Confession to a priest?

The catholic church teaches that sins must be confessed to a priest. Let’s take a look at this doctrine and prove it against the Scriptures. The catechism states:

“One who desires to obtain reconciliation with God and with the Church, must confess to a priest all the unconfessed grave sins he remembers after having carefully examined his conscience.” Pg. 374, #1493

“Confession to a priest is an essential part of the sacrament of Penance:” Pg. 365, #1456 “It is called the sacrament of confession, since the disclosure or confession of sins to a priest is an essential element of this sacrament. Pg. 357, #1424 (See also Pg. 374, #1493).

What does the Bible teach on this subject? If it is to be important enough to be considered a sacrament, surely there will be something supporting such in the Scriptures.

“I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. ” Psalm 32:5 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9 “Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.” Psalm 51:2-3

The Christian does not have to confess his sin to anyone but God because Jesus’ blood has given us access to God’s throne.

“Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus…” Hebrews 10:19

Because of the sinless blood that Jesus Christ shed on the cross, we have the authority to go straight to the throne of God for forgiveness. The Word gives a perfect example in the New Testament.

~Acts 8:18-22 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, (18 ) Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. (19) But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. (20) Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. (21) Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. (22)

Here was the perfect opportunity for the doctrine of confession to a priest. Did Peter command that Simon confess his sins to him? No, he commanded Simon to repent and pray to God to forgive him! Precept upon precept – when have you heard a catholic tell you that he has faithfully compared the doctrines of the catholic church to the Word of God? I have never heard this. What I have heard is quoting from catholic books and writings. This is not doing an independent and thorough study. It is like comparing apples to oranges. Instead, why not take your catechism and compare it to God’s Word? If you stand on God’s Word, what have you lost? But if you stand on catholic catechism and God says you were wrong, you have lost eternal life. That is a severe price to pay for being lazy and not studying matters out for yourself.

William Paton MacKay's Testimony

William Paton MacKay


Born: May 13, 1839, Montrose, Scotland.
Died: August 22, 1885, Portree, Scotland.

This is the testimony of Scottish doctor, W. P. MacKay, author of “Revive Us Again.” In his own words,

My dear mother had been a godly, holy woman, quite often telling me of the Savior, and many times I saw her on bended knee in prayer for my soul’s salvation. But nothing had made a deep impression on me. The older I grew, the more wicked I became…

One day a seriously injured man was brought into the hospital. His case seemed hopeless, he seemed to realize his condition for he was fully conscious and asked me how much time he had left to live. I gave him my opinion in as cautious a manner as I could.

“Have you any relatives whom we could notify?” I asked.

The patient shook his head. He had only one wish, it was to see his landlady because he owed her a small sum of money and also wished to bid her farewell. He also requested that his landlady send him “The Book…”

I went to see him on my regular visits at least once a day. What struck me most was the quiet, almost happy expression constantly on his face…After the man died, some things about his affairs were to be done in my presence.

“What shall we do with this?” the nurse asked holding a book in her hand.

“What kind of book is it?” I asked.

“The Bible of the poor man…As long as he was able to read it, he did so, and when he was unable to do so anymore, he kept it under his bed cover.”

I took the Bible and-could I trust my eyes? It was my own Bible! The Bible which my mother had given me when I left my parent’s home, and which later, when short of money, I sold for a small amount. My name was still in it, written in my mother’s hand…

With a deep sense of shame I looked upon the precious Book. It had given comfort and refreshing to the unfortunate man in his last hours. It had been a guide to him into eternal life, so that he had been enabled to die in peace and happiness. And this book, the last gift to me from my mother, I had actually sold for a ridiculous price…

Be it sufficient to say that the regained possession of my Bible was the cause of my conversion.

Now They Call Me An Infidel: Why I Renounced Jihad for America

You must read the book Now They Call Me Infidel by Jamie Glazov.

The author is Nonie Darwish, who is also the founder of ArabsForIsrael.com. She grew up in Cairo and Gaza, the daughter of a high-ranking Egyptian army officer. She now lectures around the country to civic organizations, universities, churches, and synagogues. She is the author of the new book, Now They Call Me Infidel: Why I Renounced Jihad for America, Israel, and the War on Terror. Here is an interview she had with FrontPageMagazine.com. It is very interesting indeed.

FP: Nonie Darwish, welcome to Frontpage Interview.

Darwish: My pleasure.

FP: Tell us some of the things you were taught as a child in the Arab Middle East.

Darwish: I was born and raised as a Muslim in Cairo, Egypt and the Gaza Strip. I attended Gaza elementary schools where I learned hatred, vengeance and retaliation. Peace was never as an option; it was considered a sign of defeat and weakness. Those who wanted peace and compromise were called traitors. Jews were described as monsters, apes and pigs and the enemies of God from the pulpits of mosques. When I asked: “why do we hate Jews?” The answer was: “aren’t you a Muslim?”

Shaming is very strong in Arab upbringing. We were told outrageous lies about Jews: “Don’t take candy from strangers since it could be a Jew trying to poison you.” We were also told that Israeli soldiers would kill pregnant Arab women just for fun, place bets on whether she was carrying a boy or a girl, and cut her open to see who won the bet.

My classmates would cry while reciting Jihadist poetry daily, wishing to die as martyrs. The teachers filled our hearts with fear of Jews, which made hatred come easy and terrorism tolerated. The propaganda of jihad, hatred and anti-Semitism was everywhere and not just in schools; it was in mosques, newspapers, movies, by politicians, in the arts and in many Jihadist songs over the radio. Mosque prayers often ended with cursing of the infidels (non-Muslims). Believe it or not, if you grow up with prayers like that, it can sound and feel normal.

FP: Who was your father and what were the circumstances of his death? How did this affect your family?

Darwish: My father was Colonel Mustafa Hafez and he headed the Egyptian military intelligence in the Gaza Strip and the Sinai in the 50s. The Egyptian President at that time was Gamal Abdel Nasser, who was committed to unifying the Arab world, destroying Israel and standing against Western interests in the region. Under orders from Nasser, my father started the Fedayeen, which means “armed resistance”, a guerrilla-style operation against Israel. They made cross-border attacks into Israel and caused a great deal of death, damage and destruction.

There were several assassination attempts on my father by Israel. My father wanted to leave his post as a result but this was delayed because Nasser needed to find a replacement. In response to the terror, one night Israel sent its commandos to our heavily guarded home in Gaza City, but my father was not home. All the Israeli soldiers found were us, women and children. The Israeli soldiers left us unharmed. I was grateful they did not kill us; especially since the Fedayeen did kill Israeli civilians. The next morning the security personnel around were taken for interrogation by the Egyptian government to find out who was the traitor. My favorite guard who always played with us was killed during the interrogation.

After two years of intense Fedayeen operations, my father was killed in the first targeted assassination in Gaza in July of 1956. I was 8 years old and had four siblings. My father was extremely loved and respected by many and until today his name is on a street and school in Gaza city and in a street in Alexandria. In Nasser’s famous speech to nationalize the Suez Canal, he hailed my father as a national hero, a Shahid. President Nasser vowed that all of Egypt would take revenge and made no mention of the heavy toll of death and destruction brought upon Israel by the Fedayeen. My siblings and I were asked by top government officials: “which one of you will avenge your father’s blood by killing Jews?” We all looked at each other, speechless; none of us wanted to kill anyone or be burdened by such a question.

Catholics teach Jesus' death is not sufficient

The catholic church teaches that salvation can be achieved through the church and the sacraments. Furthermore, even though a catholic believes he is “saved,” he must go to purgatory after he dies and be further purged from his sins before he can enter heaven. That alone teaches that Christ’s death on the cross and the blood that He shed was insufficient to do the entire job of salvation! What a disgrace to our Lord Jesus Christ! So what do the Scriptures teach?

~Romans 6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

~Romans 6:10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

~Hebrews 7:27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

~Hebrews 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

~Hebrews 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

~Hebrews 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

~Hebrews 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

~Hebrews 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

The sacraments (one of which is the mass) are not enough. Christ’s death was enough, however. These verses say that He died once – He does not need to die anymore for our sins – no need for any more deaths through the mass to take place. That means that Jesus Christ’s death on the cross was only needed once and that the blood that He shed was enough. His death already made perfect those who are sanctified by His blood – the born-again believer. Look at Hebrews 10:10 and 10:14 again: We are sanctified by His blood which was shed once and through that offering, Christ (not the sacraments or the catholic church) perfected those who are sanctified forever! So if you, dear catholic, believe that your salvation comes from your church and the sacraments, why do you still need to go to purgatory if Jesus’ blood perfected you forever?

~Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

One does not go to purgatory after death. The Bible says that after your death, you will be immediately judged. There is no being purged until you are holy enough to enter heaven. If that were the case, the following verse would not be in the Scriptures:

~2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

If only catholics can be saved according to your catechism and you had been in purgatory and had been completely purged upon entering heaven, then who are the ones who are receiving judgment from Christ over the things he did bad?

T-H-I-N-K! Use the brain that God gave you! The catholic doctrines are like a collander. They cannot hold the precious water of life from the Word of God because they are false doctrine taught by the traditions of men.

~Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

The Anvil of God's Word

The Anvil of God’s Word

Last eve I paused beside a blacksmith’s door,
And heard the anvil ring the vesper chime;
Then, looking in, I saw upon the floor
Old hammers, worn with beating years of time.

“How many anvils have you had,” said I,
“To wear and batter all these hammers so?”
“Just one,” said he, and then, with twinkling eye,
“The anvil wears the hammers out, you know.”

And so, thought I, the anvil of God’s Word,
For ages skeptic blows have beat upon;
Yet, though the noise of falling blows was heard,
The anvil is unharmed–the hammers gone.
–John Clifford

Was Jesus Christ a Racist?

Jesus Christ, Himself a Jew, brought salvation according to the prophecies of the Old Testament. His salvation did not just come to the Jews but to all men. There are no verses to be found in God’s Word to say that only a certain race of people can be saved. We all came from Adam and Eve, my friend. We are all God’s creation. Therefore, how can bigots say they are the one true race – the better race – the ones that God chose? How can these comments be proven? Only the Word of God, the Holy Bible, contains our answers.

~Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

~John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

~John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

~John 11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

~John 12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

~Acts 10:43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

~Romans 9:33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

~Romans 10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

~1 John 5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

Just who is covered under the word whosoever?

~Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

~Romans 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

~Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

~Colossians 3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

The reference to Greek here means anyone who is not Jewish; also referred to as a Gentile. The point of the matter is that Jesus did not discriminate. He died for all!

Why then does the world view itself in different shades of color? Why does it exist even amongst so-called Christians? The fact of the matter is that the true born-again believer, who is in the Word of God, will see that discrimination cannot exist with God’s children. The children of God are equal in God’s eyes for He died for all of us.

Obama and his wife do not believe this way. They claim christianity yet their views are far from what Christ taught. They most definitely see color. The news is filled with what their views are on this subject. Why is this? There are no colors with Christ. There are no colors with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I have walked into a building filled with born-again Christians who were of a different race than I, yet I was welcomed with opened arms. The same is true for the church I belong to. People of different ethnic backgrounds are members and we are all family. We worship our Saviour with unity. Color is not a barrier but a link in the chain that binds us into the family of God.

Shame on anyone who calls himself Christian and yet holds to beliefs like the Obamas! Shame on anyone who calls himself Christian and yet is a bigot and thinks himself better than anyone else!

Obama Pulls Presidential Seal!

Sen. Barack Obama has promised “change,” and his campaign has already been hard at work changing one of the basic symbols of the nation – the Presidential Seal.

On Friday, the press was abuzz over the new seal, which was unveiled on Obama’s podium when he spoke to a group of Democratic governors.

While the Obama seal does include the American bald eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch, the resemblance ends there.

The Latin phrase “E Pluribus Unum,” which translates to “Out of many, one,” now says “Vero Possumus.” Press reports translate the Latin words as “Truly, we are able” – a rough translation of the Obama campaign slogan, “Yes we can.”

The deletion of “E Pluribus Unum,” long considered the de-facto motto of the United States, is not accidental for multiculturalists, who have long denigrated the concept that immigrants must strip away their old culture in favor of the “oneness” of American civilization. In the 1990s, such activists promoted the alternative concept of the nation’s ethnic “mosaic” – rather than a single, overarching metaphor to describe American society. For example, Nation of Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan has pointedly criticized the “E Pluribus Unum” motto as not reflecting the nation’s diversity.

Other Obama changes to the seal include the removal of the shield over the eagle’s breast, representing the president’s oath to defend the Constitution. The shield has been replaced with the letter “O” – presumably for Obama – and the image of a rising sun.

“This is too serious a contest about too serious of issues for a candidate to be playing make-believe on the trail,” Brian Rogers, a spokesman for presumptive Republican nominee Sen. John McCain, told The Los Angeles Times.

Verses Catholics Wrestle With

Catholics truly wrestle with these two verses. When I have asked catholic readers what they think of the following verses, I have received some interesting feedback.

~Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: (8 ) Not of works, lest any man should boast. (9)

The feedback has come in different forms. Most have been catholic doctrine entrenched in mystery. The responses have been so complicated, they are difficult to understand. Furthermore, the catholic relies on history that is only provided through the catholic church. He dares not go outside of his comfort zone to question whether these things be so as we are commanded to do in Acts 17:11

~Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

Other types of feedback have been responses which have skirted the issue. Instead, the response was an attack back on another topic altogether. Can one catholic respond to the question at hand without diverting to theological comments by their own “church fathers”?

Can one catholic respond to the question at hand without resorting to catholic doctrine? I have yet to see a catholic open his Bible along with me and discuss Bible verses without anyone else’s thoughts but their own. Instead, they would rather use the words of their teachers. Jim Jones’ group did the same thing and they all died, by the way. God gave us a brain to use so that we could discern sheep in wolves clothing. How can a catholic discern this if he does not study for himself?

Just what is grace, according to Ephesians 2:8? Noah Webster defines grace as:

The free unmerited love and favor of God, the spring and source of all the benefits men receive from him.

Taking this definition and incorporating it into the verse, we find that Ephesians 2:8 says for by the free unmerited love and favor of God are we saved THROUGH faith.

What is faith? Noah defines faith as:

The assent of the mind or understanding to the truth of what God has revealed. Simple belief of the scriptures, of the being and perfections of God, and of the existence, character and doctrines of Christ, founded on the testimony of the sacred writers, is called historical or speculative faith;

Taking this definition and incorporating it into the verse, we find that Ephesians 2:8 says that by the free unmerited love and favor of God are we saved through the simple belief of the Scriptures. Paul goes on to say in verse 8 that it is the gift of God. There is nothing one must do to earn a gift. One does not have to do anything to receive a “just because” gift. All we do is take that gift into our possession. The gift is freely given and we do not.

Furthermore, Paul expounds on the gift in verse 9 by saying that this gift cannot be purchased by our works, otherwise we could boast about it. When you work hard at your job and put in a lot of overtime hours, you can truly state that you have earned your wages that week. You can boast about all those hours you put in to get the job done. However, this is not the case in verse 9 of Ephesians. Paul states that this gift cannot be worked for and to top it off, one cannot boast of achieving this gift.

So let’s look at the two verses in light of these definitions:

For by the free unmerited love and favor God are we saved through the simple belief of the scriptures. This is the gift freely given to us by God and there is nothing that we can do to earn it otherwise we could boast about our own abilities.

So, dear catholic, your magisterium, sacred tradition and church fathers have misled you. They wrestle with these verses and conveniently state that papal infallibility allows the catholic church to revise the Scriptures to accommodate their beliefs.You cannot have it both ways.  You cannot say that keeping the sacraments will provide an on-going process of salvation.  IF this were true, Christ’s shed blood and work on the cross was not enough.  You are saying that it was not sufficient to forgive sins!  This directly contradicts Ephesians 2:8-9 and, therefore, you DO wrestle with these verses.  You wrestle with them because you rely on your church teachers to define these verses in light of hundreds of years of tradition.  God’s Word does not lie – God promises that the Holy Spirit will teach you what the Word says – but you will not open your Bible and make sure that what you are taught as a catholic is in line with God’s Word!  Shame on you!

Woe to the catholic who will not study for himself to learn what God has said. God would be cruel to leave letters to His children which could only be interpreted by a few. That is preferential treatment and God is not that way.  Salvation is for all His children so why would He limit it to only a few who can interpret the Scriptures? Use that brain that God has given you and search the Scriptures out for yourself!

Do you have peace?

As a catholic, I could never say that I had total peace in my heart about my relationship with God. I can honestly say that the emotions that I felt for my religion were: fear, anxiety, helplessness, defeat, and worry (to name a few). Jesus said,

~John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

I could claim to have peace, but not the true peace that Christ is speaking of in this verse. The peace that Christ speaks of is a “now” peace. Not the peace of eternal rest in Heaven. Christ said He was leaving His disciples peace and giving them peace – right then and there. Jesus also told His disciples not to let their hearts be troubled or afraid. Therefore, God’s peace can be possessed – right now!

If you were to ask me 28 years ago if I had this peace that Jesus spoke of, I would have had to honestly tell you, “No!” My religion was not providing me with this same peace that the Lord said He was giving.

Dear catholic, you don’t have to be honest with me. But you do have to be honest with yourself. Do you have true, complete and real peace in the bottom of your heart? It is achievable, my friend.

God wants you to have peace – right here on earth – a peace that you can live with knowing where you will spend eternity. It’s an important doctrine. He would not hide this from you – especially when it involves where you will spend eternity. It is not through religion but through the precious blood of Jesus Christ and His work on the cross for your sins. Repentance brings salvation and a peace that can be found while you are yet living. We can leave this earth knowing that we will enter Heaven the moment we die. We do not have to do anything for this peace. Jesus gives this peace freely – we cannot earn it, nor can it be mustered on our own.

I pray that you will get into the Scriptures and read for yourself about this blessed peace that the Saviour provides!

~Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
