You have given no posts were the apostles HEARD confessions and FORGAVE their sin...because there are none. .—......
10But one whom you forgive anything, I forgive also; for indeed what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, I did it for your sakesin the presence of Christ,
Not in the PLACE OF CHRIST..
“You have given no posts were the apostles HEARD confessions and FORGAVE their sin...because there are none.”
Let me remind you of your own words:
1) “What is interesting is there is NO RECORD of the apostles ever hearing confessions..”
Yet I showed you an Apostle saying he forgave someone in 2 Cor 2:10.
2) “And there were no individual confessions in the early church either until 1214 ...”
I pointed out you couldn’t even get the date right for your incorrect conclusion.
3) “So it appears that neither the apostles nor the ECF thought they could “forgive sin””
Except that I showed there were ECFs that did write about private confessions.
“Not in the PLACE OF CHRIST..”
PERSON of Christ, not PLACE. Again, just like with “1214”, you make an error which suggests you don’t even really know what you’re attacking. http://www.ourladyofloreto.org/RCIA/03_DOCTRINES/in_persona_christi.pdf
