Questions, Opinions about the Rite of Confession

[necrotic freak]

wa koy laing gusto ipangutana sa mga motuo sa kumpisal, tagai ko ninyo ug lig-on nga rason nganong dili man ta angay modretso kumpisal sa ginoo? nganong mag-agi pa man jud ug pari? unsa man, di diay ta paminawn kun modretso ta?

Because that's the way God wants us to do it. In James 5:16, God, through Sacred Scripture, commands us to "confess our sins to one another." Notice, Scripture does not say confess your sins straight to God and only to God...it says confess your sins to one another.

In Matthew, chapter 9, verse 6, Jesus tells us that He was given authority on earth to forgive sins. And then Scripture proceeds to tell us, in verse 8, that this authority was given to "men"...plural.

In John 20, verses 21-23, what is the 1st thing Jesus says to the gathered disciples on the night of His resurrection? "Jesus said to them, 'Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.'" How did the Father send Jesus? Well, we just saw in Mt 9 that the Father sent Jesus with the authority on earth to forgive sins. Now, Jesus sends out His disciples as the Father has sent Him...so, what authority must Jesus be sending His disciples out with? The authority on earth to forgive sins. And, just in case they didn't get it, verses 22-23 say this, "And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, 'Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.'"

Why would Jesus give the Apostles the power to forgive or to retain sins if He wasn't expecting folks to confess their sins to them? And how could they forgive or retain sins if no one was confessing their sins to them?

The Bible tells us to confess our sins to one another. It also tells us that God gave men the authority on Earth to forgive sins. Jesus sends out His disciples with the authority on earth to forgive sins. When Catholics confess our sins to a priest, we are simply following the plan laid down by Jesus Christ. He forgives sins through the priest...it is God's power, but He exercises that power through the ministry of the priest.

James 5:16
Confess therefore your sins one to another: and pray one for another, that you may be saved. For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much.

Ang meaning ani is kanang makasala kas imohang ka isig ka tawo mangayo ka niya ug pasaylo ....

James 5:14-15

Is any among you sick? Let him call for the presbyters [priests] of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; 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.

James 5:16
Confess therefore your sins one to another: and pray one for another, that you may be saved. For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much.

James 5:16

So admit your sins to each other, and pray for each other so that you will be healed. Prayers offered by those who have God's approval are effective.

Naka Study man ko ana bro katong nag before ko ning decide mag pa convert to Christian Churches ...

Ang explanation ana nga Verse is ug makasala kas imoha ka tawo mangayo jud ka ug pasaylo niya PARA ang tawo maulian sa iyaha gi bati nga guilty cia .... so the right Term ana para nako is Cured or healed ....

Dili sab puede mga mo ask ka forgiveness ni God diritso, ug katong tawo nga nakasala ka wala ka nangayo ug Pasaylo ... God will never accept your forgiveness ... diba ang order diha is Pray for each Other so both parties are envolved ..

What u think Bro...
