To answer your question, I only consider one my pastor if I have a personal relationship with him. But that was not my question to you. "How do you know you are not confessing your sins to a Pedophile?"

How do you know who these people are? How do you know you are not confessing your sins to a Pedophile?

If one of "our folks" abuses a child they are out of office! How about your abusers? Are they removed from a position of authority? That is the reason they get news coverage, it is always the cover up. If you guys would deal rightly with these people the news would go in your favor.

Lol. This is where you have no understanding of "born-again". Most criminals are not criminals while having been born-again. You have to realize that going to church or being a Catholic DOES NOT SAVE and DOES NOT mean one is saved. How about the KKK? Do you think they are saved because they SAY...

Only to the point that they taught the Scripture. Show me in the Scripture where Jesus said to listen to the Pharisees on any matter other than what was written in the Law. You cannot. If you want to compare Priest with the Pharisees then you must hold the Priest teaching to the WHOLE of what is...

You don't get it do you? EVERYONE is lost UNTIL they repent. AFTER they repent and receive the Holy Spirit they DO NOT murder any longer. Show me where Paul abused mankind AFTER he was saved!

You do error, not knowing the Scriptures, but rather you follow the traditions of men. 1Jo4:1 - "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." Matt 7:15 - "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in...

Adonia, What does this mean to you... Heb 10:12,14 - "But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;...For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified."

Do you see how your RCC tradition has no real meaning? It is all over the place, it has no guidance, it has abandoned the Word of God. It has become a "oh well, it is true for us Catholics, but everyone else is ok to follow something else". You have no Truth verses error. This is why you believe...

By what authority do you decide Christ must appear before me in order to absolve my sins? I do not follow any mystical mumbo jumbo but I do trust in the Word of God when God tells me... 1 John 1:9 - "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us...

Ok, then you agree a Christian has no need to go to a Catholic father to ask for forgiveness. One only needs to pray to Jesus Christ, our High Priest.

OK, so let's apply this belief to Christians around the world today and answer a question. If a Christian sins and does not go to a clergy to confess, but prays directly to Jesus Christ instead asking forgiveness, will this person receive the forgiveness of the sin?

Scripture is the only measure I use to interpret scripture. Here it is again.... Heb 10:12,14 - "But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;...For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified."

The answer as to when it is applied has been given and you have not even attempted to address it. Here it is again.... Heb 10:12,14 - "But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;...For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them...

OK, so let's apply this belief to Christians around the world today and answer a question. If a Christian sins and does not go to a clergy to confess, but prays directly to Jesus Christ instead asking forgiveness, will this person receive the forgiveness of the sin?

Did you mean to say "by grace through faith in Christ"? 1) Because it is found nowhere in the scriptures. 2) It robs Jesus Christ of His glorious work completed upon the cross. Heb 10:12,14 - "But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of...

I have been following these conversations between DHK and Herbert, Adonia, and Utilyan. Dozens of times two questions put to the Catholics has yet to be answered. 1) How does one become born-again? 2) Where is the evidence from the Scriptures that Jesus Christ instituted the RCC? I have read...

I don't think he was asking about the experience you have, but rather about the time you first received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour? You may have heard of Him for years, even from a young age, but when did you call upon Jesus Christ to save you and invite Him to dwell in you?

But you do not see anything about a "personal relationship" with another in those definitions. Religion CANNOT and DOES NOT save. This I believe you as a Catholic can not agree with for you being a Catholic would have to say it is the RCC which saves.

Goes to show you how applying questions to your pov reveals your flaws in that pov. For you to answer is to destroy your position, yet you will refuse to answer and cling to it anyways, even though you see how the questions have exposed the error in your pov.
