One can be a devout, highly-observant Jew and never set foot in a synagogue.

I understand the representative thing, but still rebel at the thought of having some other person stand between me and God. As Baptist, we put more emphasis on the Holy Spirit that allows us direct access to God. But all is well, we know longer shoot people over our differences and sometimes we Baptist even allow dancing. <br /><br />Sometimes.

He gave his power to the apostles, and it was a power that could be passed on to their successors and agents, since the apostles wouldn’t always be on earth either, but people would still be sinning. <br /><br />ThanksRodger the Real King of Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11349261387199416434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15290406.post-60571020385122198412016-11-21T20:49:03.865-05:002016-11-21T20:49:03.865-05:00As a good ole Southern Baptist, I got flummoxed by...As a good ole Southern Baptist, I got flummoxed by the first half of the sentence. Priests cannot forgive sin. No priest, no bishop, no pastor, no mere man can forgive sin. Only GOD can forgive sin, and he does so through the blood of Jesus Christ. The presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives allows us to pray directly to GOD without the need of intermediates. While priests can guide, consult, educate, console, and such, they are not GOD and cannot forgive sin. <br /><br />As to abortion, in the eyes of GOD all sin is equal. If GOD can forgive murder, then GOD can forgive abortion. The blood of Jesus can forgive all sins.
