I believe that we as Christians far too often fail to confess our sins to one another, as the Scripture exhorts us to do. Satan can pick us off and divide us from the fellowship with other believers in Jesus. I am not part of the Roman Church, but beyond what I said before, I will respectfully be silent on their beliefs regarding this issue.

**It’s interesting that nowhere does James (or Jesus) tell us to confess our sins to God alone. Rather, they seem to think that forgiveness comes through some means of public confession.**

BTTT again!

Forget Catholic beliefs for a minute. We got a whole little gaggle of alcoholics here who need to try out the 12 steps, especially step 5.
