We were charged never to confess our sins to priest or pastors, except we offended them, because confessions of sins should be to God and the person whom we sinned against. Pastors or priests don't have the power to forgive, but God, so our confessions should be to God.

Indeed, many believe that confessions should be made directly to God and the person we have wronged, as only God holds the power to forgive.

Thanks be to God sister @idyukpong for joining our indoctrination
