[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't ascribe to the belief of confession of sins before a priest.

Confirmed Catholic, [b]now Bible-believing Christian here[/b].

In regards to Catholics not being Christian.  Yes, they follow and believe in Christ, but are Catholics first.  Christian implies that you are a follower of Christ (or born again, or saved or have asked Jesus into your heart) and have a personal relationship with Jesus.  I'm a Christian first, a Protestant second.  [/quote]

Well, you don't believe ALL of the bible though, do you?

Specifically, you don't believe the 20th Chapter of John's Gospel.  Jesus explicitly give the apostles the authority to forgive (or not) the sins of others.  Logically this would have to be an authority that would not die out with the twelve.  What could Jesus possibly mean to do if he was just giving this authority to one group of twelve who would be gone from the earth in about 45 years, most much before that.  It is very obviously Jesus giving the authority to leaders of the Church to forgive sins.

There are lots of "Catholic" passages that so many of you so-called bible belivers don't actually believe.   Your conventional wisdom is that the Catholic Church just made up a bunch of stuff.  If you talk with a Catholic who actually reads the bible a lot, you will find that there is scripture that supports what we believe.
