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.

Answer 2

The "Seven Deadly Sins" (lust, gluttony, etc.) is a list compiled by men. However, the Bible does list seven human traits that God really, really hates:

Proverbs 6

16 These six things the LORD hates,
Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:
17 A proud look,
A lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood,
18 A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that are swift in running to evil,
19 A false witness who speaks lies,
And one who sows discord among brethren.

I hope this helps!

Answer 3

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 seven 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 4

It's a silly invention of man.

All sin separates man from God, so in essence is deadly in an eternal view. Ranking sins by importance is not a Biblical view at all.

Answer 5
