Hailo_ all god wants if for you to believe and be a good person accept the fact his son died for your sins as well as mine,you do not need to go to church to know GOD that is a personal relationship, we each have our own way of loving him for me , i am not afraid to say see i believe even if others say they do not, i even had a cross tatt. on my back that was personal for me, so you do what you feel is right and do not let anyone tell you that you are wrong, its whats in you heart and soul that matters! 
Thanks for the advice, the more I get the better. Right now, I think a lot of the topic you and others have mentioned above. Right now, i'm in a dilemma figuring out if Christianity is really for me
. I will stay spiritual, but the religous factor has been thought about in my mind a lot these past few days because YE4(religous seminar) is coming.QUOTE(sanchera1978 @ Jun 30 2005, 09:10 AM)
Why would you have to confess to god when god knows your sins already? If you actually repent your sins it will come from the heart and god will know you are being truthful. If you go to a confessional you can confess all the sins you have committed but if it doesnt come from the heart what good would it do to confess to a preacher. Alot of people confess and then they go right back to doing the same sin they just confessed about i dont think thats what god wants. I think its more important to repent your sins and not do them again then to confess to another man. Preachers are no more holy then u and I so why confess to another sinner.
You have a point there, I was thinking about this the last time I went to confession with my friends. I felt like even though I prayed for forgiveness from all the sins i've commited in that day, and yet I still have to go to a Church and tell this man my sins.
