What do you thing Epiousios means?
"communion in the literal terms the RCC places it in"
What is your objection to confessing to a priest based upon?
I don't believe there is any further needing of purging of our sin or punishment. By His stripes we are healed. Only bu His Blood our sins removed.
What do you thing Epiousios means?
What about Remembrance? The Lord's Supper or Communion is a set apart time a reenactment of what happened in The Upper Room. It is in a sense The Passover Feast. What is ingested isn't important meaning a wafer will suffice and a small portion of wine. The state of the heart during the observance however is highly important and should be focused upon. It is a time to reflect on Christ who's body took our sins and His blood which establishes the new Blood Covenant. Christ said "Do this in remembrance of me". Christ is already present in the church or anywhere two or more are gathered. 1 Corinthians 11 v 21-34 pretty much spells it out.
What is your objection to confessing to a priest based upon?
OK I reckon if you feel you must. But you see we already have a Priest each of us can confess to and pray to GOD directly in His name. What did Christ say about prayer and asking forgiveness of sin? How are we to pray? The first 15 verses of Matthew ch 6 tells us.
Now if a person commits a sin against the church as in stealing from it etc or causing gossip things like that? Yea a person should tell the preacher, Priest, etc.
On the other hand if I get mad and let out some rather not so nice words in a moment of anger etc I can immediately seeing my wrong ask The Lord myself for forgiveness.
But those are my beliefs and how I read & understand The Bible.
