I always confess my sins in person..my mouth to Gods ear

As do Catholics. The problem is you lack the ability to absolve yourself of those sins particularly those committed against others.

What type of penance do you assign yourself?

right from my home..

Is that another feature of the dogma of the church of smorgasbord relativism?

"Is any of you sad? Let him pray. Is he cheerful in mind? Let him sing. Is any man sick among you? Let him bring in the priests of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith shall save the sick man: and the Lord shall raise him up: and if he be in sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess therefore your sins one to another: and pray one for another, that you may be saved. For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much." James 5:13-16

Could you show me where the apostles taught the need to do penance ? "Say 2 Hail Marys and 2 Our Fathers.. do you REALLY THING that satisfies the wrath of God??

Where does it say in scripture one has to go to church to confess their sin ??

So do you confess your sins to other MEMBERS of the church? The scripture does not say confess your sins to a priest does it? Maybe because there were no priests in the NT church..

This admonition is to confess your sins to the one offended..or just in Christian fellowship.. no where does it promote "confession" to a priest..

The early church had a time during the service when people confessed their sins out loud.. I have no problem with that..

But I do not need a priest to hear my sin..I have an advocate with the Father.. I can go directly to the throne of God
