Whoever does not embrace Christ will be doomed.

No church is not the savior, no matter how badly it wants to be.

To: GeronL

“No church is not the savior, no matter how badly it wants to be.”

Who said the following?:
“Whose sins you shall forgive they are forgiven; whose sins you shall retain they are retained.”

What does it mean for sins to be retained?

The church did not give itself power over the souls of men. It is not a matter of wanting to be the savior, it is a matter of a responsibility conferred upon priests by The Savior.
