Hi my name is Monique. God led me out of Protestantism since three weeks after 39 years in it. I am back to my roots which is the Catholic church. Yesterday I was struggling with confession as I had in my head the same question that this man asked you. God led me to your video. Thank you so much for this preaching. I am so grateful and blessed. I have so many wrong teachings in my head which need to be washed away. I am watching a lot of your videos and others. Thank you for your ministry. Greatly appreciated. May God bless you all. 🙏
Love it! Welcome back!! 🎉🎉
Amen!
Welcome back! Don't forget to follow the stories of saints. You have the same name as my daughter. My wife and I named her after St. Monica of Hippo. ✝️🛐
God didn't lead you out of anything you did yourself. Catholicism isn't going to save or religion. You must be born again accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. That I the only way. John 3:3 Verily Verily I say unto thee unless a man is born again he cannot enter the kingdom of God. Matthew 16:24-26 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
@@Mr.10X. Catholicism doesnt save. You must be born again. John 3:3. Matthew 16:24-26 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Because without an intermediary with authority, each sinner becomes his own confessor and judge.
Yes never thought about it that way. Thank you 🙏
Very nice! Thank you!
Well said
Could you provide me the scripture that says that an intermediary with authority is required
Good argument
Our old parish priest explained it for us, ordinary church goers in the most blunt way.
"The protestants say that you can confess your sins directly to God.. Yeah, this is also taught by the church. Pray the act of contrition before going to sleep"
"The question is did HE forgive you? Really? How did you know?"
"Do you think we, the priests, enjoy listening over and over again about the craps you did?"
"Why do we hear confession then? Because Christ COMMANDED us to hear them and to relay HIs forgiveness"
"This is how we know we are forgiven"
I remember after that homily, I have made it a habit to go to confession unlike before when I did go once in a blue moon.
This is why many people are going to Hell because they reject the truth and think religion will save them. Jesus said many will say to me on this day Lord Lord haven't I done many works in your name, cast out demons and he will save I never knew you. You must be born again. John 3:3 Verily Verily I say unto thee unless a man is born again he cannot enter the kingdom of God. Matthew 16:24-26 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
@@RichardMizenko Religion, from the Latin word "religare' meaning to bind again.
Why bind again? You see the bible is categorized into Old Testament and the New Testament. The bottom line of both is the covenant between God and His people.
So to ignore the part of religion in the process of salvation is to ignore the system that ensure the covenant is in place. Exactly what the devil wants- downplay religion and people are easily led astray.
@@DadoMac What does the Bible say about religion? What does Jesus say about Heaven. I go by the Bible the end allbe all not what you say or think. Jesus Christ said unless you are born again sealed with Holy Spirit you will not enter Heaven. You will be going to Hell unless you repent change your mind and way of living turn from sin and unbelief to belief in Christ alone. Roman Catholic church departed from the truth in 500's A.D to worshipping Mary and praying to her and dead saints which the Bible condemns in 1st and 2nd Commandment. Jesus rebuked the very religious people the pharisees who thought there self righteousness and good deeds would get then into Heaven. Isaiah 64:6 talks about our righteousness is filthy rags to God.
@@RichardMizenko There you go, you claim to be 'born again'- a term coined by southern baptist in the 1960's Can you handle the truth? That term was just a few decades ago. Just because the bible mention born again doesn't mean it refers you. Proof? You false pastors taught you the wrong way to be born again, not the bible way.
You ask what the bible say about religion. The word is mentioned a lot of times and I find this one interesting:
"Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless" I'm sure you will dwell on the negativity- that's what you ae known for to fit your narrative. But in truth, the verse confirms the fact that religion is the system that sees to it the covenant is being followed.
I bet if I were to ask, "What is the pillar of truth?" You'd probably answer it was the bible. Well no, it's The Church, per 1 Timothy 3:15. Jesus came to establish a Church, not a bible reading system. The Bible didn't exist for a long time after Jesus. Lets get back to the Church he founded, which has the infallible Word of God, which has the teachings of The Apostles which are binding here on Earth as in Heaven, and is the only church which offers true Worship to God, which is the sacrifice of the Lamb of God, Jesus, truly present in the Holy Eucharist. Christ is the head and the body is the church, you can't have one without the other. Since Protestants split away, they've been a thousand different bodies living outside the head of Christ. Incomplete and not united. He wishes us to be as one, as He and the Father are one, John 17: 21-23. Worship is not bible study, you can do that from home, worship in the Bible has always been a sacrifice, since the time of Cain and Able, to Moses, to David, to The Acts of The Apostles. The question is, what church offers an unblemished sacrifice as worship to God? The Catholic Church. Which one has Jesus as the head of it's body? The Catholic Church. What is the Pillar of Truth per the Bible? The Church!!!
I love listening to _this_ kind of Bible page-flipping teaching. I've sat through various Protestant services trying to keep up with the page flipping, and wasn't getting any connection from one verse to the next. But this makes total sense because it's one solid topic.
Protestant services are satanic because protestant’s are NOT Christian! You have the holy Catholic Church. You have 48,000 protestant CULTS
According to saint peter , all believers are a royal priesthood. So, should people also confess their sins to us?
According to the book of hebrews , the priesthood who offers sacrifices to God for this sins of the people was done away with.
So, this teaching is out of context. We are told to confess our sins to one another. The priest don't confess they're sins to us.
The priests go to confession too- they go to another priest. Let's be honest-would we really confess our misdeeds to each other publicly?
@agnesbarber4035 Descripters tell us to confess our sin to one another. In the body of true believers, there is no shame or condemnation.
I confess my sins to brothers and sisters in christ that I trust. And we pray for one another.
This still doesn't take a weird fact that the priesthood has been changed and there are no more priests to offer sacrifice/the mass for sins. This should show you that your religion, Go it has biblical truth as the quarn does, it leave no room for the gasple of salvation by grace through faith.
@agnesbarber4035 so you reject God's word for man's traditions. Remember when the Lord jesus said to the phrases, " You nullify the word of God for your tradition. Let us not be like them.
Monique again, I am learning a lot from your videos because when I was a Catholic in my youth I never read the Bible and never really learnt anything. I am an elderly French lady living in Australia now. I believe there are a lot of people like me. Continue this great work of teaching what the Catholic church believe. I was taught a lot of lies in Protestant churches. 🙏
There’s NO such thing as protestant churches they are protestant CULTS ONLY Jesus can found a Church
It’s protestant CULTS NOT churches
Padre Pio bore the wounds of Jesus. He sat on the confessional for hours to hear confession. In my youth I also bought to the "confess directly to God". May God have mercy on me.
Very well explained. Thanks Tim! God bless your ministry.
I would also add it wasn't even a new concept to the apostles because the law of Moses already mandated jews to confess their sins to their priest and make a sin offering sacrifice to obtain the pardon of their sins (See Leviticus 5:5-6).
As Jesus said, he didn't come to abolish the law but to fulfill it; and the sacrament of confession is the fulfillment. So with his death and resurrection he wasn't going to abolish the role of priesthood, but elevate it
Awesome Tim; especially the reference to Act 19:18 - another Biblical arrow for Catholic defense !
I'm supprised I never saw that before
@@theohill6372it’s because Satan blinds protestant’s to the truth
I don't understand protestants... don't they follow the bible? Jesus said to the apostles...
John 20: 20-23
"After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.
Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.”
And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”
If they have a different interpretation from this literal meaning.. then aren't they the one "adding" to scripture? 😅
Protestants don't read the Bible
Great job!
Question: When Protestant Pastors perform baptism, do they do it by their own power or claim God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) working through them?
If the latter, and God works through the Pastor for baptism, why is it so difficult for them to understand God works through Priests to forgive sin in sacrament of Confession? As specifically presented in scripture.
It’s inconsistent.
Home run clear answer
BEST explanation I’ve heard thus far 🙌🏻
May the Lord bless you throughout all your days
this is gold. How come I never knew saint Paul forgave sins??
Jesus paid the price for our sins but they are not yet forgiven. Baptism erases the stain of original sin and any sins already committed. After Baptism any sins committed have to be forgiven. Jesus gave his apostles and their successors the authority to forgive sins in his name "Whose sins you forgive, they are forgiven." This is Scriptural. This authority has been passed down, and by the Sacrament of Holy Orders is carried on by the Priests in the Church.
The clearest explanation that I’ve ever heard. Protestants denied Christ by not accepting the divine authority.
I refuse to be gullible
@@TimSpangler-rd6vs to be a christian is to be like christ and to be holy like God.
Whose divine Authority?
God’s
Or
The Catholic Church’s
One has Authority, the other is just another human organization claiming to be special.
@@GhostBearCommander@GhostBearCommander You are bound by Sola Scriptura. He gave you the explanation from the Scripture that you are looking for. So why do you reject it? True, as you reject the Church authority, you reject Christ Himself.
The catholic Church made the bible @GhostBearCommander
Tim Staples quoting the Bible like a Protestant, but applying it like a Catholic -
AMEN! Great explanation. Sad our PROTESTant brothers and sisters deny themselves such a great SACRAMENT! Such peace after confession.
The priest told was done away with according to the book of hebrews. Have you not read it?
Jesús appointed Peter the head of the church- Jesus gave us the Sacrament of heaven Confession and the apostles were all priests. Take it up with HIM! Paul warned the people to take the mass seriously- it wasn’t a dinner. I’ve read the Bible and TRADITION as well, how about you?
@@redeemed7868leave your man made protestant CULT.
@@maryannstypa4859excellent response. I’ve told that person to leave there man made protestant CULT
Protestant’s are NOT our so called separated brother’s and sister’s because they are NOT Christian!
God bless you all
Excellent explanation, Tim.
Beautiful! Thanks for all you do, Tim!
I love Mother Angelina's answer......with the same senses we sin, we need to hear with those same senses we're absolved of our sins in order to be satisfied/healed and move on. If we don't hear those words then they're a doubt. This is created by God perfectly to help us. God knows our weaknesses and this is a gift from God.
Wonderful explanation. Thank you 🙏
The absolute best explanation ive heard and under 10 minutes too
You nailed it! The best explanation ever!
More power to you!
Good job explaining the reason why we catholics confess our sins to priest. Hopefully, people of other religion we’ll be enlightened about confession
Great work, well said and delivered 👏 Live Jesus our love and Mary our hope!
Powerful video! Thank you Brother!
Great answer! Thank you for sharing this video with all of us.
Thanks for the explanation, and for being respectful toward Protestants unlike a lot of the people in this comment section. I think the issue is more complex than both sides make it appear, and there are very intelligent theologians on both sides. It is very difficult for ordinary Christians like me to discern. I pray for God’s mercy and guidance for all of us. Would love to hear the Orthodox perspective on this topic as well. God bless ✝️
What a great explanation!
Really appreciate this video..
I find it amazing today and comforting regarding God, that everyone is looking for answers.
‘’Imagine your self in the time of, before a word was written.’’
In Greek, and what was spoken from, and telling you to be aware.
From Hebrew/ Aramaic/ Greek/ the word lord being added, the letter j as being not of alphabet.
Gods name being replaced by lord, and changing the son’s real name.
(is GOD testing all of us)
Yes God did changed the language, and so did the Jewish high priest because they don’t want you to know his real name, a fight still to this day.
I knew when a young boy after completing ccd, after I went to confession something didn’t feel right.
And now I know why, YeHoVah in Yeshua’s name. 🙏
Because we need humility to accept the penance for our Absolution, otherwise we are stuck with our own frail human arrogance and ego with an irreverent mindset against God, feeling we do not need correction because we are left to our own human devices
The catholic Church teaches many things that are NOT in line with the Holy Scriptures
As a Roman Catholic my eyes were opened to the hypocrisy in the catholic churches and amongst catholic Church goers
Only Jesus can save and provide forgiveness for our sins
He alone is our High Priest as the book of Hebrews declares
Selah
Shalom
Jesus dying for our sins, forgave our sins & opened the way to heaven, however, reparations for our sins are still required. Read Jn 20:23 Jesus instituted confession
Spot on 🙏🏾🌹
I was listening to the Exorcist Files and the priest said that one confession is worth more than a hundred exorcisms… let that sink in for a moment. Go to confession!!!
Also, you left out Jame 5:16 that tells us to “confess our sins to one another.”
Can you remember it all?
Clearly explained. Thank you 🙏🏾.
Amen
Great explanation
Brilliant explanation!
Drop the mic. Great answer. If people want to be “Biblical”, they need to follow amd accept all of the Bible, including the passages Tim describes here.
The queation is not whether someone can spin passages in the Bible to support their view. Anyone can do that. But at some point, you really have to ask yourself why spin what Jesus said. Protestantism does that over and over. John 6 being a prime example. The passages Tim quotes here being still more. The part in James on “faith alone” being another. Someone can reject these passages, but cant do so while credibly being “Biblical.”
I mean this sincerely, but how do Protestants reconcile scripture when Jesus commands the Apostles to forgive/retain sins? Did that practice and authority simply die with the Apostles? Of course not. It's been passed down to our priests. But I'd like to hear from Protestants.
The Protestants I've asked have told me that it's a commission that binds _all_ Christians. So they believe that each one of them has the authority to forgive with authority. Sorry that's explained clumsily, but that's it in a nutshell.
I have been told this is them forgiving sins against only themselves.
If you sinned against me I can forgive that sin against me.
At least this is one excuse I have been told.
@@kimfleurySo if I were to rob my neighbor, I'd have to be forgiven by my neighbor? And then just ask God for forgiveness and I'd be on my way?
And how many of us go to our 'neighbor' and say -sorry, I've been sleeping with your wife and the response is-oh, thanks for telling me, I forgive you. And all is well. And how many people in the world, actually tell God what they have done and ask forgiveness and make a firm resolution to not do it again.? Or do We just ask God to forgive us and commit the same sins over and over again?
If you are sincerely interested, I would recommend researching some prominent Protestant theologians and hearing their perspective. They can probably explain it better than a TH-cam comment section lol
Exactly!
John 15:26-27 King James Version (KJV)
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: and ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
Yes, I found the what the Catholic Church teaches in KJV, & I wasn't raised in church so I'm counting blessings
Protestants don’t also believe in the intercession of our prayers to our Saints and Mary. But as you go to the Bible, this happened in the wedding in Cana. The first miracle of Jesus before His ministry started, what our Blessed Mother told to her son that the family of the bride ran out of wine. Jesus told to his mother, “My hour is not yet come, but Mary told to the servers, do as what He told you.” And Jesus listened to His mother and perform a miracle, turning water into wine.
We believed in our Blessed Mother when Jesus was hanging on the cross and He told to John, “Son (referring to John) this is your Mother, Woman (referring to Mary) this is your Son.” In this commandment before Jesus’ last hour He told us to recognize Mary as our Blessed Mother and also Mary to be our universal Mother and Mother of the Catholic and Apostolic Church.
Of all Christian Churches , there are less suicides in the Catholic church because of confession
You have the holy Catholic Church. You have 48,000 protestant CULTS NOT churches. Protestant’s are NOT Christian. Protestant so called baptism IS INVALID.
That is so good. Jesus did it 2,000 yrs ago. Why should we do it today? Our sins were already forgiven so no need for Jesus to reforgive our sins today by dying again!
Jesus dying for our sins, forgave our sins & opened the way to heaven, however, reparations for our sins are still required. Read Jn 20:23 Jesus instituted confession
If you used a pastor to get married, why wouldn't you confess your sins to a priest?
Repentance is the key
Because Jesus specifically, "Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven, and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained" Check it out
It is humbling to tell another of our sins...this is a path to becoming humbled. Also, we can't guve ourselves absolution.
The protestants are all proud for protesting Christ's way he left us. They followed the Anti-Christ's way. The disobedient, lukewarm Catholics did the same...the highly religious also! Matt 7:21 says "Only those that do the will of the Father will enter the kingdom of heaven!" So...why are all the others going to Church and praying to Jesus? They want things, they want their will and the entire faith is about GOD'S WILL!
A parishioner can confess his sins to the prist but its Christ who forgives sins.
We are called to repent - Scripture says this over and over. From the beginning of his ministry, Jesus began preaching the gospel, saying “repent and believe in the gospel” (Mark 1:14-15). The apostle Paul also tells us: “Do not be deceived; neither the immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 6:9-10).
Unfortunately many just want to step into their own closet and forgive themselves.
Jesus saves us baptized with The Holy Spirit & Holy Water from original sin. Sins committed after Baptism have to be confessed, we have to receive absolution & Penance to serve to be forgiven by God. That’s why He instituted the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession). The Priest is in persona Christi when enacting Gods Sacraments. God exhorts through His Priests.
2 Cor 5:18-20, Jn 20:21-23, Mt 9:8, 16:18-19, 18:17-18.
If we die in mortal sin, we chose to be separated from God. He honors our choices for eternity. There’s no hope left.
If we die in Venial sin, we have to be purged of it to enter Heaven, as nothing impure can enter. Purgatory is a complete cleansing of our souls on the way to Heaven.
1 Cor 3:15, Mt5:25-26, 1 Pet 3:18-20, 1 Jn 5:16-17, Jn 19:11, Rev 21:27, 2 Macc 12:43-46
Very good. I do wish he would have started with Leviticus and the Hebrew sin offerings which laid a conceptual foundation to confessions. Confessions were not necessarily foreign to the Hebrews.
So the Church has the authority to treat believers as "pagans or tax collectors" when they are in error, and they won't listen to anyone even the Church. The Apostles encouraged us to confess our sins to one another. So...
Being honest and confessing sins done in secret to a Church authority goes with those two things I just mentioned. Also, the scripture says, "Whoever sins YOU forgive, they are forgiven. Whoever sins YOU retain, they are retained."
Jesus gave this authority.
Protestant here. I don't doubt for a second that a Priest can assist with a confessional to Christ for sins. I just dont believe it's necessary. I don't think there is a right or a wrong way to do it. I just prefer to go straight to the source. After reading comments, I'm really not sure which Protestant Churches some people have been to. As for my Church, thete are a lot of similarities to a Catholic Church. We are baptized, confirmed, take part in communion, believe in the Virgin Mary, believe in the Holy Trinity, repent of sins, believe we are saved by Grace. We even recite the Apostles Creed. Thete are many differences, don't get me wrong. But we can agree in a Savior at least cant we?
I would also point out two other things. I'm james 5, jame wrote to coffess our sins to one another but only after the priests arrive. In the Didache (first Christian catechism), Christians were taught to confess prior to recieving the Eucharist. The full title of the Didache is the "Teachings of the Apostles." I postulate in Acts 2 when Christians decoted themselves to the teachings of the Apostles, they were reading from the Didache.
Catholic NAB Bible: 1 John 1:7, “But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, then we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of his Son Jesus cleanses us from all sin.” Why does Mr. Staples keep repeating this verse wrong by saying “continues to cleanse us from all sin?”
Probably to bring out the sense of the verb being used: simple present. The simple present is an action that is occurring right now. So, the blood of Jesus cleanses us right this second, and this is so every moment of every day, both in the past and in the future until the end of time. HTH! 🙂
5 Non Negotiable How To Vote ✝️🇺🇸
Yes we know the Apostles got power to forgive Sin and other mircles yet no word from God that gift was passed through succession of leaders or Bishops. In fact, we know there were many wicked Popes and Bishops in history. I have yet to witness and Bishop or elders doing miracles like the. Apostles.
God alone can forgive sin, you can forgive some one who has sinned against you but they still sinned against God and the He alone has forgiven. When the blood of Jesus is the perfect sacrifice - and then we still need to confession are we truly forgiven or do we still have to pay for mass for my parents in purgatory?
If they bought indulgences are they still in purgatory, after doing all that the church commanded and sacraments etc, attending the mass etc?
Can any one give me the price to get my parents out of purgatory, I would sell everything I have if one priest can just give me the price. Or is Psalm 49:7&8 true?
Difference between Melchizedek style priesthood vs Levitical style priesthood. Protestants are pretty consistent with the Melchizedek style.
How do you know that the power to forgive was given to a given priest? What happens when you confess sins to a priest that is molesting boys. From what you said any brother in Christ can forgive sin not just the priest.
Question. Dose a persong have to Confess to a priest in order to be forgive? Are we free to just confess our sins to God, though Jesus christ.
In short, Can salsavalvation be obtained if we do not confess or sins to a priest? Is confession to a priest necessary for salvation?
If Jesus gave that person the ability to forgive sins, then they can forgive sins. You can confess your sins directly to God, but we are unsure if he will forgive us because we know from the bible that God does not listen to sinners. John 9:31.
Now, he may make an exception, but we can't be sure that he will. The bible doesn't say that he will. Jesus says to confess to one another and gives the aposltes the ability to forgive or retain sins. But you can hope and he may especially if you are a prodigal son type scenario.
@Catholiclady3
Do you know what it means to be born of God?? Romans 3:24 (((Being justified freely by his grace))) through the *redemption that is in Christ Jesus:*
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a (((propitiation))) through (((faith))) in his (((blood,))) to declare his (((righteousness))) for the ((((remission of sins))) that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the (((justifier))) of him which (((believeth in Jesus.))))
We Inherited the sinful nature from adam, When we were born. We inherited the righteous nature of jesus christ when we were born again. 1 Peter 2:23 since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding ((*word of God;))))
Have you been born of the word of God??
St Paul teaches us that while he was God's Enemy and persecute in the believers of jesus of Jesus Christ, God saved him. And it is the same for all mankind. All have sinned and sin must be Punished. Put the lord jesus christ took the punishment for all who would believe and have faith in him. You are save by grace through faith AND NOT OF YOURSELVES. IT'S A GIFT OF GOD NOT OF WORKS LEST ANY MAN SHOUD BOAST. Eph 2:8-9
I would suggest that you read the book of romance over and over until you understand it.
Romans 5.1 Therefore , since we have been justified through faith , we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access ((by faith))) into this grace in which we now stand.
St. Paul tells us that if we try to Justifie ourselves through the work of the law or any work for the matter we Alienate ourselves from God. Because if we are Justified by works , it is no longer grace. Then you will stand Condemned behind You
Have rejected grace and try to get saved your own way.
God doesn't hear sinners but 1john 1:12 tells us that all who receve Jesus are giving the power to become children of God.
Forgive.
Justified.
Sanctified.
Friend of God.
Accepted in the beloved.
More than conquerors in christ jesus.
Seated in heavenly places.
Having the mind of christ.
And so on. We are no longer sinners but saints who sometimes fall into sins. We are God's friend not so we Take or since to him and confess. We also confess to one another and pray For each other another.
If you read the book of romans , you will see the Priesthole has been changed. There are no more priest in the new testament to offer sacrifice for sins Because the book of hebrews tells us That jesus offered himself a perfect Sacrifice once for all.
Please read your bible. The Lors bless and Direct you to Understand the word of God by rightly dividing it.
A good teacher, Les felldick, Derek prince, Noah hines.
The concept of confession of sin to a priest is nowhere taught in Scripture. First, the New Testament does not teach that there are to be priests in the New Covenant. Instead, the New Testament teaches that all believers are priests. First Peter 2:5-9 describes believers as a “holy priesthood” and a “royal priesthood.” Revelation 1:6 and 5:10 both describe believers as “a kingdom of priests.” In the Old Covenant, the faithful had to approach God through the priests. The priests were mediators between the people and God. The priests offered sacrifices to God on behalf of the people. That is no longer necessary. Because of Jesus’ sacrifice, we can now approach God’s throne with boldness (Hebrews 4:16). The temple veil tearing in two at Jesus’ death was symbolic of the dividing wall between God and humanity being destroyed. We can approach God directly, ourselves, without the use of a human mediator. Why? Because Jesus Christ is our great High Priest (Hebrews 4:14-15; 10:21) and the only mediator between us and God (1 Timothy 2:5). The New Testament teaches that there are to be elders (1 Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:6-9), deacons (1 Timothy 3:8-13), and pastors (Ephesians 4:11) - but not priests.
When it comes to confession of sin, believers are told in 1 John 1:9 to confess their sins to God. God is faithful and just to forgive our sins as we confess them to Him. James 5:16 speaks of confessing our trespasses “to one another,” but this is not the same as confessing sins to a priest as the Roman Catholic Church teaches. Priests / church leaders are nowhere mentioned in the context of James 5:16. Further, James 5:16 does not link forgiveness of sins with the confession of sins “to one another.”
The Roman Catholic Church bases their practice of confession to a priest primarily on Catholic tradition. Catholics do point to John 20:23, “If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.” From this verse, Catholics claim that God gave the apostles the authority to forgive sins and that authority was passed on to the successors of the apostles, i.e., the bishops and priests of the Roman Catholic Church. There are several problems with this interpretation. (1) John 20:23 nowhere mentions confession of sin. (2) John 20:23 nowhere promises or even hints that apostolic authority of any kind would be passed on to the successors of the apostles. (3) The apostles never once in the New Testament acted as if they had the authority to forgive a person’s sin. Similarly, Catholics point to Matthew 16:19 and 18:18 (binding and loosing) as evidence for the Catholic Church’s authority to forgive sins. The same three above points apply equally to these Scriptures.
The ability to forgive sins is God’s and His alone (Isaiah 43:25). The better understanding of John 20:23 is that the apostles were given the responsibility of declaring with utmost certainty the terms on which God would forgive sins. As the church was being founded, the apostles declared that those who believed the gospel were forgiven (Acts 16:31) and those who did not obey the gospel faced judgment (2 Thessalonians 1:8; 1 Peter 4:17). As the apostles proclaimed salvation in Christ (Acts 10:43) and exercised church discipline (1 Corinthians 5:4-5), they were wielding the authority Christ had given them.
Confession is PROPERLY MADE directly to God, and Jesus is our advocate who cleanses us from all unrighteousness. The Priest can only forgive offences against himself, and can't CLEANS anybody from sin. only Jesus can. IF the priest happens to be a Christian (some are) possibly he could give good council, but in the final analysis, he's totally unnecessary where "confession" is concerned.
Why if Christ is the only Mediator is. Mary called co redemtics doesn't that Mean that she is on par with Christ also how did the queen of heaven leave the soN of God in god house and not know
Why confess at all ???
You future sins are not forgiven. The price has been paid for them, yes, but to you’re not eligible to partake of that sacrifice if you don’t confess & repent.
Ahhhh who was Jesus sent to only? Answer with the Bible and Jesus’ words. Let me know
Thats a lot of eisegesis right there. After all that he can't show us one person that went to confession. Not one person who was absolved. 1 John 1:9 'if we confess our sins HE is able.....' Whose the He? Jesus, not some sacerdotal priest. It never happens one time. We can go boldly to the throne of God.
Lovely how your channel rules basically forbid any actual discussion between denominations over disagreements. Echo chambers only invite in people who already agree with you, thus eliminating the chance you might get someone who doesn't to see and consider your doctrine.
So basically what this guy is saying is that jesus sacrifice is sufficient to wash away our sins when you confess your sins to a priest in a booth who himself is a sinner, and then when you come out of the booth your priest will tell you to do penance for your sins which christ already washed away, ridiculous, repenting is what we do , it's part of sanctification, we are justified once through faith alone in christ alone, dont need priest, go straight to christ, He already knows your sins , your forgiven in Him not in works or confessing to a priest, trust in the finished work of christ, Confession to a priest, penance, sacrifice, sacrements, indulgences, works purgatory, all these things are bondage , catholic church keeping people in bondage, that's not the gospel of jesus christ, if christ jesus is your saviour He saved you from every sin you have every committed, past present future,
1 John 4:1 KJV "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of GOD: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby you know the SPIRIT of GOD: Every spirit that confesses that JESUS CHRIST is come in the flesh is of GOD: 3 and every spirit that confesses not that JESUS CHRIST is come in the flesh is not of GOD: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof you have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world."
Note: GOD was manifest in the flesh (1 Timothy 3:16 KJV) as the SON of GOD, JESUS CHRIST, to shed HIS real blood and give HIS real body on a real cross once for the forgiveness of all sins for whosoever believes. (John 3:14-18 KJV, Hebrews KJV chapters 9 and 10.)
In complete contradiction to this, the RCC teaches that CHRIST comes in a wafer as often as a priest pleases.
In my understanding Yeshua died on the cross because of Adam and Eve sin which is the original sin. But because we are the children of our original parents we’re all sin and the punishment is death. If Jesus has died because of sins I have done yesterday I don’t care if I will commit sins tomorrow and so on because Jesus already paid for my sins. Confess sins to the priest and to one another, I believe in that because Jesus Christ said so. Jesus never said confess your sins to me and your father in heaven Mathew 18 : 15-17 This is the sacrament of reconciliation and confession
Can you please show me in the New Testament where the term "Priest" is used for a limited, elite class of believers in Jesus Christ, with unique access privileges before God -- for instance to perform certain rites and sacraments necessary for salvation in Christ? Or can you show me a place in the New Testament that the spiritual leaders of Jesus' church are referred to as "Priests"? In the new Testament, the spiritual leaders of the church are called "elders". In fact, in 1.Peter 5:1 the apostle Peter refers to himslef as a "fellow elder" and in 1. Peter 2:9 Peter makes it clear that all who who are redeemed in Christ belong to a royal priesthood. All believer in Christ have the same access rights before God (see Romans 3:22 --"no distinction). Please show me a place in the scriptures, where it is clearly stated that a limited class of people called priests have the authority to forgive sins in God' stead? This is an honest question and I would appreciate a clear answer for this.
Priest is the modern word for presbyter that is used in the NT. Also Heb 8 1-3 Jesus is referred to as the High priest who appointed His apostles to be His priests/bishops.
@@geoffjs You are mistaken: Priest is NOT the modern word used for the greek word "presbuteros" - the correct meaning of that word is "elder" (the root word is:"presbus" = old man, not priest!) The word for priest in the N.T. is totally different: "hiereus" and is not ever used to denote the spiritual leaders of the church. The other word used to denote spiritual leaders in the church: "episkopos"= overseer/bishop. The concept of a special class of people with unique access rights to God is not found in the epistles to the churches!
Through the right of baptism we can forgive sins… So it doesn’t matter if you a man or woman through the right of baptism you can forgive sins. The problem with the Catholics they just think only a man/Priest can forgive sins. Women through the right of baptism can also forgive sins through Christ.
That is false.
@@LoneCrusader In what way. So baptism is false rights are false? What is the point of baptism? Put in the reply the whole rite of baptism. Don’t just say, “ That’s false” and nothing to show the reason why.
@@crazyfaith77 There is no authority for women to be any sort of priests. Priests come from an apostolic succession. That’s the point of the priests. Not once is there a woman because that’s not the ordination. It’s simply impossible for women to be priests.
The New Catholic Encyclopedia states: “Since the FOURTH century auricular confession has been the accepted method.”
Many refer to the resurrected Jesus’ words at John 20:22,23 as evidence of confession to a priest. However, is there any mention of a need for confession to the apostles or others? No! A Catholic professor wrote in his book The Roman Catholic Church: “The origins of auricular confession are obscure; it is old, at least as old as the late patristics period [ending about 749 C.E.], but it was not the original discipline of penance.”
The New Catholic Encyclopedia admits: “There is NO scriptural evidence that the Apostles, other than St. Paul, exercised the power of forgiving sins.”
How do we really reconcile with God?
2 Cor. 2:10 (confession-in persona christi)
“For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be OBEDIENT in all things. To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes FORGAVE I it *IN THE PERSON OF CHRIST* ”
2 Corinthians 5:18-20
“And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and *HATH GIVEN US THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION;* To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; *AND HATH COMMITTED UNTO US THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION.* Now then we are *AMBASSADORS* for Christ, as though God did beseech you *BY US:* we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.”
All of this is possible only because Christ commands it in John 20:23 TO THE APOSTLES AND THEIR SUCCESSORS (Acts 1:21-26, 1 Tim. 4:14, 1 Tim. 5:22).
What a load of BS If I need my sin or sins forgiven I just confess to God The church hS SO MANY RULES GOD ONLY HAS THE 10 COMMANDMENTS
Please check James 5:16.
Also, priests are instrument of God. God is pressent during confession.
Odd that there is no record of any apostle retaining sins ?
Private confessions, forgiven or retained, so we need to be running to confession 🙏🙏🙏❤
@@PLSTruth You can stand still and confess your sins directly to God as the new testament does not support the same style of priest , sacrifice, forgiveness of the days of the Temple . Eph 2:19-22 points us toward the spiritual temple no longer a physical one.
@@brucewmclaughlin9072 I wasn't raised in church & heard prottestants go to their pastors, spill their guts, get scriptural guidance & assurance Jesus forgives them. So protestants are guilty of their own accusations & I had no respect for them. As a young adult that picked up a protestant bible bcz I thought I had to be, I found the beautiful teachings of Christ - the laying of the hands, breathing (even protestants do this in ordination), before Jesus ascemded did his, leaving thru the power of the Holy Spirit for them to forgive & retain sins & the Holy Spirit will protect His Church - & I found all the beautiful teachings that the Catholic Church teaches in the scriptures protestants use & lead me to the Catholic Church
I'm sorry I don't accept this explanation, and I'm a Catholic.
Ok, you don't have to.
@@susanleon526 Don't get me wrong Susan. I prey every night to my Savior Lord Jesus Christ, and to forgive me for my sins. What more can a mere mortal man like a Priest can do for me? Just like Jesus said, "God is Spirit and Truth". So if I'm honest with Christ and prey to him, and live by his commandments, Jesus knows I have his Spirit within me.
The explanation here was very clear, and the bible also states for us to confess to one another, James 5:16. You can't escape it friend
double talk as its best.
Proven in all my protestant bibles & I wasn't raised in church & I see it - peace be with you as you seek Jesus
