Bible Question:
I hope someone can help me with two questions I have; why do Catholics have to confess sins to a priest? Where is purgatory found in the Bible? Thanks |
Bible Answer: Hi, Jayell. Your first question is about confessing to priests. The Bible says that we are to confess our sins to God (1 John 1:9). The Catholic practice is based on tradition. ..... Your second question is about purgatory. There is absolutely no mention of purgatory in the Bible. The Catholic concept of purgatory comes from one of the Apocryphyal books, 2 Maccabees. --Hank |
