Dear GB, It is biblical to confess your sins to one another. James 5:16 The objection that only God can forgive sins was made by a Pharisee. You cannot make a doctrine out of such verses. John 20:23 was spoken specifically to the apostles. If you forgive the sins of any, their sins have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained. You think this has no connection to confession practised in the Catholic and Orthodox Church for 2,000 years? What is your interpretation of John 20:23? Are you claiming that all scripture invariably applies specifically to you. Woman why are you weeping? (Jn. 20:15). If you can't "see" the plain sense of John 20:23 perhaps you are wearing denominational spectacles when you read the Bible. |

The tone indicated in your note dear friend, causes me to loose all interest in discussing the matter with you. Such a tone automatically puts me in mind of 2 Ti 2:24. Your tone is quite contrary to that passage. It invites what we are told we "MUST NOT DO." God Bless GB |
