No, Jesus Christ has already paid for everyone's sins. When you commit a sin, however, you need to repent for it and know what you've done wrong and feel bad for it. After you repent you don't do that same sin again, at least try not to commit that same sin again. But no, Jesus Christ already paid for EVERYONE'S sins and all the sins in the whole world no matter how serious they are He's paid for ALL the sins in the world for EVERYONE no matter who you are or what you've done. However, in the Middle Ages one could purchase something called an indulgence. The idea was, that although Jesus had paid for all sins, individuals had to spend a certain amount of time in Purgatory repenting before going to Heaven. This time could be shortened by buying indulgences from the church.
so that their sins are forgiven
Sins that are confessed to a priest and proper penance was observed, such sins are forgiven and not accountable and need not be confessed again.
All sins are forgiven in heaven if they weren't no one would ever go to heaven. I believe sins are forgiven on earth too but some that may not seem forgiven because people go to jail for them would be murder rape (adultery).
All sins can be forgiven in may ways because God can do all things
Venial sins can be, but mortal sins can only be forgiven through the sacrament of penance. Although it is recommended to confess venial sins in the sacrament of penance as well.
Mortal sins can only be forgiven in the sacrament of penance or with an act of perfect contrition with the resolve to go to confession as soon as possible. Venial sins can be forgiven with an act of imperfect or perfect contrition, reception of the Holy Eucharist, use of a sacramental, after death.
Roman Catholic AnswerFor the same reason they confessed their sins in the first century, or in this century: to be forgiven for those sins, because Jesus told them to.
It represents the blood of Christ that he shed for his people so that their sins may be forgiven
Of course, the only sins which cannot be forgiven are the unforgivable sin which is the sin against Hope (the second of the Cardinal Virtues). The sins against hope which cannot be forgiven are presumption and despair.The former is akin to the Protestant theory that once you are "saved" you cannot do anything to lose your salvation. That is presumption and is unforgivable as you don't think you need forgiveness.The latter, despair, is unforgivable as you don't think you can be forgiven for whatever reason: you think you have committed too many sins, or too horrible a sin, or whatever.The sins against hope cannot be forgiven for the simple reason that you cannot be contrite and ASK for forgiveness. God will forgive ANYTHING as long as we repent of it - which is not just being sorry for it, but trying not to do it again.Sins which we have not yet done cannot be forgiven until AFTER we do them, and repent of them. But all mortal sins can be forgiven as long as we confess them and repent. It is only when we are not contrite and repentant that we cannot be forgiven.
