About Catholic Sacrament of Penance and direct repentance @ WWHSS (Alpha)

"Which is more biblical: the Catholic Sacrament of Penance or direct repentance?" @ WWHSS (Alpha)

✔ Answer：
The Catholic Sacrament of Penance is a biblical practice that allows for the forgiveness of sins through the ministry of the Church. Direct repentance is also biblical, but it requires complete and honest confession of sins to God alone. Jesus gave his disciples the authority to forgive sins in John 20:23, which is continued by the Catholic Church through the sacrament of Penance. Therefore, both practices are biblical and important for the life of a Christian.

✔ Reference text：
Mark 11:25 And whenever you make a prayer, let there be forgiveness in your hearts, if you have anything against anyone; so that you may have forgiveness for your sins from your Father who is in heaven.

Mark 11:28 And they said to him, By what authority do you do these things? or who gave you authority to do these things?
Mark 11:29 And Jesus said to them, I will put to you one question; give me an answer, and I will say by what authority I do these things.
