Bible Note: Dear Emmaus, As a catholic, I was requierd to confess my sins to a priest. I was given absolution and instructed to say a certain number of Hail Mary's and Our Fathers as a condition of being restored to a "state of grace". In other words: I had to add works to faith in order to recieve absolution. I no longer believe that the Catholic system of confession and pennance is scriptural. 1) 1Ti 2:5 "For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, ". I don't need an earthly priest. 2) Romans 8:1 [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. I would encourage you to read the entire 8th chapter. There is no falling from grace if you are in Christ. 3) 1 John 1:9 " If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We are to take our sins to the Father and to go boldly before the throne of grace, and God forbid that I offer my works as a propitiation for my sins. Instead my song will be: Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood, From Thy wounded side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure; Save from wrath and make me pure. Not the labor of my hands Can fulfill Thy law’s demands; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone. Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to the cross I cling; Naked, come to Thee for dress; Helpless look to Thee for grace; Foul, I to the fountain fly; Wash me, Savior, or I die. While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyes shall close in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, See Thee on Thy judgment throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee God Bless Emmaus, John |
