Hey everyone! God bless. This is just a question, not to go against the belief but to understand it deeper.
If Christ already forgave us our sins, why must we go confess to a priest? Now I fully believe that’s how Christ chose to establish it, “whoever’s sins you forgive are forgiven and whoever’s sins you retain are retained”
However, what’s the purpose behind it? Is it to feel accountable to our sin, is it to expose our sin so it’s no longer within us, Christ does everything with a meaning and purpose behind it, what’s the meaning and purpose behind this one?
Again, I believe in it because the early church followed it, the Bible says it, even in the Torah they’d say their sins to a priest before the sacrifice, I’m just questioning the purpose and reason, that’s all.
