You said,
“there is no reference to sin”
To which I answered,
“What would cause someone to be bound or loosed in heaven”.
To which you replied.
“Their actions”.
Which I will reply,
“Do their actions include sins?”
I already answered your question.
Another non answer to the questions I asked.
I posted scripture that shows Jesus requiring Peter to forgive the sin of another brother against him/Peter when asked and how that pertains to binding and loosing.
One would think that a Catholic would have the verses I asked for at their finger tips being that would be the only scripture their confession to a priest instead of God could be based on.
I hope this conversation makes you realize you and I have the same requirement. It was never meant for just Peter, the apostles and/or their successors. We, as believers, have to forgive to be forgiven.
Thanks for the conversation. If you find the verses that will answer my questions, please Freep Mail them to me.
God bless you. BVB
