>>Again you don’t answer questions, just reply with out of context quotes.<<

I answered your questions with scripture ADSUM. You asked questions I showed where from scripture those questions are answered.

>>the Catholic Church that was founded by Jesus<<

The Catholic Church was NOT founded by Jesus. There is NO WAY that Jesus or the apostles taught the inclusion of paganism like is found in Catholicism.

>>Forgiveness of sins from Catholic answers:<<

And it's total nonsense. I showed you in my last post that "all sins are forgiven". The priests or magisterium do NOT have an options on which sins are either more serious or not forgiven.

>>We find confessing to a priest was accepted as part of the original deposit of faith handed down from the apostles.<<

Please show where the apostles taught that sins needed to be confessed to them.

>>Yes. Christ is with us in the Eucharist (Real Presence).<<

Then the christ you proclaim was a sinner by eating blood and encouraging others to do so which was against the law.

Your comment: “Forgiveness of sins from Catholic answers:

Again if one seeks the Truth, instead of an out of context quote that is not the full Truth, one could begin to understand the words of God. Your answers seem to ignore the words of Jesus that do not support your religious viewpoint.

Again from Catholic answers:
Note that the power Christ gave the apostles was twofold: to forgive sins or to hold them bound, which means to retain them unforgiven. Several things follow from this. First, the apostles could not know what sins to forgive and what not to forgive unless they were first told the sins by the sinner. This implies confession. Second, their authority was not merely to proclaim that God had already forgiven sins or that he would forgive sins if there were proper repentance.
Such interpretations don’t account for the distinction between forgiving and retaining—nor do they account for the importance given to the utterance in John 20:21–23. If God has already forgiven all of a man’s sins, or will forgive them all (past and future) upon a single act of repentance, then it makes little sense to tell the apostles they have been given the power to “retain” sins, since forgiveness would be all-or-nothing and nothing could be “retained.”
Furthermore, if at conversion we were forgiven all sins, past, present, and future, it would make no sense for Christ to require us to pray, “And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors,” which he explained is required because “if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father also will forgive you; but if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses” (Matt. 6:12–15).
>>Yes. Christ is with us in the Eucharist (Real Presence).<<

Your comment: ”Then the christ you proclaim was a sinner by eating blood and encouraging others to do so which was against the law”

Again you offer your personal unrealistic opinion (contrary to the explicit words of Jesus) based on the Jewish laws of the old covenant (previous post) and not the New Covenant that Jesus Christ proclaimed and stated that He would always be with us in the Eucharist.
