Confession

Are there sins which require confession or is that just a Catholic invention?
Well, let’s ask the bible.

Matthew 9:1-8. (Note verse 8).
Mark 2 : 5 -12 (Note verse 10)

Then John 20 : 19 – 23 (Note verses 21 – 23).

Then 1 John 1 : 9 says if we confess our sins to God, he will forgive!

Therefore, the Catholics are the ones who created confession, right?

Just read the same 1 John 5 : 16 – 17.
(Oh, You didn’t know it was written in the bible.)

Now my question is, if they should not be prayed about directly to God, then how will they be forgiven?

CONFESSION!!!!!

Saint Paul said this plainly in 2 Corinthians 5 : 17 – 20.
(Verse 19)”…… He hath placed in us the word of reconcilation.”
And that is exactly what confession is.
The sacrament of RECONCILATON to God.

Or maybe I’m more stupid than I thought and those verses are not in the bible.
