Doesn't this sound so lame to you?

Why can't you ask God directly for forgiveness?

Why must it be thru a priest who, in some cases, even has worse sins than yours?

The simple truth is that most of you catholic faithfuls are just blindly following the traditions of the church.


It does sound lame to you because you lack Understanding about it. sad

Of course, a Christian can always confess directly to God.

But confessing to a Priest means communicating your sinful habits to a Third Party
Which could help you turn away from them.πŸ€”πŸ™‚

Just like in Psychology, it is said Relating your Addictions e.g. Smoking, Taking of Marijuana, fornication, pornography,
etc to a Third party helps you to overcome them.πŸ€¨πŸ™‚

So Dat's the idea behind Confession by the Catholic Church.

Catholic Church is a Whiteman's institution and whiteman always know wetin dem dey do.πŸ˜—πŸ™‚

This was how I went to seek advice from a pastor friend of mine. The next Sunday I went to his church to worship, he didn't know I was in the congregation. This dude used my predicament to preach, though he didn't mention my name. He poured out everything I said word for word. Right from that day I stopped going to any pastor for advise.

Wow.. so sorry about this. That's what these pastors now do. They lack the intelligence to prepare a proper and convincing sermon, so they resort to using people's stories to pad their sermons and buttress their points. It's saddening

I think that practice has stopped. Civilization has taken over. I used to wonder why someone will confess his sins to another fellow, who would now decide whether your sins would be forgiven or Not. It's funny.
Well, all doctrines of men would crash, only the word of God will Prevail.
Happy Sunday, someone should pls in God's name help with four thousands pls. My survival is largely dependent on this through God. Pls pls people
Point of correction man doesn't forgive sin, according to Catholic doctrine you confess your sins to reverend father. and after your confession reverend father gives the confessor penance and some prayers to pray, and he will pray for you.... hoping God forgives you, your sins.....
Every church has there own doctrines...it's only God that knows who is perfect....it's only God that forgives sin

Oga catholic church weren't founded by the apostles!!!!! Catholic church has been in existence before Christ and his apostles came!!!! No dey cap carelessly again!

You earlier said catholic practice Christianity laid down by Jesus Christ, and I asked you where in the Bible did Jesus Christ asked you to pray to your priests to forgive u your sin? Or ask Mary to intercede for you? You said it has biblical backup? Oya show us where Jesus Christ said it in the Bible?

Dude you're just confusing yourself aswear, you should read your bible properly! Read the old testament very well, the laws of Moses and it practices. Then read the New testament and know the reason why Christ came! Oga Christ came to abolish those laws catholic are currently practicing and to intercede and reconcile man to God (not Mary interceding for you, because a dead forgotten woman cannot intercede for you) na the old testament law of Moses catholic still dey practice! That's exactly how catholic came about practicing the laws of Moses! E dey your bible. Read am! Go read Deuteronomy and Leviticus. No dey argue blindly again! Seriously catholics and Jehovah witness are the people i can never engage in a conversation with. They've been brainwashed by their priests and teachers!

If you don't come up with biblical quotation supporting your claims, (the normal bible, not catholic bible) then Na my last response to you be this!

U lack biblical knowledge, honestly. sad

Otherwise, how can you say Catholic Church existed in the old testament B4 the birth of Christ? shocked πŸ˜•

I have already told you that, that old testament Religion of Moses and Elijah is what represented JUDAISM of today.

JUDAISTS do NOT believe in Jesus Christ as the Messiah, S
Just like You saw the Pharisees and Sadducees who were always referring to Moses and Abraham. They were JUDAISTS, not christiansπŸ˜πŸ˜”

Catholicism started like 50-100 years after the Death of Christ.

As Years and Centuries went, those doctrines e.g. Praying the Rosary, Calling the saints in Prayer, confession, etc
came up to checkmate Sinful lifestyles of members and force them to be Close to God.πŸ€¨πŸ™‚

Just get a Good understanding, ok?

I was in a Catholic Church for child dedication last Sunday, the priest was busy preaching Catholicism instead of the gospel, he was almost begging the congregation to go for confession, that they don't expose what they hear.

Though he was saying that to encourage the members to partake in the holy communion. Apparently, you're not supposed to partake in the holy communion without going for confession that week or so.

I'm not catholic, but I know that catholic confession may after all not be extra-biblical. James wrote about it, he said to confess your faults one to another. So that could be part of the basis they make their confessions.

In that case, you are a mumu who is just learning work as far as atheism is concerned. The theory of evolution of man from a primate to modern human being called homo sapiens is the foundation of Darwinian theory of evolution.
Even amongst your fellow atheists you will be considered a dimwit🀣


Evolution does not say that.

According to evolutionary theory, the Primate group evolved from a common ancestor, which in turn evolved from a proto-mammal that may have arisen towards the age of the dinosaurs....

We did not evovle from monkeys, and we are, infact, primates. Not as hairy as other primates, but primates nevertheless.

Guy, this is not about over sabi.

Let's call a spade a spade.

All what religion does is to:

give you false promises,
teach fallacies as the truth,
divide people into groups and make them fight each other,
encourage people to believe what they are told rather than to think for themselves thereby creating a brainwashed society of minions,

and of course...

make massive money for the 'leaders' or 'owners' of the church, etc

You are thinking a practice has stopped because civilization set in. I wonder how you practice your kind of Christianity. Is it not the same Bible that you use with Catholics? When I say Christianity is a sham I think you have proven me right.
The Bible gave the the apostle the power to forgive sins and withhold sins.
A sin committed is not just against God but against man as well. If I steal your car, it doesn't just affect you. It will affect your activities, your family, your movement and that's the reason why you need to make confessions if you are truly remorseful. Civilization has not put food on your table rather it has taken more from you. Just let everyone be and don't always sound stup!d on issues beyond you
