Wael,
Quote:Shamms: "repentance is only granted from God Himself"
Quote:"So there is no blood sacrifice required for a person to be forgiven by God? All what it takes is a sincere repentance and not necessarly beliving that Jesus died for our sins, am I right?"
No, that is incorrect. The law of blood atonement for sins was instituted in the garden and has not changed. Jesus Christ according to scripture, is the believer's atoning sacrifice:
Matthew 26:28
(28) For this is My blood of the new covenant, which [ratifies the agreement and] is being poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
So, blood is shed, sins are covered, repentance can be granted. In that order. To answer your questions in bold:
You can't.
Because God is sovereign
You can't.
