This is another example of someone of a different faith than mine having absolutely wonderful opinions about something.

Before you decide to watch this video, you should know several things.
1. It’s very long (go figure. If the video’s not long enough that you feel like you should clock in to be able to watch it, what’s the point of posting it? lol)
2. It contains an incredible amount of swearing, raunchy humor, and some graphic conversations about sex/porn.
However, the way that they were able to sit down and have an entire discussion about the way they felt like they were hurt by one another and still hug it out in the end. The way that they were both able to break each other down in order to build each other up is AMAZING to me. This, I believe, is the biblical way to “go to your brother”. I, along with 99% of the world, am way too soft and emotional to do this, but I pray that God gives me and the rest of the world the emotional toughness to.

This is a hard teaching, but I believe that it’s a true teaching.

I am obviously not a Catholic. I don’t believe that priests have the authority to forgive sins, only God can do that (Matthew 9:2-7). However, I believe that he is correct that we should confess our sins to one another. While I believe that Catholics make this more complicated than it should be (you don’t need to go into a box where the one you’re confessing to doesn’t know who you are, just simply have someone who you trust to confess to), I can see how SOME people would feel more comfortable confessing their sin anonymously. I can also see the obligation to confess at these specific times as being positive for some people. This seems to be another one of those things that can very easily cause someone to sin or not do all the steps to help them get out of habitual sin, but it could be a net positive for others (i.e. if the person goes to Catholic Confession while also confessing to God and afterwards truly does everything in their power to stop that sin).

I really need to work on this in my own life.

Wow, this is crazy!

As with any testimony, this could all be fake, but it seems genuine. This is so powerful!
