical repenting.
