Wait...the priest INDEED forgives sins BUT God forgives your sins?
Makes no sense.
That’s because you look at the whole.
Catholics are TAUGHT to look at each piece separately, thereby avoiding logic problems.
What for it in the questions they ask you.
Parts are parts!
When you quote someone, use the entire quote...I said that the priest forgives sins through the power of God....pay real close attention, it is the power of God through which sins are forgiven. A judge sentences you to 30 years in prison....not because he doesn't like you...it is through the power of the state that he can do that....See?, real easy when you pay attention!!
