Should Christians have confessions with their Pastors?

I concur with most of what u said but I still think also as a Christian that confession is good for ones soul personally. When one confesses his/her sin their relieve themself of the burden of carrying their sin alone. Although the man/woman whether a Pastor, priest, Bishop or just a friend can't absorb one of the sin their can guide one to feel better about oneself and the burden of carrying the sin alone forever more. It is always better to hear that God has forgiven u of all sin by an authorized member of the clergy instead of just reading it. The human or personal contact always seems to make things better for the heart and soul of a person.
