Which according to you is the biggest sin in the world?

Question

Out of all the man made sins which according to you is the most damaging and why? Is it violence and anger?

Answer 1

murder,torture,rape

Answer 2

All sin is seen exactly the same in the eyes of God. All are just as damaging to a relationship with Him as any other.

But because Christ died on the cross for our sins, we are able to come to the Father and repent of our sins.

Answer 3

I am not sure what you would identify as a man made sin. If you define it as one humankind commits, then the biggest would be to turn one's back on one's deity. Most religions do not grant humanity the capacity to create / man made sin. We only commit them and yes, violence is an especially ugly one.

Answer 4

Extreme Self treachery,
Extreme Violence against one's own self.

Suicide - the highest sin among all.

Because God is very very harsh for a number of decades (and lives) against the one who commits this sin. It is said that he will punish one with at least 7 repetitions of this sin if one commits this !

Answer 5

Sin is the result of being disobedient to the word of God.
I would not be presumptuous enough to label one sin greater than another.
Though God said blaspheme the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

Answer 6

Blasphemy

Answer 7

Well, in the bible it says that there is no sin greater than the other. A sin, is a sin, to God. We, as humans, make different sins greater, depending on our cultures.

Answer 8

I believe there is mental illness and mistakes but I don't believe in sin. I think that is a primitive thought concept.

Answer 9

Sin is disobeying a commandment of God. When Jesus was asked which is the greatest comandment, He replied

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. Matthew 22 :37-38

In monotheistic religions such as the Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, the code of conduct is determined by God (HaShem/Allah) and immorality is considered to be sin which may be forgiven by repentance.

In this religious context, an act that violates Gods moral code of conduct or the state of having committed such a violation is a sin and iniquity, perversity, depravity and guilt are gradations of sin.

Morality refers to the concept of human ethics which pertains to matters of good and evil —also referred to as "right or wrong", used within three contexts: individual conscience; systems of principles and judgments — sometimes called moral values —shared within a cultural, religious, secular, Humanist, or philosophical community; and codes of behavior or conduct.

Personal morality defines and distinguishes among right and wrong intentions, motivations or actions, as these have been learned, engendered, or otherwise developed within each individual.

God's commandments are found In the Bible (TaNaK) and the Qur'an. In the TaNaK (Old Testatment of Bible), God's commandments are called mitzvah/mitzvot in Hebrew (מצווהmitzvah "commandment"; plural, mitzvot; from צוה, tzavah, "command") and there are 613 (not 10) of them, the do's and dont's. Many of the mitzvot cannot be carried out because they are involved with temple sacrifices. Many of the mitzvot are dietary restrictions. The mitzvot may be summarized by the 7 Noahide Laws.

The Hebrew word for sin is avera. Teshuva (Hebrew תשובה, returning), is the way of atoning for sin in Judaism.
Judaism describes three levels of sin:
---o Pesha פשע or Mered - An intentional sin; an action committed in deliberate defiance of God; (Strong's Concordance :H6588 (פשעpesha', peh'shah). According to Strong it comes from the root (:H6586); rebellion, transgression, trespass.
---o Avon - This is a sin of lust or uncontrollable emotion. It is a sin done knowingly, but not done to defy God; (Strong's Concordance :H5771 (avon, aw-vone). According to Strong it comes from the root (:H5753); meaning perversity, moral evil:--fault, iniquity, mischief.
---o Cheit - חַטָּא This is an unintentional sin, crime or fault. (Strong's Concordance :H2399 (khate). According to Strong it comes from the root khaw-taw (:H2398, H2403) meaning "to miss, to err from the mark (speaking of an archer), to sin, to stumble."

The Arabic word for sin is ذنب dhanb. Tawba (returning), is the way of atoning for sin in Islam.

Islam distinguishes several gradations of sin:
---o sayyia, khatia: mistakes (Suras 7:168; 17:31; 40:45; 47:19 48:2)
---o itada, junah, dhanb: immorality (Suras 2:190,229; 17:17 33:55)
---o haram: transgressions (Suras 5:4; 6:146)
---o ithm, dhulam, fujur, su, fasad, fisk, kufr: wickedness and depravity (Suras 2:99, 205; 4:50, 112, 123, 136; 12:79; 38:62; 82:14)
---o shirk: ascribing a partner to Allah (Sura 4:48)

Every child is born “fitrat“ (nature) without any sin (guiltless or innocent) and he remains such unless he intentionally commits a sin (i.e. disobeys Allah's commandments). Muslims believe that Allah is angered by sin and punishes some sinners with the fires of Hell (jahannam), but that He is also the Merciful (ar-rahman) and the Forgiving (al-ghaffar), and forgives those who repent and serve Him.

The word in Arabic for "holy" is zakiyya, a word with the root meaning "purity". This form of the word principally means "innocent, pure, clean, faultless". Islam accepts that Jesus and his mother were zakiyya.

Throughout the Muslim world today it is generally believed that all of the prophets enjoyed an "isma", a protection against sin, and that they were accordingly sinless. It is one of the anomalies of Islam that this doctrine has been established and maintained against the plain teaching of the Quran and Hadith to the contrary.

Answer 10

I find looking up to Sinners as rather disgusting, even ahead of abortion, vanity, buying retail and following religion in general.

Answer 11

Abuse of power - it creates resentment and outrage, fear and submission, disgust and anger.
It promotes cruelty and inhumanity, arrogance and spite, thoughtlessness and carelessness.
It embodies bigotry and sadism and it's only true sum is wickedness, dishonesty and suffering.
It runs roughshod over lives and souls and can utterly crush and destroy.
Whatever power we are afforded must be used with complete respect and care.
