@SchloppyDoggo Bible literally says men have power to forgive sin
Acts 2:37-38
**Acts 2:37-38 - New King James Version (NKJV)**
```Dust
<37> Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Men and brethren, what shall we do?"<38> Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. ```
Acts 2:40
**Acts 2:40 - New King James Version (NKJV)**

A Vital Church Grows
<40> And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, "Be saved from this perverse generation." ```
Hello

Acts 2:41
**Acts 2:41 - New King James Version (NKJV)**

@Drake actually you’d be surprised. It’s more limited than we assume

Matthew 6:15
**Matthew 6:15 - Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)**
```Dust
<15> But if you will not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive you your offences. ```
the apostles were permitted to declare forgiveness consistent with what the Lord had determined
The apostles were permitted to forgive and retain sins
Psalms 137:1-9
Whoa what
Who did that
@TradChad thats what context it is in. YOU may forgive them, but their sin can only be washed away with the blood of Jesus.
thats a good fucking voice
verse*
I'm back
heh
@SchloppyDoggo yeah, and going to confession at a Catholic Church doesn’t wash away your sins in the sense that you won’t go to hell after you confess
So, any non religious people here?
Confession is part of the pathway to repentance and forgiveness
agreed
