A @Christadelphians Video: Description: The various Church views of Confession are explained, and shown why they have no basis in scripture.

A wonderful hope of eternal life on this earth awaits all those who faithfully turn to truth explained in the Bible. ### Summary Confession, as taught in the Bible, requires sincere acknowledgment of sin to God, contrasting with church traditions that often misinterpret this practice. ### Highlights - 📖 Biblical Confession: True confession is a heartfelt admission of guilt to God. - ⚖️ Importance of Confession: It is crucial for receiving God's forgiveness and cleansing from unrighteousness. - 🔍 Misconceptions: Many church traditions lack biblical foundation, often stemming from customs or commercialism. - 🙏 Direct to God: Confession should be made directly to God, not through a priest or intermediary. - 💔 Genuine Repentance: Confession must involve remorse and a commitment to change, not just a superficial apology. - ✝️ Template of Confession: The Bible provides a clear template for confession, illustrated in Genesis and Psalms. - 🌍 Hope in Forgiveness: Genuine confession leads to joy and hope in God's future kingdom. ### Key Insights - 📜 **Biblical Basis for Confession**: Confession is not merely admitting guilt; it is a heartfelt acknowledgment of wrongdoing before God, as emphasized in the Old and New Testaments.
