Are modern Christians misunderstanding confession?

Is confession really necessary… or has it been misinterpreted over time?

In this powerful and eye-opening video, we confront and refute modern misconceptions about the Holy Sacrament of Confession from an Orthodox theological perspective.

Many today believe:

• “I can confess directly to God—why a priest?”

• “Confession is a man-made tradition”

• “God forgives me anyway, so why confess?”

But are these beliefs truly biblical… or are they dangerous misunderstandings?
