To whom do y'all confess your sins that violate any of the first three Commandments?

And have any of you retained the others's sins?

God.

No. If someone comes to me and confesses something wrong, I forgive them.

Indeed, believers are commanded to do so. To *retain* sin is not an option given to believers.

FWIW, nobody is capable of confessing each and every sin they ever commit. Some are committed that we are not aware of and some are forgotten.

That’s the beauty of God’s forgiveness. It forgives ALL the sins we commit and ever will commit. We are delivered from the consequences of our sin. He doesn’t hold them against us because He doesn’t HAVE to. They have been paid for.

Once we’ve trusted Christ and He is free to deal with us how He wants to in love instead of how He must because of justice.

God is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in stead fast love. He does not deal with us according to our sin or repay us according to our iniquities.

You poor soul, you ask, we answer, you ignore, and repeat your foolishness. Why not stop this ridiculous effort at gotcha and just talk with the Lord. He is faithful AND Just, so He is waiting for you to turn to Him, not your ‘religion’.
