Confessing Of Sins To A Reverend Father by kemisuga(f): 12:27pm On Sep 23, 2008
Is it really good confessing our sins to a father in a church? Some say the father help convey the prayers to God for forgiveness. Or make our confessions to God directly?

I dont really understand why some christians confess their sins to a Man? Although I was in dis category before, but I think it is wrong, so I change my church. And is this right or wrong?

@ poster,
no man has the ability to forgive men of their sins. This can only happen when the person is concerned, i.e when someone did wrong to you, then u are in the position to forgive that pereson.
The catholics will try to base their proof on the statement being made by christo that whatever you bind on earth it is also bind in heaven. This is when you suffered maltreatment from a fellow man, then u can forgive and it is only in this position you can do this and in no any other way. when u try to forgive the sins commited against another fellow the u are trying to put yourself in equal to the ALMIGTHY FATHER, and thats a great blasphemy.
SHALOM!!!!!!!!!!!!
