Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.
Personally, I'm a very open book and have no fear of judgment because I know that we are all sinners and I do not judge others for their sin but try to instruct them in the ways of Christ.
That being said, I am reading that many are embarrassed or ashamed so this once popular action is not very popular, anymore?
I'm not sure it was ever popular in Protestant churches but I haven't lived since the beginning of when they were formed so am not an authority on this point.
Furthermore, is this why Catholics confess to priests?
Thanks, as always, for helping me! I know I always have lots of questions but you all are very good to me with your assistance.
God bless.
