please....
then they go ahead and sin more....like Clintoon....
although Catholic confession is not public, it is lowering yourself to another human being and saying out loud your sins...acknowledging your sins...
but I suppose just talking to God in the privacy of your home would be easier...and you wouldn't want the public to know that you actually sin...no ,not that...
Without repentance, there is no reconciliation with God, whether you are Catholic, Protestant, or whatever. So why bring up examples of people who are clearly unrepentant to attack other beliefs? They are not representative of anyone but themselves.
I’m sure there are many Catholics who just go to confession, and continue sinning as well. Would you admit that as proof that your own ritual has no power?
And like you...And like me...Apparently the difference between you (Catholic) and me (non Catholic) is that I acknowledge that I sin and I always will sin until the Lord takes me home...Apparently y'all quit sinning at some point in time...Or, you just quit calling sin what it is...
often I see nondenominational Christians forgiving themselves...like those looney tv evangelist...openly crying on tv about asking God for forgiveness....
Apparently too, this is a foreign concept to you...That God forgives sin...You just posted that these people ask God to forgive their sins but you then say these people are forgiving themselves...
