1 | why is Catholic confession required? | Bible general Archive 1 | teragram123 | 57079 | ||
I believe you misunderstood me about doctrine and words being true. I was quoting from your statement. “Catholics believe the atoning blood of Christ and only the blood of Christ washes us clean and achieves for us eternal salvation.” The words... the Blood cleanses is altogether true... but If as a Catholic, had I truly believed in the blood’s saving and cleansing power, my faith would have prevented me from confessing to the priest, and doing the penances to alleviate the pain of sin that required a term in purgatory. If I had believed as you were saying, my faith would have shown by my works... and those works would NOT have been vain works. Faith frees the soul of the fear for the need of added works above the Blood. What can wash away my sin? NOTHING but the blood of Jesus. |

Terribly sorry, Teragram, this question was meant for Emmaus as I know you and I agree on this point. I did not notice that I was responding to your post instead of his response to mine. I will cut and paste to repost to Emmaus. In Christ, Estelle |
