or Only God can forgive our sins.

[angelfyre]

according to catholic teachings, yes. a priest’s authority to convey forgiveness does not come from himself. it comes from Christ.

Matthew 16:19 And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.

yes its true according to catholic doctrines.

but our doctrines should not supersede the Bible; indeed, they must be tested by the Bible, and if not in accord with it, they must be discarded as not genuine.
"To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" (Isa. 8:20).

is this your interpretation of the verse why a priest/bishop/cardinal/Pope can forgive sins?
do you know the bible's explanation about this verse?

the bible directly says FORGIVE others those who sins against you so that Father in Heaven will forgive you.

asa ka nakasala adto ka mangayo og pasaylo og ang imo nasad-an maoy mupasaylo nimo aron pasayloon pud sa Ginoo.

sorry to tell bro , Matthew 16:19 was explained by the bible and its way too far from your explanation.


Peace!

hehe i knew it. kanang g post ni bcasabee is not enuf bro?

John 20:19–23

"On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, ‘Peace be with you.’ When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, ‘Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.’ And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained."
