[Salvation]

But you do agree that the Sacrament of Penance is mentioned in the Bible?

I can not debate what it was in the O.T but I find no plain scripture in the N.T that would convince me of that.

I will have to add a little to my last comment

John 20:21-23
21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

I can see that the verses above could be just what you say they are, that is confessing sins to a priest, but I can also see that it could mean nothing more than those sins against the apostles themselves.

And I also do not see any commandment for me to confess my sins to a priest, even if I could find a priest with that much time on his hands.
