Jesus Christ forgives the sins of anyone who believes and asks for forgiveness.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe sacrament in which one confesses one's sins is called Penance. The common name used by the laity is Confession, but technically it is the Sacrament of Penance.
Absolution in confession is when the priest lifts his hands over your head, and Jesus comes to you and forgives you of all your sins you have commited in your life.
When you admit your sins to a priest it is called a confession. Some say it is better to confess your sins to a higher power so that it is only between you and them.
God forgives their sins in the same way as He forgives the sins of Muslims or Buddhists or Hindus or... He forgives them if they repent. As Jews are not Catholics (or Orthodox), they cannot go to confession.
Because anointing of the sick forgives all sins and only priests can do that
.Catholic AnswerIn the sacrament of Confession, also know as Reconciliation or Penance: we confess our sinners with TRUE contrition, and the priest gives us absolution. The sacrament of Baptism, of course, forgives ALL sins committed up to that point in life. The Sacrament of the Eucharist forgives all venial sins to someone who attends Mass with sincere contrition and participates in the Penitential Rite, and the Sacrament of Anointing (Unction) also forgives sins.
Confession is when you go to a priest and confess all of the sins that you have comitted since your last visit with the priest. Then the priest forgives you of your sins and tells you pray to a certain amount of prayers as penance. After prayer you will receive absolution from the guilt of your sin.
God forgives all of your sins when you ask for forgiveness.
The two primary parts of the Sacrament of Reconciliation are Confession and Absolution. During Confession, the penitent person tells, or confesses, their sins to the priest, who is acting in the Person of Christ. Absolution is when the priest, who was given the authority to forgives sins by Christ Himself, grants the penitent person pardon for their sins and releases them from the guilt and shame of their sin, thus restoring them to a state of grace and reconciliation with Mother Church.
Yes, but technically, we confess our sins to God through the priest.
A persons spirit is what leaves and it either goes to heaven if you dont commit man sins and if god forgives you for those sins as long as you really feel bad about the sins you commited. Or a persons spirit can go to hell if they commit sins and don't go to church to confess them selfs upon a priest(thats when god forgives people for their sins) but if people don't follow the 10 commandments and don't at least pray for god to forgive your sins you go to hell which is a bad thing obviously because your spirit is torchered and god is our creater which gives us eternal life if we go to heaven after some one dies.
