Sounds an whole lot like the Roman Church teaching of absolution. I guess you'd have to chuck the every one of the solas to find it "logical." |

RC,
I got it! I skimmed it quickly and it looks like you got some good points. Of course, I will have to research it more in depth. Thank you again.

Tamara, in John 20:23 Jesus expressly gives the apostles authority to forgive or retain sins. Matthew corroborates this by citing the plural form "to men", where he could have said, "to a man."
John 20:23 is pretty literal. And you're right to be shaken up; this particular verse got to me as well.

Tamara, I didn't say anything about church hierarchy or pope or bishop or anything like that, I was citing scriptures that indicate authority to forgive sin (as to perform baptism) is conveyed to man through Christ: be that man an elder, priest, bishop, what have you, it's not the man who forgives or baptizes but the Spirit of Christ working through him. In all cases, the glory is to God, not to man.
I also note that in James forgiveness is offered to those already in Christ but who've apparently sinned after the fact of believing in Him. This forgiveness comes via a "prayer of faith" from an elder.
Webster's 1828 edition notes that presbyter is the derivation of the English "priest", btw, which, during the apostles' time, didn't have the negative connotations it has today.
