What if lust, anger and greed are perverse reflections of something spiritual, eternal and divine?
However, on this material plane of existence it is said that lust, anger and greed are the gates to hell.

they are desires of the base self... ego based desires.
one must purify one's heart to be free of them so they do not lead you to gaving impure soul
Also, God forgives and helps those who ask for it.

Lust, anger and greed are among my favorite deadly sins. How could we do without them. There would be no political system in the United States. Democrats are distinguished by lust while Republicans favor greed. Anger had been suppressed until the Neutricans came along then the Republicans and evangelicals kind of took over the anger thing. Yep, Ya gotta love these sins. You know that the evangelicals are preaching that greed is good and it is supported by biblical dogma, I think it's Exodus 22:18 or something like that.

God's holy word was written so that we might know and understand right from wrong. My opinion is the same as God's These are sins of the flesh that christians deal with every day. It's tough.. but with God's help we are able to walk away from them.

Lust is one of the greatest emotions imo. Without lust, the human race would not exist. No one would have sex.

The best combination is to have wild, scratching, biting, anal sex with a pastor's wife in a pile of money on the alter of St. Cathedral's church.
If you do this you will go to heaven no matter what other good things you may have done in your life.

three of the seven deadly sins...
lust - evil ways of the flesh, obsession of the flesh
anger - evil action of the flesh, often leading to chaotic scenarios
greed - evil wants of the flesh, often good descriptions for politicians... LOL

They are considered some of the root poisons causing suffering but there are solutions too.
