Optimall: How has the topic changed to racism or holiness? This is the mark of someone uninterested in truth or learning. You said only Jesus can forgive, not priests. Jesus doesn't think so.

James 5:14–16 (RSVCE)
14 Is any among you sick? Let him call for the
elders of the church, and let them pray over him,
anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; 15
and the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and
the Lord will raise him up; and if he has
committed sins, he will be forgiven. 16 Therefore
confess your sins to one another, and pray for one
another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a
righteous man has great power in its effects.
James here gives us a glimpse into sacramental
confession being practiced in the first century. In
verse 14 he says to call the “elders” for anyone
who is sick. The Greek word for “Elder” is
πρεσβύτερος (presbyteros) which is literally
translated as “elder”, however, it is the Greek word
where we get the English word for Priest. So its
not just an “older” Christian, but rather a Priest, an
ordained minister assisting the Bishop who is
called to provide the sacraments to the sick person
in this passage. Notice that James says to confess
your sins to “one another” in verse 16. Question,
who is the “one another” James had in mind here?
Is it your best friend? Is it some stranger? Perhaps
its your spouse he’s referring to? Well, what’s the
context of the passage? It is the Elder of course…
so we are to confess our sins to the πρεσβύτερος,
the Priest that we are supposed to call when we
are either sick or have sins to confess! Notice too
what James didn’t say, namely to confess your
sins directly to God. Rather, the witness of
scripture, and salvation history, is to confess our
sins to the Priest, the father, whom God has
breathed upon with His life, and sent to bring us
His reconciliation. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Optimall: To other priests. There's something you're avoiding: Have you now seen that, though it is God alone who forgives sins, he allowed men to do it on his behalf (thereby believing John20:23)? Or do you still maintain that men cannot do that (thereby disbelieving John20:23)? 1 Like |

missKiffy: I don't know the Bible many of you read these days in these New Generation Churches that forget to preach about true Christian life, but spend precious time discussing how Catholics worship. Whoever told you your Church is even doing the right thing! Have you ever come across this in the Bible you read: ... 13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” 14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15“But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” 17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. 18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” 20 Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah. Source:: New International Version (NIV) http://biblehub.com/niv/matthew/16.htm So, the Catholic Pope and Priests were actually given powers to forgive sins. See verses 18 & 19. Was GOD naïve to have handed the Church over to Simon Peter ?! Simon Peter (St Peter) became the first Pope of the Church, which of course is the Catholic Church before the Anglican Church sprung up and ever since other Churches who claim to see the Light clearer have been springing up! 2 Likes |

azzima: Lol. No matter what u say, never forget that Catholism was the only Christian identity for 1500 years until protestants erupted with the believes that any man can speak to God freely and no need for priests or church sacraments and other anti-catholic faiths. So r u saying that for 1500 years after Christ's death, there was no Christianity until only 500yrs ago? Lool. There's only one church, and it's the one handed from Christ to the Apostles and that remains only and I repeat, ONLY with the catholic church. But u still free to believe in what u want oh. The teachings of the catholic church are difficult to agree. But it shows her ressemblance with Christ, coz his teachings were hard in the ears and eyes of the Jews, sotey dem all run comot (John 6 - the discourse on the bread of life) |
