What are the "seven deadly sins" the Catholics added to the Word of God?

Question

The bible writes, "The wages of sin is death. But the gift of God is eternal life." So to me, all sins are deadly.

7 things the LORD hates: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Answer 1

Here are the seven holy virtues as opposites to the seven deadly sins. All are derived from the Scriptures.

According to Dante's The Divine Comedy the sins have an order of greatness, and the virtues a respective order of greatness as well. This order is shown below from the lowest to the highest.

+ Holy Virtues +
Chastity (purity)
Moderation (self-restraint)
Generosity (vigilance)
Zeal (enthusiasm)
Meekness (composure)
Charity (giving)
Humility (humbleness)

+ Deadly Sins +
Lust (inappropriate desire)
Gluttony (over-indulgence)
Greed (avarice)
Sloth (laziness)
Wrath (anger)
Envy (jealousy)
Pride (vanity)

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

The Seven deadly Sins, having come below contemporary scrutiny on the hands of the 1995 action picture, Se7en are: Gluttony Greed Sloth Lust conceitedness Envy Wrath they are, nevertheless unquestionably sins that Scripture condemns, to no longer be contemporary in Scripture in this form of grouping. The seven sins originated in the writings of medieval theologues and function been remarked upon with the aid of such pronounced personages as Pope Gregory the super, Thomas Aquinas, Geoffery Chaucer, and John Milton. additionally of interest is a Scriptural checklist that bears a minimum of a few similarity to the historic checklist of 7. Proverbs 6:sixteen-19 famous: those six issues the Lord hates, specific, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud seem, A mendacity tongue, hands that shed harmless blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, ft that are fast in working to evil, A fake witness who speaks lies, And one that sows discord between brethren. Now jointly as those are patently sins despised with the aid of the Lord, none of those are waiting to maintain one from salvation if he will only repent and have confidence.

G - Gluttony (overeating - but picture it as the sinful sort - in the Medieval times, kings overate because they were wealthy and possessed the power to eat as much as they desired, just because they wanted to flaunt their status)
A - Anger (acting upon it in a harmful way -- to onself or another)
S - Sloth (being extremely lazy, in such a way that you fail to reach out to your potential in many areas, and hurt others and yourself because of acting this way)
