21 He said therefore to them again: Peace be to you. As the Father hath sent me, I also send you.

22 When he had said this, he breathed on them; and he said to them: Receive ye the Holy Ghost.

23 Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them: and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained.

<> I can't figure out which parts of the Bible you do believe in, and why

I guess it must be YOPIOS. Have a nice day:)<>

This means of course that sins were forgiven in the name of Peter, or of Paul, or of James, or of John. If Peter forgives my sins then he is my righteousness. Or if Paul forgives my sins, then he is my righteousness. Or if catholicguy forgives my sins then you are my righteousness.

Interesting concept.
