You guys don't even bother confessing your, what you consider little sins...Apparently sins and their confession aren't all that important to you guys...
The bible doesn't suggest we go to any man to confess our sins...But it DOES tell us to go to God and confess our sins and he WILL forgive us...
Do think your weekly, monthly or yearly confession of sins to a mere man is more efficacious than going to the Throne and confessing daily or more to the God of Creation???
And the matter is hardly just actual sins. The actual sins (the ones we’re aware of) are just part of our sinfulness, and sinful attitudes. They are to remind us that we aren’t good, and never have been, and despite our “working on it” (which will produce pride, for sure), we are still that same sinner, in the flesh. We are still sinning, if only more subtly and less noticeably to ourselves and others. Any grace we have is from God. Our true prayer should always be along the humble lines of the publican who cried out, “God be merciful to me, a sinner!” When we credit ourselves anything, even that we deserve credit for being sorry for our sins, then we start to see ourselves as better than others, as the Pharisee in the parable did.
