But I emailed Bryan+ at Creedal Christian because I remembered that he had written some arguments for omission of the General Confession on occasion, but I couldn't find them. He couldn't locate them either, but now <A HREF="http://creedalchristian.blogspot.com/2008/12/to-confess-or-not-to-confess.html" REL="nofollow">he has posted a response to your post.</A><BR/>BillyD and I are taking the pro General Confession side in the comments.Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16632860530530786486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107887.post-25365531054794570052008-12-29T09:04:00.000-05:002008-12-29T09:04:00.000-05:00I have not asked recently.

A few years ago a certain clergyman who shall go unnamed admitted that he did not like those acknowledging and bewailing bits.<BR/>Nobody likes it, but confession, and repentance are necessities for us. After all, the Atonement did not free us from the law so that we could go out and sin some more. Once cleansed from sin, we tend to go back and wallow in it again and again.Undergroundpewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10182191422663119484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107887.post-73387976221618096882008-12-28T21:35:00.000-05:002008-12-28T21:35:00.000-05:00And what does your rector say when asked about the...And what does your rector say when asked about the subject?The Religious PĂcarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03620636294081499041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107887.post-71993642833440204962008-12-28T17:11:00.000-05:002008-12-28T17:11:00.000-05:00One of the advantages of attending a liturgical ch...One of the advantages of attending a liturgical church, is the security of a tested liturgy. Many felt that these and other revisions to the Book of Common Prayer would lead to the current decline in orthodoxy in the Episcopal Church, and their warning songs may be right. What changes will we see when the Prayer Book is revised again?Wallace H.

If I don't think it's a sin, then it's not a sin and, therefore, I have nothing to confess. Simple, no?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08890870828860228480noreply@blogger.com
