Hey, I would like to know what are your guy's view on confession?
I have been baptised but never been to a confession booth before...so am I in any danger or trouble?

I kind of think confession is unessessary, what you've done wrong is between you and God, in my opinion.

It depends what your relationship is to God, and what you believe. I do not do confessions in a booth. If i want to confess a sin, i speak directly to Him. I have a friend, however, who is Catholic and finds it easier to confess her sins and have someone tell her she is relieved and forgiven.
Its personal preference, belief, and values i think.

I confess my sins when i pray at the end of my day...and that's when i ask to be forgiven for all the mistakes i may have done. Feels like it works, too. "Confession is good for the soul"...it relieves a lot of stress, i'll tell ya that!
LOL

The formal confession is an almost purely catholic practice.
it is not biblically based (although I do confess that I have no idea what is in those extra books they have "added"* to the bible) biblical confessions are about your time with God alone and building a relationship.
*they have other books that were supposedly a part of the bible, I'm not claiming that they added anything.
I would acctually dig to read these sometime because of their historical value.

Actually, it is Biblically based, taken in part from John Chapter 20, Whose sins you shall forgive they are forgiven and then something about whose sins they retain (don't forgive) are retained. There are other verses, but that is one of the major ones talking about somebody forgiving in God's name.

Because i know that is Purely Catholic based.

I think the main concpet behind it is to feel embarassed about it so you will top doing it. My advice is to have confession with your friend. MY Youth Pastor had this thing in college with his roomates, RAT

If you mean formal confession is part of the Catholic church and not others, this is true (as far as I know), but it is Biblically based. The Bible doesn't specifically say it needs to be done in a confessional, of course; that part was started so people could stay anonymous to the Priest when confessing. Priests will offer to go face-to-face for people who prefer it.

God never told us to confess through priests... Jesus just told us to pray to God, and Paul reinforced it (with God's obvious permission.)

I recall it saying to ask God for forgiveness... but i don't ever recall it saying that you had to talk to a priest to be forgiven. I could be wrong, but can you site that for me?

See, I don't wanna jump into this debate but just throw in a little comment, kay? I think that you can definitally find that a good thing to do but it is not neccesary in getting into heaven. Being an independent christian myself I do not know much about catholics besides what my grandmother (being a catholic) has told me or when I have gone to church with her. The verse that you sorta quoted "whose sins shall forgive, they are forgiven" will give some biblical reference if taken in a certain context. The way I see it it means more like, it is an option but you could always just go straight to god and he can forgive you. But great points both of you. *jumps out of debate*
