I beleive there are many sincere catholic christians, but the catholic system itself i dont think can legitimatly call itself christian for the simple fact that they deny that salvation and forgiveness is a gift freely offered by Jesus to everyone. from what i have heard they believe salvation is attained solely by membership in the catholic chruch and forgiveness by catholic priests |

Regarding Confession ,James 5:16 - Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power in its effects. John 20:22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them[the apostles], and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.." please note the power of forgiveness is given to the apostles, the "chosen ones". So the apostles now called catholic priests are appointed by Jesus Himself to forgive. God Bless. |

I agree that we can (and should) forgive each other. Mat 6:14 "If you forgive others the wrongs they have done to you, your Father in heaven will also forgive you. Mat 18:21-22 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, if my brother keeps on sinning against me, how many times do I have to forgive him? Seven times?" "No, not seven times," answered Jesus, "but seventy times seven, but i do not think we can presume to take the place of God and forgive sins for him. Mark 2:7 "How does he dare talk like this? This is blasphemy! God is the only one who can forgive sins!" in fact you will notice that the two things that are called blasphemous in the NT are forgiveness of sins and saying one is God on ths earth (John 10:33) |
