Catholics screaming: "But JaMeS sAyS wE mUsT cOnFeSs OuR SinS to tHe pRieSts At ThE CoNfeSsiOn bOOth or in 'muh one church'!!!!!"
The Bible/God's Word/The Scriptures:
NOPE, confess your sins only to God, not a man. Only saved believers can/could/should voluntarily confess THEIR FAULTS (i.e. which are/mean weakenesses and are NOT the same as sins) TO SAVED BELIEVERS only, which is who James wrote to. DO NOT CONFESS ANYTHING TO AN UNSAVER, PAGAN, IDOLATOROUS, JUDAIZER, DRESS-WEARING "PRIEST" OR TO ANY MAN OR "PRIEST". THE PRIEST AND MARY ARE NOT THE MEDIATORS BETWEEN GOD AND MAN AND CANNOT SAVE YOU. DO NOT CONFESS YOUR SINS TO ANY MAN:
James 1:1-3 KJB
[1] James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
[2] My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
[3] Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
James 2:2,17 KJB
[2] My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
...[17] Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
James 5:16 KJB
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
