Did you check the bolded too? why should it be the priest and not to anyone else?

O boy read your bible properly jor. What was the first reference? ' Elders of the church' not just anybody the entire reference of 'one another' still refers to elders. And in the catholic setting that falls under the jurisdiction of the priest, bishops...

Wether the protestants like it or not the catholics are and will always the first christains through our lord Jesus Christ.

Wether you like or disrespect the pope he still remaims the most powerful religious icon on earth.

Wether you like it or not catholics have the largest religious following in the world, our muslim brothers not sure which faction are second.

Catholics rules and regulations worth thousands of years. They know the true secrets of the world because they are part of the few groups had the guts to mould it and still remain in true service of God.

The catholic church owns a country, currency, economy.

The catholic church owns on of the most secure and biggest banks in the world and is the largest real estate owner in the world. Mcdonalds coming second.

The catholic church is in everything you do, just like the illuminati is in every hit rock,rap,country or blues you have on your electronics.

Leave the catholic church alone, cos it will still be called the catholic church when you move to next flavor of the week pentecostal church.

We dont die, we multiply.

Amen to your prayers. But you seem to shy away from all the bible verses sited where confession was instructed.

Hmm do I sense you know half truths? And as for your quote of jesus been the way the truth and the life. Did he also say I'm the 'only' way, 'only' truth and 'only' life. Or do you think he ommited the 'only'?

[quote author=k2039]Jesus is the high priest. You should only confess to God and ask
him for forgiveness. No man who was
born like you and will die like you will
forgive you for your sins even if they say
they can.

If you offend someone you can confess to the person you offended for him to forgive you but the ultimate forgiveness comes from God(which means you still have to confess to God)

Pdizzle: Although im a catholic, i read a lot of prostestant devotionals since we all serve the same God. On reading my open heavens this morning, i saw pastor Adeboye taking a jab at the catholics concerning the way they confess their sins to priests, saying penance does not grant you forgiveness.
We got discussing about it and we made reference to bible passages such as john 20:22-23 and james 5:14-16. Pls what are your opinions on these.
If Adeboye should enter a catholic church during confession where about 10000 faithfuls are preparing for the sacrament and he was given a chance to say this there,i tell you only about 5 ppl dia would be moved from going to that confessional...Why? Let him mind his biz and leave catholics alone. Its either he doesnt know anything about the Catholic Church or he's acting ignorant of the truth...AGAIN there's no need arguing wit protestants cos they's always protest..

Nigeria pastors and critisms, I wonder what new thing they want to change. Yesterday they were against used of candles and olive oil, today they are criticising a doctrine they no nothing about. I wonder if Adeboye knows that the Bible was written and assembled by the Catholic church or that the only church in Isreal till today is Catholic. Pastor Adebayo should focus on his private business called a church and leave the Catholic church alone because even the gate of hell can not prevail against it.

Super1759: this is one rubbish I detest. I was born into a catholic family,I read my bible and condemned the trash.
1) I confess my sins to a man ,yet I pray to a God to bless me and guide me.if God can hear my prayers and bless me.why I should I go to man to tell my sins?

2) We are all human, and equal before God,if u like be d holiest. so d man am confessing my sins to,who does he confess his own to?


3) When you are born again,God gives you the holyspirit,meaning you have equal acces to the mercy seat. meaning I can boldly speak to God as my father and not a church leader.(The church leader is like a shephard,to win souls and guide the sheeps from falling astray)


4)The same power jesus gave his disciples and blessings..(Any sin you forgive is forgiven...u shall trample upon scorpions they won't harm...anything you command,in my name it is down..I have given you powers over all....) We all have same authorities,onces you believe in Jesus and born again,so when I sin,I confess to God,who gave me the authority not to my fellow man with thesame authority,so how do I know the person am confessing to is clean?

Ever since I grew into a man and read the bible with the help of the spirit,so many churches still practise irrelevant practises and because we are born into it,we believe it. Like I said here,I was born into a catholic home,my dad left because he saw most things they do as not inline with biblical doctrine.I grew up and now understand all that. Its high time we understand what we do,not just because our parents are there.
Pastors can counsel you and pray for you ( the bible sais,is anyone sick,let him meet the elders of the church)


If everyone was equal why did Jesus treate people differently. He had the 72 then the 12 then the 3 the his 'beloved'. Hmm equal indeed

Why would you need the guidiance of your equal if you're truly equal? Did Jesus say its the responsibility of the elders to preach the gospel and guide the sheep?

So why didn't Jesus say the sick person and his family should pray for themselves and they'll be healed? Why did he specifically say ' call elders'

You're confused bro!

My dear, there are thousands of churches in Nigeria today partly due to thousands of misleading interpretations of the bible. So, I'm not too sure you are in a position to advice the poster on the basis of a certain passage of a certain bible you read and independently interpreted.

Visit the nearest Catholic Church and talk to a priest. You will be glad you did. grin grin

The priest has his life and will be judge accordingly. But even the pope goes to confession. A priest confesses to another priest.

Lest I forget, most catholic priest are very holy. Forget about the news about some western priests who have misbehaved. Despite that they have expressed remorse, showed humility and are repentant.
