Does anyone know what the difference is between a sin from the ten commandments and just a sin from the bible?

Answer 1

Sin is a deliberate thought, word, deed, or omission contrary to the eternal law of God.

The Bible and the Ten Commandments are the primary guides to the eternal law of God.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

There are sins beyond the 10-Commandments. The list of ten are the major sins. The others also are to be accounted for at the Day of Judgement... to be weighed against 'virtues, and to show to the human being judged as to the side to which the Balance of Justice tilts. The Virtue shall include the sincerity in Faith.

Answer 3

Same sins. By definition, to sin is to fall short of the Glory of God--He gave the OT guys a much more painstaking description than He gave the followers of His Son, but they had years of practice at the basics through Judaism. So He probably figured they could fill in the blanks. Actually, Christ's adjurations were far more inclusive than were Moses'. And, really, He also wrote them in each man's heart--we call it the conscience.
As to all that other stuff, most of it was for the preservation of His people, who were hard-headed and inclined to be willful. So He made all the eating and washing and stuff very big points--but it was the Jews, themselves, who called them sins.

Answer 4

mortal and venial sin...

Mortal versus Venial Sin


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A serious, grave or mortal sin is the knowing and willful violation of God's law in a serious matter, for example, idolatry, adultery, murder, slander. These are all things gravely contrary to the love we owe God and, because of Him, our neighbor. As Jesus taught, when condemning even looking at a woman lustfully, sin can be both interior (choices of the will alone) or exterior (choices of the will carried into action). A man who willfully desires to fornicate, steal, murder or some other grave sin, has already seriously offended God by choosing interiorly what God has prohibited.

Mortal sin is called mortal because it is the "spiritual" death of the soul (separation from God). If we are in the state of grace it loses this supernatural life for us. If we die without repenting we will lose Him for eternity. However, by turning our hearts back to Him and receiving the Sacrament of Penance we are restored to His friendship. Catholics are not allowed to receive Communion if they have unconfessed mortal sins.

Venial sins are slight sins. They do not break our friendship with God, although they injure it. They involve disobedience of the law of God in slight (venial) matters. If we gossip and destroy a person's reputation it would be a mortal sin. However, normally gossip is about trivial matters and only venially sinful. Additionally, something that is otherwise a mortal sin (e.g. slander) may be in a particular case only a venial sin. The person may have acted without reflection or under force of habit. Thus, not fully intending the action their guilt before God is reduced. It is always good to remember, especially those who are trying to be faithful but sometimes fall, that for mortal sin it must not only be 1) serious matter, but 2) the person must know it is serious and then 3) freely commit it.

These two categories of sin are explicitly to be found in Sacred Scripture. In the Old Covenant there were sins that merited the death penalty and sins that could be expiated by an offering. This Law was a teacher that prepared the way for the faith (Gal. 3:24). In the New Covenant these material categories are replaced by spiritual ones, natural death by eternal death. There are thus daily faults for which we must daily ask forgiveness (Mt. 6:12), for even the "just man falls seven times a day" (Prov. 24:16), and mortal faults that separate the sinner from God (1 Cor. 6:9-10) for all eternity.

Answer 5

The Bible defines sin basically as breaking the commandments (a million John 3:4). each little thing else is roofed interior the commandments. as an occasion, in case you hate somebody, it is roofed interior the only that prohibits homicide. while you're infatuated with a married lady, it counts as breaking the commandment. For God there's no degree of guilt between sins (James 2:10-12). The commandments in that verse are referred to as the regulation of liberty. we are in a position to no longer be conscious them in our very own power yet we are in a position to if we enable God artwork by using us. See Phil. 4:13 and John 15:4,5. John 14:15 tells us that the evidence that we like Jesus is that we save the commandments. it would be an oxymoron for God to ask us to do something that He is conscious we are in a position to no longer do by some potential. the key is to rely on His skill to obey.

Answer 6

Catholics classifies sin against the 10 commandments as Mortal Sin and others as Venial sin (unless the Vatican specifies it). If you commit mortal sin you have to ask forgiveness preferably to either get the sacrament of confession or Annointing of the sick to go back to God. Venial sin are lesser sins that human commits most of the time(because we are " Human").

Answer 7

All sin is bad...The 10 commandments are kind of like guidlines. If you follow them, you're probably living a good life...

Answer 8

Sin= anything against the will of God

Answer 9
