How about whose sins you shall forgive they are forgiven, whose sins you shall retain, they are retained..........what do you imagine that Christ was talking about??? it explains the Sacrament of reconciliation EXACTLY....

No it doesn't because sherry picking a phrase out of context to support a doctrine is a tactic of the enemy. Take some Scripture out of context and make a doctrine out of it by adding a little bit of the truth with a whole bunch of lie.

There's no where in Scripture that gives any man the authority to forgive sins on God's behalf. We can only forgive what has been sinned against us. We can't forgive a person for their sins against another.

Which is the reason that priests can't forgive sin committed against God. The sin have to be confessed to God, and HE is the one who then forgives. The priest is not God and was not sinned against that ha can forgive it.
