"Confession: A Roman Catholic App" has won official church approval all the way up to the Vatican. Yet feedback over the past week has given priests cause to hit pause. More than a few Catholics believe their iPhone can now forgive their sins.
The article on the NewsOK website starts like this. "Like God, technology is everywhere. Unlike God, it can't forgive sins." Sadly, many people will fall for this marketing trickery. But isn't that just like us humans? Always seeking what seems to be the easy way out? I mean if an app on my Smartphone can listen to my confession, absolve my sins and make my heart pure and whole again...isn't it worth the $1.99 the download costs?
If you want the easy way out (and remember, who doesn't) well the way has already been put in front of you. You don't need an app on your phone; you don't even need a priest behind a mesh window in a booth. All you need to do is apply the cure for sin TO your sin and all is forgiven.
Ephesians 1:7 tells us that we have rememption through his blood and our sins are forgiven according to the riches of his grace.
Romans 6:23 lets us know that forgiveness of our sins does not come from any other source but Jesus.
Verses on Jesus being the only one who can forgive
So save your $1.99 and go to the original source of forgiveness - Calvary! It's FREE!!
