No sermonizing please!

I see a distinction being made in Scripture about different kinds of sin. Yes, 'sin is sin' but some sin does more damage and will get you and others into greater guilt.

A sin is a sin in Gods eyes, but the punishment for that sin may be different. IE: Killing someone could send you to prison while stealing a kit kat could just embarrass you a little bit.
Of course a person I look at murder as bad and stealing a kit kat as not so bad. I'm only human!

God's eyes are pretty much the only ones that matter - And no, he doesn't see all sin as equal, or he wouldn't have dealt with sins differently in the Bible

In Gods eyes all sins are the same. In my eyes they are different, I can't help it I think a rapist or murderer is worse than a person who tells white lies. However there is forgiveness for all the good and the bad.

Gosh I hope not!! I hate to be put in the same category as a murderer just because I ate a whole peach cobbler pie, or swore at my neighbor because his dog pooped in my yard. No, I don't think so, God is a little more fair than that, I hope.... Sorry neighbor!

All sins but one are the same in Heavenly Father's eyes.
Above all others, though, is denying the Holy Spirit.

Yea a sin is a sin, doesn't matter how big, it's still a sin.

It doesn't matter - sin just separates us from God no matter how bad it is.

Yes, I think they are all equal. God sees them all equally

A "sin" is a transgression of The Law... regardless of what it is.
