Woody Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 Should we share or confess our sins to our friends or to ANY human. I realize we should share our faults. But I am specifically referring to our sins. And I realize we should make right with those whom we hurt. But I am referring to outside that. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Administrators Gail Posted April 5, 2011 Administrators Posted April 5, 2011 I hear ya! Good question! Are you asking our opinion or what the good Book says? Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Woody Posted April 5, 2011 Author Posted April 5, 2011 I am asking what your opinion of what the Good Book says. Just opinions folks. I long ago learned that what the Good Book says varies with the opinion of each person. So, I pray that no one is dogmatic enough to state "THE BIBLE SAYS THIS" . Certainly include Bible quotes. And let US see what we 'think' of them. :) Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Administrators Gail Posted April 5, 2011 Administrators Posted April 5, 2011 Certainly include Bible quotes. And let US see what we 'think' of them. Not talking about dogma, unless it's in Scripture. All Scripture is profitable (it says of itself). I would love to listen in! Thanks for starting the topic! :) Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Woody Posted April 5, 2011 Author Posted April 5, 2011 Quote: Not talking about dogma, unless it's in Scripture. I don't mean to get sidetracked with this kind of topic ... but each person seems to think that their dogma is in scripture. And their dogmatic about it. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Administrators Gail Posted April 5, 2011 Administrators Posted April 5, 2011 True enough! Well, then. I'll sit back and see what comes. I think it's a great topic! Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

I believe we don't need to confess our sins to anyone but God and the person we wronged. If you want I suppose you can. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2

CoAspen Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 I have often felt that RC's have a nice little thing going....the confesional booth. It is a person to person unloading of the soul rather than this entity somewhere in the heavens. It makes a person feel better. Maybe it is because of the difficulty of this supernatural relationship christians claim to believe in. Quote

Woody Posted April 5, 2011 Author Posted April 5, 2011 An interesting side bar from this is: Should others confess FOR us to others? Whoops. No. I think that is called gossip. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Administrators Gail Posted April 5, 2011 Administrators Posted April 5, 2011 An interesting side bar from this is: Should others confess FOR us to others? Whoops. No. I think that is called gossip. I think so... confession on behalf of another! As EGW used to say, "Report and we will report it!" Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Administrators Gail Posted April 5, 2011 Administrators Posted April 5, 2011 I may have to be corrected on that quote... But I just liked the way she termed it. Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Woody Posted April 5, 2011 Author Posted April 5, 2011 I don't know the way SHE termed it. But I like the way YOU termed it. :) Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Woody Posted April 5, 2011 Author Posted April 5, 2011 "It is best for every soul to closely investigate what mental food is served up for him to eat. When those come to you who live to talk, and who are all armed and equipped to say, "Report, and we will report it," stop and think if the conversation will give spiritual help, spiritual efficiency, that in spiritual communication you may eat of the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of God." FE 458 Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.

FE 458 Isn't that beautiful? That is how I feel, sometimes, too, that some come all armed and equipped to pass the juicy news on!! I get nervous around people who seem to know everything about everybody...
