Yes.
And when I violate them, I confess my sins, receive absolution and do my penance.
And I am secure in my absolution.
I don’t pridefully absolve myself like you prots do.

Those of us who are Born Again and cleansed from sin have been not only “absolved” from sin, but set free and placed in Heavenly places.
By faith we are Saved!

So what about the multitude of sins you’ve committed, yet failed to include in your confessions to the stiff necked and uncircumcised at heart child molester in the turned around collar?
Not one single Christian claims to absolve ourselves of sin. 1 John 1:9 has been posted several times.
It is GOD who forgives us. We simply take Him at His word that He has done it in response to our confessing to Him.
It's called *faith*.
We don't call Him a liar by refusing to accept what He has told us.
How does that work; if you cannot be assured of your salvation?
I can’t make a personal attack against you because of what you typed.
But I’m thinking it.
I’ve seen people before that were such morons when it comes to ignoring their obvious failings. I called them “insane” but I’m not typing that you are insane.
So you're sure when man tells you you're forgiven but won't accept it when God tells you?
Goes to show who you are trusting for forgiveness.
It sounds awfully presumptuous of you to be sure of God's judgment before you die.
