Hey everyone, I just have a quick question for Catholic followers:
I just dont understand how I have to confess my sins through a priest. Shouldn't I just confess them directly to God, since He is the one that actually does the forgiving, not the priest? The Bible says that everyone is equal in the eyes of God. I am wondering why there are people that are presented to be better than I am to God, and THEY have to pray for MY forgiveness??? It just doesn't make sense.
The bible talks about Saul, and how he became a Christian after persecuting them for years. He didnt pray to someone else, but he cried out to the Heavens in confession himself. Are you denying that Saul (later known as Paul) was not truly saved because of not confessing through a priest?
I want to clarify that I am not bashing Priests, nor the Catholic faith here, just simply asking what makes some people better that I to God.
