For catholics,what is a mortal sin to you?

Answer 1

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

A mortal sin is a grave infraction of the law of God that destroys the divine life in the soul of the sinner (sanctifying grace), constituting a turn away from God. For a sin to be mortal, three conditions must be present: grave matter, full knowledge of the evil of the act, and full consent of the will.

Most of the sins we commit are venial sins. Venial sin is a sin which does not destroy the divine life in the soul, as does mortal sin, though it diminishes and wounds it. Venial sin is the failure to observe necessary moderation, in lesser matters of the moral law, or in grave matters acting without full knowledge or complete consent.

However consistent unrepentant venial sins can slowly destroy your relationship with God and become mortal sin.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

A mortal sin is supposed to be a major sin that condemns you to hell becuase you act directly agasint god. I think though that all sins are forgiven by god but you earn your spot in heaveen or hell, its like the teacher than can forgive his student for not trying in class but at the end of the day the kid is the one that earns the grade by his efforts regardless of how the teacher feels. God loves unconditionally we are taught and i believe that all he wants out of us in this life is that we live the same way.

Answer 3

A mortal sin is a sin which completely severs your relationship with God. It is a sin in which you have to turn completely away from teh love and grace of God to commit.
