Your parents are not gods. Sin is doing something against GOD, especially if he made specific laws against something, you know about it, and you do it. The Old Testament commanded offerings to cover sins, it provided for sins committed in ignorance and for all sins to be forgiven even the ones unnoticed and unremembered.
The New Testament never commands or implies that confession of every sin is required. A recommended frequency, based on the teachings of the Pope and Catholic Church law, is between once a month and once a week.
Melkite Catholic After the penitent confesses his sins, the priest may say some words and assigns a penance. Our Lord and God Jesus Christ, Who gave this command to His divine and holy disciples and apostles; to loose and to bind the sins of people, forgives you from on high, all your sins and offenses.
If you lie in confession, and are given absolution, you are not actually absolved. He also cannot forgive blasphemy against the Holy Spirit i. Baptists baptize persons only after they make a personal confession of their faith in Christ.
Baptists do not believe that a loving God condemns anyone for a sin they did not commit. These include drinking in my first year I am in 2nd yr of college now , watching porn, getting to a porn site when young and my elder bro getting the blame, etc.
Also after I have changed my life, I again sinned by lying to my parents. I went out with a girl to church to let her know of the Good News shes a hindu. But since my parents may misunderstand the situation, I told them I went with another friend when they asked who I went with.
I felt really bad about lying and I repented fully after that incident. Should I tell my parents about this, or are my sins forgiven? Thanks in advance and God bless. Sep 2, We teamed up with Faith Counseling. Can they help you today? Sep 2, 2. Do you think that you sinned against your parents, and that your offense is creating distance between you and them? Another thing to be mindful of is that confession should bring restoration and unity, not destruction.
Be mindful that if you do open up and share with them that it is said in a way that won't damage them, and that it your confession is stated for their benefit as well, not to just soothe your guilty conscience. Timing, along with wording, is everything. Will your relationship with them be for the better if you do tell?
And would they benefit from knowing, at least at this time? Only you can make that judgment call. Sep 3, 3. If you need to ask forgiveness for specific lies then yes. As for stuff that doesn't concern them mentioning it to someone else or a clsoe friend you can confide in to help you with accountability sake is you seek to grow in faith would be a good idea, but in general if the sin was not against them and your not looking for accountability or you really want to talk it out with someone I would advise against it confessing sin to someone it does not concern in anyway.
Sep 3, Sep 16, 4. It's good that you feel you have grown closer to God. Here the issue is to deal with sin. But, handle private sins privately. If there is repentance, then move into a healing stage, and keep it private. If stubbornness sets in, then go on to the next stage. Let me give you an example from my experience as a pastor many years ago.
Again, I am not saying that adultery is your case. This story serves only as an example to drive home a point. There are some in the Christian world who teach that in order to have a clear conscience, you need to confess publically or to many other people your sin. There should be no secrets between couples, they say.
I believe they are wrong. One time a young man came to me in my office. He had been married about 10 years, had a fine wife, two lovely children, and a great marriage. However, he was very distraught. It seems that while lying in bed one night, he convinced his wife to tell all the secrets in her life, and he would his. That way there would be no secrets between them.
Someone told him that his marriage would be greatly blessed if they shared all their secrets. First, he confessed all his secrets. Then, his wife shared hers. As things happened, when they had been married about a month some 10 years before the big confession , she has sex with a person in the neighborhood. It was a onetime stand, and she was greatly remorseful, confessing her sins to God.
She never told her husband, she turned away from her sin, and developed into a solid, devout Christian woman and mother. It shook him up so much that he wanted to divorce her.
His jealousy drove him to hate his wife, and he was insistent on breaking up his lovely family by way of divorce. Did the sharing all their secrets bless the marriage? It destroyed it. It would have been better for her to keep her mouth shut. I had a wonderful Vietnamese pastor friend years ago. Pastor Do has now gone on to be with the Lord.
