What are the 9 (i think) sins?

Answer 1

The seven deadly sins, also known as the capital vices or cardinal sins, are a classification of vices used in early Christian teachings to educate and protect followers from (immoral) fallen man's tendency to sin. The Roman Catholic Church divides sin into two types: venial (forgiven through any sacramental) and capital or mortal (meaning they kill the life of grace and risk eternal damnation unless absolved in the sacrament of confession, or taken away by a perfect contrition). Beginning in the early 14th century, the popularity of the seven deadly sins with artists of the time ingrained them in human culture around the world.

Listed in the same order used by both Pope Gregory the Great in the 6th Century AD and Dante Alighieri, the seven deadly sins are as follows: luxuria (extravagance, later lust), gula (gluttony), avaritia (avarice/greed), acedia (sloth), ira (wrath), invidia (envy), and superbia (pride/hubris). Each deadly sin is opposed by one of the corresponding Seven Holy Virtues.

The identification and definition of the Sins is a fluid process and, like many aspects of religion, the idea of what each sin encompasses has changed over time. This was exacerbated by the fact that the Sins are not considered in a structured manner in the Bible, and works referencing the sins were gradually considered sources for others to base their definitions on. The second section of the Divine Comedy, Purgatorio, is the most well known source for defining the sins, though modern interpretations often show those guilty of the Sins suffering in Hell, not purifying themselves in Purgatory.

Answer 2

There are a few collections of "sins" that are around that number. For instance:

Mahatma Gandhi has a list of "deadly sins:"

~ Wealth without work
~ Pleasure without conscience
~ Knowledge without character
~ Commerce without morality
~ Science without humanity
~ Religion without sacrifice
~ Politics without principle

Then there are the traditional Judeo-Christian seven "deadly sins:"

~ Lust
~ Gluttony
~ Avarice (greed)
~ Sloth
~ Envy
~ Pride
~ Wrath

Then, there are then nine "Satanic sins:"

~ Stupidity
~ Pretentiousness
~ Solipsism
~ Self-deceit
~ Herd Conformity
~ Lack of Perspective
~ Forgetfulness of Past Orthodoxies
~ Counterproductive Pride
~ Lack of Aesthetics


So, depending on which list you really want, they are quite different. Still, I'm sure you could find countless lists of "sins" if you really wanted to.

Answer 3

Pride is excessive belief in one's own abilities, that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity.

Envy is the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation.

Gluttony is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires.

Lust is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body.

Anger is manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. It is also known as Wrath.

Greed is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. It is also called Avarice or Covetousness.

Sloth is the avoidance of physical or spiritual work

Answer 4

I think you are inquiring of the seven deadly sins. I think they are lust, greed, envy, lies, jealousy, conceit, hate and adultery.

Answer 5

There's a lot more than nine, but The Ten Commandments is a good place to start.

Exd 20:3 ¶ Thou shalt have no other gods before me.


Exd 20:4 ¶ Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth:


Exd 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me;


Exd 20:6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.


Exd 20:7 ¶ Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.


Exd 20:8 ¶ Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.


Exd 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:


Exd 20:10 But the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy gates:


Exd 20:11 For [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them [is], and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.


Exd 20:12 ¶ Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.


Exd 20:13 ¶ Thou shalt not kill.


Exd 20:14 ¶ Thou shalt not commit adultery.


Exd 20:15 ¶ Thou shalt not steal.


Exd 20:16 ¶ Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.


Exd 20:17 ¶ Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ***, nor any thing that [is] thy neighbour's.
