I can do sins with Jesus when I was a Christian.
Now I am an ex-Christian. I can repent my sins without Jesus.

Physically, there are two types of cleansing: one outwardly by taking showers, one inwardly by detox.
Spiritually, Jesus does the inward one.
One can repent to an extent see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil and lock up in confinement. But without the conversion of the heart, when opportunity presents, sin desire will revive. One need spiritual detox to rid of that stain in the heart. Once this is done, the desire to do wrong is gone, even when present with opportunity.

Of course you can repent without Jesus. Repent just means seeing the error of your ways. The question is whether you can be forgiven.

Point no 1 Jesus was and still is the disciple of Christ, so its not up to Him at all.
Point no 2. Jesus has clearly stated that sin as such is
no longer relevant though we all have as such to go through the atonement process
...3 read all of this in His book...a course in miracles dated 1977AD.
...4 Christ and Jesus are both on earth today and are still working together. Amen.

When one repents, he is supposed to turn away from sin to Christ. Without Jesus, he won't have the power to remain away from sin.

one is either in the kingdom of God or satan
if one is in the kingdom of God, repentance is a necessity to grow ..
God says : repent
God does not say : i will change you
means we have to put in effort to change our wrongdoings ...
if one is in the kingdom os satan, repentance is simply not possible.
why ...
that control freak knows your weaknesses, it will MAKE you add sin to sin ...
it will manipulate you and suck you into a vortex of utter darkness where you'll not
be able to see the light of day ...
therefore, we cannot repent if Messiah Jesus is not in our lives.

Yes but that won't grant us unity to God or entry into Heaven.
Only the pure and holy can enter Heaven and be with God. We human beings cannot make ourselves pure and holy no matter what we do and that's why we need a Saviour.
There are 2 kinds of people on the earth: people who love God and people who don't. Those who love God will be drawn to His Son Jesus Christ and accept him as their Lord and Saviour. Those who do not love God will not love His Son and accept Him.
1 John 2:23
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
These who do not love God are not good people but His enemies (Romans 5:10) and He has already prepared a place for them (Hell). Many say they love God but they are liars. How can we prove they are liars? God sent His Son to die for us, but these reject Him (Jesus) and the truth about Him.
Almighty God was, is and will always be triune (one God in three persons, not three gods). God is comprised of the Father, the Son (Lord Jesus Christ) and the Holy Spirit. Each person of the Triune Godhead has a different role. There is only one God (Isaiah 43:10-11; 44:6,8; 45:21-22; 46:9; John 17:3; 1 John 5:20-21). The Father is God (1 Peter 1:2; Philippians 2:11), the Lord Jesus Christ is God (Matthew 1:23; John 1:1; 20:28; Hebrews 1:8; Hebrews 13:8; Revelation 1:7-8; 2 Peter 1:1; Titus 2:13) and the Holy Spirit is God (Acts 5:3-4; Acts 28:25-27; 1 Corinthians 3:16-17; 2 Corinthians 3:17).
Without God, the spiritual part of the human being is dead (Ephesians 2:5, Colossians 2:13). The sin of our first parents (Adam and Eve) caused the separation between God and man. Christ, the 2nd Person of the Triune Godhead was made flesh (through the immaculate conception) and died for our sins so we could through faith in Christ as our Saviour be instantly redeemed and united to God and have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit who teaches us, comforts us and grants us fruits to live in righteousness and gifts to help and edify the Church. There is no redemption or unity to God apart from receiving the Lord Jesus Christ as one’s Saviour and Lord.
God created us out of love (Jeremiah 31:3). God loves us so much that Jesus the 2nd Person of the Triune Godhead was made flesh as the Son of God to pay for our sins so we could by faith in Jesus as our Saviour have a relationship with God and spend eternity with Him in His kingdom (John 3:16). Becoming flesh to suffer an agonizing death on a cross shows the extent of love God has for us, and He wants us to choose Him by accepting the atonement He made for our sins. The Lord Jesus is the only way, the truth and the life (John 14:6). Praise God for His great sacrifice!
After a believer dies, they go to Heaven to be with Christ (Luke 23:43). Heaven is much more amazing than any human here on earth can imagine. It is a place where human beings would feel perfect and everlasting love, joy, peace, comfort and happiness (John 14:2; 1 Corinthians 2:9; 2 Corinthians 12:1-4).
If a person dies without accepting Christ as their Lord and Saviour, they would not be forgiven by God. After death, these would go to Hades (Acts 2:31, Luke 10:15) and all those in Hades will be later thrown into the eternal lake of fire along with Satan, his hosts and all who refuse the true and only way of salvation offered in the Lord Jesus Christ. Burning in the everlasting lake of fire is known as the “second death” (Revelation 20:6, 13-15).
The truth about Jesus Christ can be found only in the word of God which is the Holy Bible. Three days after the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, He resurrected from the dead (Luke 24:1-8; Acts 10:40; 1 Corinthians 15:4) and 40 days later, He ascended into Heaven (Acts 1:3; Luke 24:50-53; Acts 1:9-11).
1 Timothy 3:16
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”
Jesus Christ is Lord over all:
Philippians 2:9-11
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
False doctrines claim that there are several paths to God. The word of God tells us that there is ONLY ONE WAY and that is through faith in Jesus Christ.
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 3:36
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him
If you sincerely say this prayer, your sins will be washed away, you will be redeemed to God, be saved from eternal torment and inherit the Kingdom of God:
"Dear Jesus,
I am a sinner.
I repent of my sins.
Please forgive me and save me by your shed blood;
come into my heart.
I want to receive you as my own personal Lord and Savior.
Amen"
After sincerely saying this prayer, the Holy Spirit will abide within you and begin to lead you to all truth, empower and equip you and help you along life's journey. Keep your faith growing by reading and studying the word, remain in a repentant and humble spirit and always have Almighty God as first priority in your life.
As long as you have faith in the Lord Jesus as your Saviour you are saved. Through your faith in Christ as your Saviour the Holy Spirit will guide you in repenting of your sins and doing the will of God. If you lose this faith, you lose Salvation.

"Your sins" disappear the moment you realize the absurdity of the very concept of sin, guilt, etc.
