Confession is a sacrament through which the members of the Body ofChrist receive absolution for their sins confessed before Christ.

Our Church teaches us that a priest of a valid succession is Christ itself at sacraments and not a representative.

People who walk indarkness are afraid of light and they want to justify their action,blame priests.

See how Adam and Eve responded to God when they were questioned by God whether they had eaten the fruit of the tree which He had forbidden.

Eve blamed Serpent and Adam blamed God for their action. If they would have confessed it before God then the destiny of mankind would have been different and that is why we are driven from the Garden of Eden.

Still it continues. People blame God.

You all fear to come to light.See, God has given you the opportunity to get remission for your sins through the Body of Christ (Jn 20:20)...Now it is up to you to receive it or not.

I had the chance of hearing the confession of two of our late Catholicoses, through which I learnt how they believe deep in their heart the power of the sacraments instituted by Our Lord and God.

You all might have heard the stories of Benedict achen and Reviachen who went to jail only because of them refusing to reveal the confession. You all might have read the confession of the wife ofthe real culprit of Fr.Benedict case.

Why they both were silent?

because both these priests believed what they are doing.

The next moment we may not get a chance to confess our sins, suppose if we are entering into the eternity.

Who will be the looser?

Will you get a chance over there?...think of it..I don't believe any of of our Orthodox Achens will reveal anything that they heard in a confession.

What you all wrote is a big lie. Ichallenge you to come forward and give a petition to their respective Metropolitans to take action on such Achens. According too ur canon, such achens will be excommunicated from priesthood and our community.

Spreading lies is the job of Devil. Do not allow the Devil to take you for a ride.While I was in Devalokam Aramana, a group of people approached thet hen Bava to remove their Vicar from their parish. They all were telling Bava that this achen has an affair with a lady of their congregation. Bava was keenly listening to them. Finally he asked them, some one in your group who happened to witness the achens actions, may continue and let others stop talking.

One of them did.then Bava took his hands and asked him to continue...Instead ofcontinuing, he knelt before Bava and cried to him, I lied...I lied,do not curse me, bless me and my family.....

Are you all becoming a vehicle to the Devil to spread all lies to belittle the Holy sacrament?

This is a sin against the Holy Spiritand Bible says, you will never be forgiven for that.

Confession is a Holy sacrament. It is not Counseling as many our writers think. Every valid priest is empowered to stand on behalf of God to absolve sins confessed, irespecive of who he is. This isfree...If any one desires for receiving it, let him come. Remember in death there are no Holy sacraments for the redemption.
