5 And this is the message which we have heard from him and announce unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
7 but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
1 John 1

Do not think that I will not accuse you before the Father; your accuser is Moses, on whom you havve set your hope. If you believed Moses,you would believe me, for he wrote about me. But if you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say? John 5:45-47
Christ indeed came to be the bringer of eternal life, but so many people miss it. I am forever thankful that I have not missed that gift and have not rejected Christ.

The idea of confessing sins to achieve atonement was taken from Zoroaster by the Hebrews and passed on the the Christians.
It now is a mainstay of psychotherapy.
The mythological mumbo-jumbo is optional.

My point. People like these that have answered so far shouldn't be here at all. They have no concept of spirituality and little knowledge about the subject they attack so easily.. As if there were a reward for rude ignorant behavior.
You preach young person. You tell them the word of God and if we can't get them saved at least let them see the glory they are denying for their selves and their families.

Oh please. I am puzzled by the need for so many creationists to display their bible literacy, and their depth of accepting participation as well as their ignorance. Is there no other resource available to you to increase your reading skill?
