Answer 2

The so called "7 deadly sins" are a man made construction. The only deadly sin is to fail to trust Jesus for your salvation. However, if you want to see a list of seven sins that God hates, which by the way don't match up with the traditional list, here it is.

Proverbs 6:16 There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are an abomination to him: 17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, 19 a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.

And no, committing these sins won't keep you out of Heaven because Jesus paid our full sin debt, past, present and future.

Answer 3

The Seven Deadly Sins,as defined by the Catholic church are: Pride, Envy, Wrath, Avarice, Lust, Sloth, and Gluttony.
They are offset by the Seven Cardinal Virtues: Humility, Honesty, Diligence, Charity, Fidelity, Courage, and Purity. They are called Deadly sins because the early church distinguished between venal sins (which could be expiated with the sacrament of confession) and Capital sins (which could poison your soul and required much more stringent measures). All of them will keep you out of Heaven unless you obtain absolution. For further reading you might try the Catechisms of the Catholic Church.

Answer 4

Everyone has committed a deadly sin, whether they know it or not. Here they are:

PRIDE is excessive belief in one's own abilities, that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity.

ENVY is the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation.

GLUTTONY is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires.

LUST is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body.

ANGER is manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. It is also known as Wrath.

GREED is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. It is also called Avarice or Covetousness.

SLOTH is the avoidance of physical or spiritual work.

The Seven Deadly Sins are those that can lead to spiritual fatality. Yes, in a way, they are religious, but really they are more spiritual. Too much of one sin (or more than one, of course) can lead you send you spiraling into hell, whether it's a religious or personal one.

Answer 5

The seven deadly sins, also known as the capital vices or cardinal sins, are a classification of vices used in early Christian teachings to educate and protect followers from basic human instincts. The church divided sin into two types: venial (forgiven through any sacramental) and capital or mortal (meaning they can kill the life of grace and risk eternal damnation unless absolved in the sacrament of confession). Beginning in the early 14th-century, the popularity of the 7 deadly sins with artists of the time engrained them in human culture around the world. The generally accepted deadly sins are superbia (hubris/pride), avaritia (avarice/greed), luxuria (extravagance, later lust), invidia (envy), gula (gluttony), ira (wrath), and acedia (sloth). Each deadly sin is opposed by one of the corresponding Seven Holy Virtues.

Answer 6

pride
envy
anger
avarice/greed
sadness/sloth/lazyness/apathy
gluttony
lust

They are all things that will come in the way of your spiritual well-being. They come from the Roman Catholic church. "The church made a division between sins which were venial and could be forgiven without the need for the sacrament of Confession and those which were capital and merited damnation. Capital or Deadly Sins were so called because they could have a fatal effect on an individual’s spiritual health. " (see first source below)

I am Christian and I am a sinner, just like all of us. I believe that by humbling myself before God and asking Him for forgiveness in Jesus' name, asking for God's help in removing sin from my life and accepting Jesus' sacrifice for me is what lets me into heaven.

God bless.

Answer 7

Envy
Anger
Avarice
Sadness
Gluttony
Lust

I have suffered them all, In fact at the same time. If they keep you out of "heaven" is entirely dependant on the religion. I can tell you that if you are not careful these sins will kill just about anyone with enough time.

Hails to the learned heart,
Silence

Answer 8

I have committed 107 sins, but I don't think any of them were deadly, because I am still here.

Answer 9

Gluttony Greed Sloth Wrath Pride Lust Envy guilty on all accounts

Answer 10

I think that is a Roman Catholic teaching. People forget that to God, SIN IS SIN. There is no distinction to sin when God is involved. When the 10 commandments said "Thou shall not kill" and Jesus said " If you hate your brother, I tell you, You have already commited murder with him in your heart. ITS THE SAME THING. no difference!
