The Roman Church uses a booth called a confessional where a person can go in to confess their sins to the priest in church and receive forgiveness. The problem is only God can forgive sins (Luke 5:21). This was the problem people had with Jesus. They correctly identified it as blasphemy for anyone to claim to forgive sins except God. They failed to recognize that Jesus was God. The good news today is that “If we confess our sins (to God), He (God) is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). Ministers and priests may be helpful in connecting with God but beware of false wolves wearing sheepskins and claiming authority they don’t have. God Bless!
