Add to that list, confession to a priest.
If you believe that Christ died on the cross for every past, present, and future sin, and have accepted Christ as your personal savior. He became the conduit between you and God for forgiveness.
When I left the Catholic Church, I discussed this with the Father of that church. All he could tell me was that it gave older parishioners comfort to confess to a Priest. What a load of rubbish. Deny the sacrifice of Christ for comfort?
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
I agree that all of what the author said has bothered me as well, and perhaps his words will have unintended consequences.
Maybe you should check out his teachings, then.
Agreed!
