no need to swear lah, ... its normal that the person you look up to has a larger than life image...Originally posted by Pope Nicholas:I do swear that during Confession, the Priest has a larger than life image. I dont know...maybe its designed that way but a white room filled with a booming voice a priest haha.
" I absolved u of all your sins...."
Can someone help me understand penance? Is penance a human role in attaining forgiveness (cooperation with God) or merely a sign of repentance and doing good works? I think it gotta do with the priesthood power of retaining sins....but can someone explain it to me with clarity.
Yupz.Originally posted by vince69:no need to swear lah, ... its normal that the person you look up to has a larger than life image...
btw.. does the priest have to also announce that, it is by the authority bestow by our Lord Jesus Christ, upon him (the priest) that he pronounce that the sins are absolved? or something like this? (not sure of the exact wording, sorry)
What did Scripture Catholic say?Originally posted by Pope Nicholas:But wat is penance exactly? Is it means of cooperating wif God to get ur sins forgiven or merely a price to be paid for ur trangressions or both???
U can still throw away ur salvation by rejecting his Love by commiting sins.Originally posted by dumbdumb!:well, firstly, Christ has died for all your sins, past, present and future.
there isn't any sins that you can commit that he didn't already know of, died for and forgiven for.
God loves u, to him, you're precious to him.
but u will still need to answer for things which you have done. say u've hurt someone, by not apologising doesn't make God love you any less.. but it'll still affect your life negatively.
if you've killed someone, well, you still hv to answer to the law, but God still loves you.
God's love don't change..
Its a small issue. It gives an explanation abt the binding and loosing bit in John but penance, nothing much. Im curious... If i fail to commit my penance, am i forgiven or have i already been forgiven and penance is merely a price to pay?Originally posted by Icemoon:What did Scripture Catholic say?

I read ur theology of Cross vs Theology of Glory.Originally posted by Icemoon:Think harder and deeper.
Sooner or later .. your thinking will be like Luther .. asking whether you are saved or not.
