>>14967612My parents taught me to confess my sins to the Lord before I sleep every night (and to ask for blessings upon friends and family). I don't always remember to but this innovation I attribute to the revolution in consciousness that Protestantism represents. It is self-reflective, self-accountable and self-reliant, an official priest won't necessarily be always available to expurgate your consciousness.
Rev. 1:5-6
>And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,>And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
