Reply To: Born that way?

little, on a somewhat similar note, I saw in the Sefer Emunas Chachamim, by Reb Aviad Sar Shalom a Terutz to the apparent contradiction between Sefer Melachim, where Menashe’s Teshuva is not mentioned, and Divrei Hayamim, where it is mentioned. He says that as long as Bnei Yisroel were worshipping the idols that he introduced his Teshuva couldn’t be accepted. But, the Divrei Hayamim was written by the Anshei Knesses Hagedola, who abolished the Yetzer Hara of Avoda Zara. Therefore, at that time his Teshuva was accepted.
