<p>What’s a word for an object that erases all of someone’s sins? I’m doing some writing and can’t think of the appropriate word.</p>
<p>The blood of Jesus, haha.</p>
<p>Uh, IDK… a purger? an absolver? Tohse are the noun versions of the verbs associated with what you described.</p>
<p>no such thing exists?</p>
<p>I believe that you are referring to indulgences, and although they don’t erase someone of all their sins, they can be purchased to gain a better chance at salvation. Martin Luther wrote the 95 Theses in response to the Catholic Church selling indulgences. This is seen as a cause of the Protestant Reformation.</p>
<p>…Oh wait, AP World History has been over for weeks.</p>
<p>Absolution?</p>
<p>cleansed?
Reconciliation?</p>
<p>it’s called a jesus</p>
<p>Secularism?</p>
<p>Atonement, or the action of atoning.</p>
<p>EDIT: Oh, object. Hmmm…I would tentatively agree with indulgences, but they don’t precisely have the meaning that you’re looking for. Indulgences simply lower the amount of time you or a loved one supposedly spends in purgatory.</p>
<p>wow, weird just came across this thread after reading the first bible acts</p>
<p>And I just came across this thread after sinning.</p>
<p>Indulgences?</p>
<p>Relics maybe too, but they’re slightly different.</p>
<p>An eraser .</p>
<p>Confession? BTW ^^ Nice reply.</p>
<p>Its called penance</p>
<p>or a whip</p>
<p>A word for something that erases all of what religion deems are “sins”? Reason.</p>
<p>Forgiveness</p>
<p>I wanna say a penance also, oh church, I haven’t been there in forever.</p>
<p>^^I think so too.</p>
<p>I somewhat agree with reason as well though. It seems to contrast with faith and religion.</p>
<p>Uh, catharsis?</p>
<p>Not exactly sins though.</p>
