All sins equally bad?
I said this in another forum without any references and it kind of embarrassed me:
To God, no sin is greater than the other. Is this true ??

Re: All sins equally bad?
Well, hard to explain. It depends on your religion. If you believe in an old form of Christianity there are sins called: The seven Deadly sins.
I think they were: Greed, Gluttony, Lust, and all the names of the other FullMA evil people.

Re: All sins equally bad?
Well, there are many sins, but some must be geater than others, since there are the "Seven Deadly Sins" even though there are more than seven. They are just not as bad. I guess you could call that greater. So, I guess that saying might not be true, in general. But like SheikahOps said, it all depends.

Re: All sins equally bad?
I'm sorry, I forgot to say that I meant in Christianity. The seven deadly sins are not mentioned under that term in the Bible. From what I know Dante was the one who came up with this idea and he was a dramatic writer, not a prophet or anything similar.

Re: All sins equally bad?
Hmmm... Thats a very good question. But I mean... Lets get a little more real here. Murdering someone has to have some degree higher than just stealing an Orange from the local Super Market? I mean you've taken some eles life appose to 10c lost from the Super Market...
But when it comes to God and the way he see's things, They are most likely all the same to him. As it plains him to see his children doing such things.... Its pretty hard to say.

Well I don't believe in the Christian god, nor any god/deity unless it has been proven. But like V99 said:

Re: All sins equally bad?
Well, I'm agnostic just like Lord Ganon but I would have to say some sins are worse than others in Christianity. For insance, why would commiting Homicide be equal to running a stop sign?

Re: All sins equally bad?
Technically, they are all the same, but one sin can lead to the next. So basicly, if you don't repent and turn from sin, you will continue sinning(not good). But there is one great sin, to reject Christ.
P.S. I'm just saying what I think, but I can look into this more.

Re: All sins equally bad?
The way this works is that all sins are equal in God's eyes, but some have more earthly consquenses than others. For instance, stealing has some consequenses (like jail time). Depending on the value of the item, it's harsher or less harsh. But killing someone can get you either in jail for life or dead, and people would lose all respect for you. Not a good life. In Gods eyes it's the same, but it causes more long term earthly problems.
I don't think the Divine Comedy is the best reference, because Dante wrote it in exile after the church kicked him out for beliving non-catholic things. In fact, I think he metions the pope in hell. I'll check later. ~Ganon not gannon

Re: All sins equally bad?
Well many Christians do say all sins are equal in God's eyes, that's not entirely true. The point is, if you commit one sin, you are sinful and in danger of God's judgement.

Re: All sins equally bad?
A sin is a sin in God's eye. Dosen't matter how big or small./ It's the outcome that is different. There's no real scale as to which sins are worse. What really matters is that God forgives!

Re: All sins equally bad?
I agree with that too.
And Dante is not the right place to look for definitions of sins and how grave they are, neither is Catholic interpretations. Sorry, pip. It was an interesting read nontheless. I want to know what the Bible says.
