Is constant confession needed for forgiveness?

[jzeidler]

Hey everyone. I have a challenge for you. Everyone has been taught that in order to be forgiven after you're a Christian you have to confess your sins constantly and repent of them. Can anyone find me 5 bible verses, in the New Testament, after Jesus was crucified to support constant confession in order to gain forgiveness?

 

[chrysostom]

all you have to do is stop sinning
and
you will have to confess the lie
if
you say you have stopped sinning

What sin/sins? Only enemies need reconciliation-the war is over.


The "short account-ers," to the LORD God "probation officer:"

Now, just how much do I owe you, for this gift?

There are none.

if you're kept busy confessing your sins all the time, how will you find time to sin?

I don't have any and don't think anyone can give you 5 verses to that effect.

Yes, we need to ask forgiveness daily because we are all sinners..

Made up. Paul refers to members of the boc as saints, never as sinners. The most carnal group of, yes, forever justified members of the boc, the Corinthians, Paul always referred to as "saints." 'Sinners" is a named reserved for only lost people, such as yourself.

Good day to you, sir.

It is not sinful because God says to do it.

Christians who admit they are sinners remind themselves to be humble.

it is good thing to be humble.

God uses and used all kinds of humble people for His glory.

Do you consider yourself to be the "Epitome of Humility?"
