God, Satan or Jesus Christ doesn't exist.

There's no verifiable recognizable concretable approvable evidence of their existence.

Sin doesn't exist.nothing like sin,so nobody should deceive you or coerced you to confessed your useless sins.

My friend open your eyes before those hungry pastors Use you cash out.

Do they mention the sin they did?

Those that are still fornicating, do they confess to the priests that they had premarital sex with someone?

Religious are a beautiful thing but the adherents practise the thoughts of those piloting the religions which they often deify. Most christians in nigeria view the world through the tinted windows of the "men of God"

If you offend someone, tell the person you offended and ask for their forgiveness.
If it's something you took from them, give it back.
No one can forgive your offences except the person you offended.
Know this and know peace.

These are doctrines put in place to checkmate sinners like you. Imagine the world without the injunctions, practices and restraints found in religious teachings. It would have been a world of hellfire.

I think that practice has stopped. Civilization has taken over. I used to wonder why someone will confess his sins to another fellow, who would now decide whether your sins would be forgiven or Not. It's funny.
Well, all doctrines of men would crash, only the word of God will Prevail

Lol, the word of God actually prevailed but you didn't know.
Did you know that the bible admonished us to confess to one another .
If you are into Christianity, take a look at
James 5:16 and John 20:23

Yes, you must open your mouth and confess your sins to receive the adequate penance required to be forgiven.

You shouldn't hide any sin from the reverend because then you wouldn't actually have confessed to it.
So you can't confess your sins to God directly and ask for forgiveness from Him? Must it have to go through a priest first? Just asking.

Omo. I confessed even the sins that i didn't commit like stealing and fornication.🀣🀣

It's all bullshit!!!

People are so brainwashed!!

wtf is sin shocked

So if someone steals your money , or someone else commits murder, what is it then?

Call it sin, call it breaking the law or whatever, from time immemorial humanity has had concepts of 'right and wrong'.

Religion as something human should not be that different . I mean every one regardless of belief or lack has a concept of right or wrong.

Unless you are implying there is nothing like right or wrong? That's a ridiculous hill to die on, man

In reality, the Romans began this doctrine to know the secrets that lie in the hearts of men and then hold a leash over them. You will do anything told to you by someone who knows all your secrets. Back in those days, the people who.comfessed to the pope directly were the most important people in European society. Through them the church grew very powerful.

Lol. Nothing like feeding atheists. Even your Bible has lied from the beginning(Genesis). How can a woman come out of a man? Have you ever seen that in nature. Let’s start from there.

Do you know without the female plant all forms of life will cease to exist?

Good some call it crime, some call it sin, some call it taboo, some call it treason, some call it violating my autonomy.

Whatever they call it , it has one thing in common. It's all WRONG behaviour.

How we define it differs.

At the end of the day whatever the Catholics call it does not wreck your life man.

So calm down

I was in a Catholic Church for child dedication last Sunday, the priest was busy preaching Catholicism instead of the gospel, he was almost begging the congregation to go for confession, that they don't expose what they hear.

Though he was saying that to encourage the members to partake in the holy communion. Apparently, you're not supposed to partake in the holy communion without going for confession that week or so.

How does a woman tells a priest that all his 5 children don't belong to his husband but to neighbor and ex boyfriends? How does a man confess that he use his wife for rituals? One should embrace Jesus and forget about iniquities. Focus on Jesus and sin will become repulsive to you.

They Confess to the Bishop.

But dat's not on Weekly Basics. They do so when they visit him.

The Simple Fact is Confession is made for Catholics to pour out the Guilt of their sins to a Third Party. smiley

Though as the OP is thinking, many are Shy of going to confession diz days.πŸ˜•
