Are all sins equal in god's eyes?

Question

I glad to see people answering like that.

Answer 1

It's my understanding that denying the "holy spirit" is an unforgivable sin.

No expert though, so if I'm wrong anyone, I humbly accept your thumbs down.

Answer 2

According to most Christians, overeating in a restaurant (gluttony) is the same as killing 30 people. Worse, if you insult god you can not be forgiven (the fine print as far as Jesus dying for your sins), but raping an altar boy is no biggy if you repent. God sounds like a child. His ego is so bad that he will let child killers into heaven if they say sorry, but if you make him blush it is an eternal burning in hell(complements of an "all loving' god). BULL S***. If there was a god, the Christians never heard of him. When you can do anything but question the religion, it is entirely a political weapon. If morals come from god, then why do I feel the 7 deadly sins are a bit f***ed up? God could use a lesson in priorities. Give me 5 minutes with the baby killing earth flooding d***, and I will shape him up.

Answer 3

With the exception of the unpardonable sin, blasphemy of the Holy Ghost, all sin can be forgiven. All one has to do is accept Jesus as Lord and Savior. This includes everything from stealing a paper clip at work to murder.

The point is not that so called "big sins" don't matter, it is that even the slightest sin does matter and is offensive to God. As none of us is perfect, "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God."

Even the seemingly smallest sin will keep you out of Heaven unless you accept the price that Jesus paid on the cross.

Answer 4

All sin carries the penalty of death, however this death is a spiritual death. That is to say a sinner is separated from God in this life and the next.

However some sins carry the death penalty. God instructed the Israelites to "purge the evil" from among them.

These sins were things like adultery, homosexuality, bestiality, murder, and the like.

There were also distinctions made between intentional sin and unintentional sin. These distinctions are very blurry in the contemporary christian theology and doctrine. In fact your not likely to hear it discussed or preached at all, but its in the Bible.

God Bless,

Answer 5

I was on a christian chat room the other day (I'm athiest by the way) and i was amazed at the amount of people who would have anwered this with a yes. I was shocked to find out that a group of people who believe in a caring loving intelligent creator would think that something like petty theft or coveting your neighbors wife is the same thing as torturing a child to death. I hope that if there is a god that he/she/it would be intelligent enough to see the difference.

Answer 6

You know, I hear so many Fundamentalists say this, but I really can't understand it. No, I don't think all sins are equal in God's eye, but I do think all sin is offensive to him. That's why I avoid even tiny sins if I am aware of them.

Answer 7

There is no sin in god's eyes. Sin is in the eye of the beholder. Beware belief systems that instruct you to see it.

Answer 8

Sin is sin to God... but He is going to judge us not on how many sins we have ... but the actual sins themself. He is going to look at the whole picture... not just part of it. I'm not going to say that He sees them equally... no one but God would know that.

Answer 9

There is no sin greater than the other one all sin is sin in God's eyes.

Answer 10

No its actually much worse to kill a person than to say hate them but in regard to eternal salvation and consequences they are all the same.
