I took a perusal of "true repentance" its one of those puritan books, and it mentioned 3 times he believes its proper to confess your sins to another person. Well this has me troubled, and sick to my stomach...am I correct in assuming that absolution and forgiveness of sins is for those who confess to the Father, yet the decrees in scripture to "confess to one another" are more there for healing? I'm sure i'm not the only one that has dark secret sins of ones past....I feel so troubled...I feel sick to my stomach.
