Jesus said that they could "remit" their sins. Or retain them.



You cannot make a doctrine out of one scripture.
What Jesus meant in Jn 20: 23, Is, When a repentant person receives Jesus as Lord and saviour, We can tell them that Jesus has remited their sins, Compare Jn 21: 23 with Lk 24: 47.

The remission of sins goes with the repenting, Not the Ministers remiting the sins.

Where else in the Bible do you find that Ministers can remit sins??.



You are clueless, g4. That answer does not make sense and just proves that you will do anything to cling to your man-made traditions.

You would have been on the side of the others who thought it was blasphemy for Jesus to forgive sins.

Matthew 9:2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee. 3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This [man] blasphemeth. 4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? 5 For whether is easier, to say, [Thy] sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? 6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.

After the resurrection, Jesus hands the authority that he had received from the Father to the Apostles.

John 20:21 As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.

Paul says, "All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation." (2 Corinthians 5:18)

Matthew 18:18 Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Did Jesus say, Whenever I bind or loose something on earth... you tell them I did? No. That's silly. Not only is it silly, but it goes against your Sola Scriptura bunk. Jesus said, whatever you bind or loose on earth...

As the Father sent me, so I send you.

Let's have some fun. I want to see at least two, preferably three verses that explicitly support the requirement for two or more scripture verses to make a doctrine.

Another man-made doctrine, LOL.

In parts perhaps. But not all.

The Nation of Israel is a manmade construct to "help" God fulfill prophecy. Some even want to rebuild the Temple there so that the Jewish priests can start offering animal sacrifices again.

Jesus promised that not one stone would remain upon another.

On the other hand, the re-establishment of the nation of Israel does open the door for the reign of the Anti-Christ.

Yes I can. But I don't have to.

The word for "remit" is the same Greek word for "forgive". Check it out for yourself.

There is another word for "pardon", but it is often used in dealngs between human beings apart from Christ.

Yes he was when he said forgive those who trespass against us and that prayer was for everyone, man, woman, and child not just those in authority and abuse their position in the faith.

But he also said to confess your sins one to another so you will not want to sin an y more knowing someone else can announce your sins to another if they choose to. Some congregations make you confess in front of all the congregation how would that be instead of a priest?




Of cause we are to forgive those who sin against us.
But forgiving someone isn't remmiting thier sins.

James says "Confess your faults to one another".
In other words, If one has a falt they call tell someone who can pray with them for their deliverance.

That of course, is what you must believe.

Your denomination has neither the authority to forgive sin or the ability to ordain in the Apostolic tradition.




Jesus dealt with sin on the cross. We don't need charlatans, posing as priests. to pretend to be able to forgive sin.



"Jesus dealt with sin on the cross".

Are you another hybrid OSAS follower? Your sins - past, present and future - "were" all forgiven 2,000 years ago on the cross?

If so, how do you explain the Resurrected Christ delegating to His Apostolic Church His ability to forgive sin or to "hold it bound"?

"Holding sin bound" that you say He forgave on the cross - once and for all?

How do you go about rectifying your divergent theologies?











Jesus never gave His disciples the authority to forgive or remit sins.
That is just another catholic lie.
What Jesus said was, When a repentant person gets saved, We, [Every Christian] has the authority to tell them, Their sins are remited.
Whch they are.
Compare Jn 20: 23 with Lk 24: 47.
Note, Repentance AND remission??.

Please note, The end of Matt Mk Lk, Jesus is talking to every believer

How do you figure that?

But on the plus side, you acknowledge that this Authority was given to MEN and not just retained on high.

And not just any men - this was given to the Apostles and their successors, and those they ordained, after all in James 5 it mentions Presbyters being able to do this.

So while I do admit that I am not an Apostle or a Presbyter, it changes nothing with respect to what I said.

And do you think hurling insults at me helps your case? Judge not lest ye be judged.

Well, Jesus gave His Apostles the authority to forgiven and retain sins, and He did so after His death on the Cross. So clearly, men do have this authority, but not all men.

In James 5, the Presbyters were ministers of forgiveness and in Paul's epistles, he also indicated that he could forgiven in Christ's name.

So, Conqueror, I take it that the presbyters in your church fulfill this important Biblical role while denying this to Catholics? Or do you have a problem with what Jesus laid out?
