As a catholic .. Is it true that if a confession, Your sins are Obsolved …?
and what is considered a mortal sin?
- Confession in the Catholic Church.
- Catholics: mortal sins?
- I am a Catholic. Do I have to go to confession at a church to be forgiven for my sins or can I pray to God?
- Is it true that a Catholic priest can not break the seal of confession?
- Is it true that a Catholic priest can not break the seal of confession?
Blasphemy. Forgiveness comes only in Jesus Christ our Savior. Why would I have to die if they could be pardoned by men?
Catholics are Christians, with lots and lots of traditions.
Non-denominational Christians are most likely to say useless traditions.
Catholics are most likely to say fundamental traditions.
That's it in a nutshell.
I believe personally that Jesus was sent to eliminate and simplify the tradition … not add to them.
Catholicism is the faith as Jewish. But guess what?
You can not be saved through their works, or tradition.
It is a gift of God's grace alone that saves.
Learn where to find the word "Catholic" in the Bible?
The same article says that the Pope was infallible, he teaches us to call male Father, pray to the saints, worship of Mary, said that the blood of our Savior Manishewitz knows wine.
"Ye reject the commandments of God, that ye may keep your own tradition." - Mark 7:9 (KJV)
Anyway, who is not against us is for us … grace of God and keep Catholics as well.
God bless.
Only when the priest gives absolution. A mortal sin is to go against any of the 10 commandments.
After his resurrection Jesus told the apostles gathered:
(Joh 20:21) Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I sent you. "
(Joh 20:22) And when he had said this, breathed on them and told them: "Receive the Holy Spirit.
(Joh 20:23) If you forgive the sins of anyone, they are forgiven if you withhold forgiveness from anyone, is retained. "
Confession is a sacrament in the Catholic and Orthodox church, your sins are guaranteed to be acquitted when he confessed to a priest who derives his authority from the apostles. It is not necessary to confess venial sins, such that you can ask for forgiveness directly from God.
Early Christians confessed their sins openly in front of the whole congregation, the church has the confessional centuries later for privacy reasons.
The problem is that the Protestants are divided when it was true that the church lost most of the sacraments from the apostolic succession.
This may be true, but what can a man for his sins? Is not God who has to confess your sins, because they have fallen short of His glory, or man-no!
Wow, Christians really, really hate the Catholics. They give a thumbs down for correct answers, and do nothing but insult and fucking hell. How nice.
Oh, I had to correct the injustices thumbs down a little.
Confession and Reconciliation + +
Yes, a person's sins are forgiven in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
The Catholic Church believes that "Only God forgives sin."
When a penitent person asks God for forgiveness, his (or his) sins are immediately forgiven.
Catholics also believe that when someone sins that not only hurt their relationship with God, but also hurt the whole church, the body of Christ.
Jesus said, "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. What bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. "(Matthew 16:19)
And when he had said this, breathed on them and told them: "Receive the Holy Spirit. Who forgives sins are forgiven, whose sins you retain are retained. " (Luke 20:22-23)
Oral confession of sins, it is recommended over and over again in both the Old and New Testament:
+ James 5:16
Acts 19:18 +
+ Matthew 3:5-6
+ Mark 1:5
+ 1 Timothy 6:12
+ 1 John 1:9
+ Numbers 5:6-7
Nehemiah 9:2 +
Sir + 4:26
The Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation with a priest ordained in the name of Jesus Christ not only reconciles the sinner to God, but with the whole church, including you and me.
Remember that all sacraments are encounters with God. This sacrament is a healing encounter between God and the penitent.

Mortal sin + +
1 John 5:16-17 - If anyone sees his brother sinning, if not the mortal sin, you must pray to God and he will give you life. This is only for those whose sin is not mortal. There is no such thing as a deadly sin, about which I am not saying you should pray. All irregularities is sin, but sin is not mortal.
Catholics believe:
Mortal sin is a grave violation of God's law that destroys the divine life in the soul of the sinner (sanctifying grace), constituting a turn away from God. A sin to be mortal, three conditions must be present: grave matter, full knowledge of the wickedness of the act, and full consent of the will.
Venial sin is a sin that does not destroy the divine life in the soul, as mortal sin, though it diminishes and wounds. Venial sin is not with the necessary restraint in matters of minor moral law, or in serious matters acting without full knowledge or complete consent.
Venial sins, but proceed slowly but surely it can be separated entirely from God, because in a state of mortal sin.
For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, sections 1854 et seq: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt3s …
+ With love in Christ.
If repentance is honest confession of the sinner, his sins are forgiven. Mortal sins can be forgiven through the sacrament of Reconciliation.
Yes, if you realize that they are sins and stains that were on their garmets and he does his penance.
With regard to the Catholic faith is, yes, go to confession (the sacrament of reconcilliation) and confessing their sins (a priest), you are forgiven (acquitted), provided they are truly sorry. If you are not really sorry, then it will not be forgiven. They believe that God forgives through the priest.
In others, the Christian faith .. that are not forgiven for that. Other faith to believe that only God can forgive the sins of a priest can not really do it.
And by the way, I'm not saying that I think one of the above is right, and one of the above is wrong. I am giving the information as it is. (I have not expressed at all what I said here is what my faith.)
A mortal sin is very serious, murder the soul of the person who committed, and in many cases the person who commits a mortal sin knows in advance that is very bad but you do anyway. (ie rape, murder, etc)
A venial sin is serious (as all sins are a serious matter), but is not considered as serious as a mortal sin. (ie, telling a lie about something)
And exactly why I have a thumbs down for correct answer? They are meant to be a bad response, not a response to someone does not agree with. How pathetic.
When a Catholic goes to confession of their sins are not forgiven by the priest. Your sins are forgiven by God.
My understanding is that the confession came from the Bible which tells us to confess our sins one to another.
Now imagine what it would be like - gossip city. In the confessional we confess our sins one to another, however, we ask God for forgiveness.
Does any of that make sense?
IF ….. all those who say NO … read the question again …
AS A CATHOLIC! not a Protestant or whatever …
As a Catholic, may be so, but the Bible does not say that. The only way your sins are forgiven if they asked God to forgive you and do it. If you sin against another person, you must also ask forgiveness for them. I'm not sure what is exactly is a mortal sin, but I feel that this is a sin that comes from human nature. This does not make it any better, but I think it means.
No man can forgive nor a sin.
The Bible makes entrance into heaven clear and easy.
The truth is that the only way to be saved and go to heaven and not the eternal lake of fire is by believing in this life that Jesus is God, died for our sins on the cross and resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:1 — 4). We believe this and pray to Jesus and ask Him to save you. He immediately!
And I think that asking Jesus for salvation, and is saved
If you repent and try the absolute best not to repeat the sin.
Yes, the sins are absolved in the sacrament of reconcilliation (confession.)
A mortal sin is very grave, without a soul-bet, compared with a venial sin, which is also serious, but not as severe as a mortal sin. Example: say all homosexuals are destined for hell unless they pretend to be heterosexual, which in turn makes some confused teenager gay blow his brains out - which is a very serious, mortal sin.
But tell your mom that your pants do not make your bum look fat, but it is a lie, is a less serious sin. I am sure you understand the difference.
"mortal sin is sin whose object is grave matter and has also undertaken with the full knowledge and deliberate consent." (Catechism of the Catholic Church 1857) http://www.vatican.va/archive/catechism/. ..
"All irregularities is sin, but there is no sin that is deadly." (1 John 5:17) http://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/r/rsv/rsv- …
I have mixed feelings about this because only God can forgive for his sins. The Catholic Church used the confession as a way to control people to know their secrets more transgressions. Acquittal in most cases is a few Hail Marys ordered by the priest who heard the confession. Although I understand that priests are bound by confidentiality not to reveal what they heard in confession, which gives them great power, because they know their dirty little secrets.
The acquittal is taken as a license to go through sin again most people, when they should repent and sin no more.
It sounds a little too convenient.
I just do not get characters like the wife abuser who confessed to beating the other goes home absolved of their sins past, only his new wife of the estate, or a drunk or a womanizer, or the player, the list is endless .
Mortal sins. God, I believe that breaking the commandments and to engage in any of the seven deadly sins should only cover that.
Yes, but it has to be a true confession - that are really sorry and do not want to commit the same sin again.
This does not mean you're home free to do whatever evil things you want to do until the next confession.
Acquitted, no obsolved. And yes, we believe that God forgives our sins through the priest. People seem to think that we believe that the priest was a magician or wizard who can make everything magical. We believe that God does these things through the actions of the priest.
The priest studied the Bible (and if you think that Catholics do not know the Bible, you should seriously consider in the Mass - the Bible from beginning to end), the Cathecism, the Canons, and is much more informed than most we. To confess our sins, we relieve ourselves, almost like talking to a doctor or a psychiatrist. He gives us some tips on how to avoid sin, and pray together. He gives us a few sentences from time to time an action or to atone for the sins and are forgiven. God forgives us, and not the priest. It requires sincerity, not just say the words, and one must take a firm resolve not to repeat the sins. Unfortunately we do repeat our sins, but God is willing to forgive again and again.
A mortal sin is a transgression that is serious in nature, known by the committor to be serious, and he chooses to do so anyway. A mortal sin can only be committed by someone who knows what he is doing is dead wrong. They must be confessed. A venial sin is a misdemeanor, and may not be necessary.
This is indeed one of the seven sacraments and is called reconciliation, no confession. It takes some time each year during the Easter season. It was suggested we do it more often. Even if you have nothing to confess, you have the opportunity to discuss some things that may be a concern or a problem for you.
If you do not like this, than good. You do not have to be Catholic.
PS. TJ's explanation is false. … No baloney pure indulgence, and a totally different issue.
Confession usually end with the confessor is taking a number of "Our Fathers" and "Ave Maria", but does not exempt one from this sin?
The Bible tells us that our prayers should not be something to memorize and repeat over and over again, but must be from the heart.
Matt. 6:7 - "In your prayers do not babble [ie, a total meaninglessly repetitious manner] as the pagans do, because I think that using many words to make themselves heard."
Penitential acts can not earn forgiveness because only God can give. He has the requirements of perfect justice in mind and if it is a sorry (no longer do what it is) God's love and goodness extends forgiveness bias based on the ransom sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
The Bible says it is no sin that can not be forgiven, a sin against the Holy Spirit:
- Hebrews 10:26 - "If, after he has knowledge of the truth, we should deliberately commit any sin, then no sacrifice for them."
-Matthew 12:31 - "All manner of sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven." (Matthew 12:31)
Therefore, the mortal sin is not having repented. If you know what is right, yet continue to do evil, there is no forgiveness. For example, Judas Iscariot sin in this way. The betrayal of Jesus is the voluntary, deliberate culmination of a course of hypocrisy and dishonesty.
Want Bible? Here are some Bible for you:
Gee whiz just do not think you read your Bible
I. Jesus Christ given to his apostles authority to forgive sins
John 20:21 - before He grants them the authority to forgive sins, Jesus says to the apostles, "as the Father sent me, so I send you." As Christ was sent by the Father to forgive sins, so Christ sends the apostles and their successors forgive sins.
John 20:22 - the Lord "breathes" on the apostles, and then gives them the power to forgive and retain sins. The only other time in Scripture where God breathes on man in general is 2:7, when God "breathes" divine life in man. When this happens, a major transformation takes place.
John 20:23 - Jesus says: "If you forgive the sins they are forgiven. If retengáis, they are held. "In order for the apostles to exercise this gift of forgiving sins, the penitents must orally confess their sins to the apostles because there are no readers. The text makes this very clear.
Matt. 9:8 - this verse shows that God has given authority to forgive sins to "men". Thus, Protestants who acknowledge that the apostles had the authority to forgive sins (which this verse demonstrates) must prove that this gift ended with the apostles. Otherwise, the apostles' successors still possess this gift. Where in Scripture is the gift of authority to forgive sins away from the apostles or their successors?
Matt. 9:6, Mark 2:10 - Christ forgave the sins that a man (not God) to convince us that the "Son of man" has authority to forgive sins on earth.
Luke 5:24 - Luke notes that Jesus' authority to forgive sins is as a man, not God. The Gospel writers record this to convince us that God has given this authority to men. This authority has been transferred from Christ to the apostles and their successors.
Matt. 18:18 - the apostles are given the authority to bind and loose. The authority to bind the government and released in time and includes the elimination of penalties due to sin. The Jews understood this since the birth of the Church.
John 20:22-23, Matt. 18:18 - the power to transfer / retain sin is also the option to transfer / retain the punishment due to sin. If Christ's ministers can forgive the eternal penalty of sin, which may refer the temporal punishment of sin (called an "indulgence").
2 Cor. 2:10 - Paul forgives in the presence of Christ (some translations refer to the presence of Christ as "in persona Christi"). Some say this may be a reference to sins.
2 Cor. 5:18 - the ministry of reconciliation was given to the ambassadors of the Church. This ministry of reconciliation refers to the sacrament of reconciliation, also called the sacrament of confession or penance.
James 5:15-16 - in verse 15 we see that sins are forgiven by the priests in the sacrament of the sick. This is another example of man's authority to forgive sins on earth. Then in verse 16, James said: "Therefore, confess our sins to each other", referring to the men referred to in verse 15, the priests of the Church.
1 Tim. 2:5 - Christ is the only mediator, but he was free to decide how His mediation would be applied to us. The Lord chose the priests of God to carry out its work of forgiveness.
Lev. 5:4-6, 19:21-22 - even in the Old Covenant, God used priests to forgive and atone for the sins of others.
II. The need and practice of oral confession of sins
James 5:16 - James clearly teaches us that we must "confess our sins to each other," not just privately to God. James 5:16 must be read in the context of James 5:14-15, which refers to the healing power (both physical and spiritual) of the priests of the Church. Therefore, when James says "therefore" in verse 16, which should refer to the men he was writing about in verses 14 and 15 - these men are the ordained priests of the Church to whom we must confess our sins.
Acts 19:18 - many came to orally confess sins and divulge their sinful practices. Oral confession was the practice of the early Church as it is today.
Matt. 3:6, Mark 1:5 - again, this shows people confessing their sins before others as a historical practice (here to John the Baptist).
1 Tim. 6:12 - this verse also refers to the historical practice of confessing sins and faith in the presence of many witnesses.
1 John 1:9 - if they are to confess our sins, God is faithful to us and forgive us and cleanse us. But we must confess our sins to one another.
Num 5:7 - this shows the historical practice of publicly confessing sins, and making
return service.
2 Sam. 12:14 - despite the fact that sin is forgiven, the punishment due for sin forgiven. David is forgiven but his child was still taken (the consequence of his sin).
Neh. 9:2-3 - the Israelites was before the assembly and confessed sins publicly and interceded for each other.
Lord. 4:26 - God tells us that he is not ashamed to confess our sins, and not to try to stem the flow of a river. Anyone who has experienced the sacrament of reconciliation understands the import of this verse.
Baruch 1:14 - again, this shows that the people made the confession in the house of the Lord, before the assembly.
1 John 5:16-17, Luke 12:47-48 - there is a distinction between mortal and venial sins. This has been the teaching of the Catholic Church for 2000 years, but today, most Protestants no longer agree that there is such a distinction. Mortal sins lead to death and must be absolved in the sacrament of reconciliation. Venial sins need not be confessed to a priest, but the pious Catholic practice is to do in order to move forward on our path to holiness.
Matt. 5:19 - Jesus teaches that breaking the least of commandments is venial sin (the person remains, but is saved in the kingdom), versus mortal sin (the person is not saved).
…. Please take a kind of "basic Christianity 101" that includes the study of the Church before 1600 AD (about the time that their way of interpreting Scripture was!) And has just given a couple of things about the "Faith Once Delivered
Yes, our sins are forgiven … sins are mortal sins which violates the Ten Commandments and in accordance with the 7 deadly sins
vennial sins, however, are more clear example …
1. you do not wake up on time, or if not clear that a joke about someone who should not be taken literally … etc
Protestants saw some answers, I have to defend my faith
1. They say that only God can forgive … they are correct. Because the priest's ears are the ears of God in the confessional … so in short, the priest did not hear anything in that country. which leads us to …
2. One person said it was a way for the priest to hear all the sins committed unpleasant, that Catholics have so-called "seal of confession," where a priest can not reveal anything … even in the light or as a defense to a crime.
3. Another said that is based on tradition, reading the bible … can see that people prasying directly to God, do what Protestants, so the tradition of WHOI.
Finally, we do this because of the humiliation to our God, if ur just going to pray "directly", ur not really sure if its solemn
It's true. Even if you forget to say some of his sins, each and every one of them was acquitted.
A mortal sin is considered a serious offesnse against God, for example, jump into mass killings, etc.
The truth is that we can confess everything we want but if you do not reconize Jesus as our only hope for forgiveness of sin, confession to a man not merely clear our debt to God.
The Bible clearly says. "If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" I John 1:9 ……..
For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God "Romans 3:23 …. That if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead you shall be saved. " Romans 10:9 …… will read verse 10.
11 and 13 ….. that really bless you. You can have total forgiveness of God .!!!!!!!!!!
According to the Catholic church, where are your sins if obsolved confess to a priest. However, this is not at all what the Bible teaches. Our sins are forgiven if you ask God to forgive them (and you are a true believer - God will not forgive someone who does not really believe). The punishment for the sins of the true believers have been paid by Christ's death on the cross and the 3 days spent in hell in your (and my) behalf.
There are two types of sins according to the Catholic Church: mortal and venial. Think of them as misdemeanors and felonies. Mortal sins are more serious and will keep you out of heaven unless he has to be removed by a sin "indulgence." To obtain an "indulgence" that needs to go to the Vatican the Pope has removed sin. Also have to pay for that to happen. By the way, did you know that the church disappeared for reasons other than being sick, is a mortal sin according to the Catholic Church?
Again, this is not what the Bible teaches. All sins are equal in the sight of God - they are all horrible. Since the murder lie. A sin is a sin. And only can be covered by the blood of Christ.
I hope that helps.
Yes, if you go to confession and are truly contrite (sorry for their sins) and I feel sorry for offending God, he was absolved of their sins.
A mortal sin is defined in the Catechism of the Catholic Church as follows:
"To choose deliberately - that is, knowing that both she and - something gravely contrary to divine law and the ultimate end of man is committing a mortal sin. This destroys in us the charity without which eternal beatitude is impossible. Unrepented, which brings eternal death. "(C.C.C. # 1874)
"mortal sin destroys charity in the heart of man by a grave violation of God's law, which turns the man away from God, which is their ultimate goal and his beatitude, preferring an inferior good to him." (CCC # 1855)
"mortal sin, by attacking the vital principle within us - that is, non-profit organization - requires a new initiative of God's mercy and a conversion of heart which is normally accomplished under the sacrament of Confession." (C.C.C. # 1856)
"a mortal sin is a radical possibility of human freedom, as is love itself. The result is the loss of charity and the private sector of sanctifying grace, ie the state of grace. If not redeemed by repentance of God's forgiveness, it causes exclusion to make choices for ever, without turning back. However, although we can judge that an act is in itself a grave offense, we must trust people to the ruling justice and mercy of God. "(C.C.C. # 1861)
No. Only Jesus can forgive your sins. The Bible says that. A priest can not forgive him because you need God to forgive him. I hope this helps!
Catholics would like to think that because this is how the control of its people. Priests and getting to know all the unpleasant things of all to get cornea and obtain permission to annoy altar boys.
But that's another story.
im not Catholic, and a boy in the dark you can not forgive your sins.
