In terms of man’s confessions:
JAMES 5:16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

Matthew 9:6-8 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins….” Then he said to the paralytic,

lol u work quick. …
lol u work quick. The ark was commissioned BY GOD. GOD told them make the Cherebum but guess what he also did. He told the priest to hide it from public view. why probably didn’t want any idolotry going on. Did you point to the book of wisdom? Please don’t tell me u want an apocryphal text to be counted as holy scripture. The bible isn’;t a graven image. Its a book that we read and take as our moral authority. We don’t bow to it or worship it.

Get up, take your …
Get up, take your mat and go home.” 7And the man got up and went home. 8When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe; and they praised God, who had given such authority to men.

John 20:21-25 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” 22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”

Father is a …
Father is a religious name given to religious leaders that has been used since the time of Abraham….Paul(?) even refers to Abraham as “Father Abraham” in Hebrews. The admonition is referring to what you just said…no one is FATHER but God himself. I think this has been a source of confusion for too long and it is semantically driven.

I’m really not sure what the “Reformed” world is lookinf for in terms of an apology? We uses statues that represent to us the virtues of the Saints, The Holy Mother, and Our Lord Jesus to us. They are sculpted, painted, even songs are written….all of which could be judged to be “idols” by the willing.

Actually faith by …
Actually faith by works is far easier. See as long as you DO good things then you are ok. Well if thats the case then the biggest homosexual can be saved so long as he believes and works at a soup kitchen when he does his homosexual deeds. Lets look at these catholic priest who molest boys and then get hidden away. Hey all they gotta do is say some hail mary’s and do some good works and its all right. Where as salvation by faith is something only you can know about. I don’t knw how faithful

No…you are …
No…you are puttinf the cart before the horse. God has reached down to us in His Eternal grace and saved us…no Catholic will ever tell you otherwise…if they do, then they following the Church Teachings. The problems with “works” is when it’s left out of the equation……..Ex: I am saved on Tuesday Night…and I wake up the next morning and die in a shootout with police while robbing a bank. I process, I kill three policemen…am I assured of Heaven?
