There is one mediator between man and God, that is Jesus Christ.
Millions of non-Catholics, members of the catholic (universal Christian Church) church know that.
And also that the Bible says we (Christians) are all Priests.
I noticed up thread someone will get to go to confession in a couple of weeks.
He should not wait.
He can have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and talk to him, and confess his sins. Jesus will forgive him.
That’s so neat.
Here is an open thread, ask away.
There is one mediator between man and God, that is Jesus Christ.
Correct:First Epistle of St. Paul to Timothy, Chapter 2 Verse 5
For there is one God, and one mediator of God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.
Jesus’ death on the cross performed this mediation so that men could now be saved by Grace.
THEN: according to the bible (John 20:22-23)
Jesus breathed on the apostles, gave them the Holy Ghost, and gave them the power to remit sins. it is in the bible.
If Jesus had not wanted this to be the method for the remission of sins, why would he have done it this way?
Jesus IS the one mediator. He AS the mediator sent the Holy Ghost to the apostles and explained to them HOW to remit sins.
BOTH facts are true since they are BOTH in scripture - one does not negate the other.
