Where do we get this idea of mortal and veneal sins,
surely all sins carry the same price,
Adam ate a fruit and bougfht sin and death onto the world
How come his punishment and the resulting curse on all of mankind was far greater for eating a piece of fruit then it was for Cain who killed his own brother
lets weigh it up
eating a bit of fruit- vs murder
surely by your catholci reckoning the murderer is the more guiltier and should spend further time in purgatory
if that's the case why did cain not recieve a much harasher punishment then that which adam incured...the destruction of paradise?
isn't it written
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 19
which of the 10 commandments is the smallest?
the 1st,
the second?
or do they all carry the same penalty?
