As if we have to go through some earthly emmisary for forgiveness of our sins when Christ is waiting to hear our every thought.

John 20:
19
On the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.”
20
When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. 13 The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
21
14 (Jesus) said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.”
22
15 And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the holy Spirit.
23
16 Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.”
It sure looks like it. Is this another missing portion of Reformed theology?
Isn’t that the truth. That was one thing that bothered my husband, the ex-catholic. Why go to mere man when you have the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, bending His ear to you for you to speak to Him personally?
