What gives us the right to try to save people? Um God. Tell me this. What gives priest's the right to say "God has forgiven you." Why go to priests and ask for forgiveness when the Bible clearly states that only Jesus can forgive them and only confess TO JESUS. Not the priest. What gives catholic priests the right?

Exactly...not to mention in Matthew 23 where Jesus says "Call no man on Earth FATHER"...and the FIRST thing you say at confessional is "Bless me FATHER, for I have sinned..." hmm
Well...let me be real right now...through all this talk...through all this speak of holiness and righteousness, we've been sinning in the meantime like Dabatos said...
No one is perfect...
But God is able to purge us...and cleanse us from our sin...
Even if we don't have a MAJoR slip up...we're still imperfect beings saved by a perfect Savior.
Jesus.
I think anyone who posts in this thread should read all the comments first...that'll save on the redundancy.
