Christians Only Please.............. About Sin?

Question

As a Christian, how do you believe God judges sin? Do you believe it is worse to kill or steal????? Post what you believe....
I personally believe this..... I believe we are all judged on one thing.... Are you covered by the Blood of Jesus..... But... when it comes down to sin as we judge it... . I believe God does not judge on the sin it's self. I believe Stealing is just as bad as Killing.....

Answer 1

i pretty much agree.
any sin will keep you out of heaven. you just have to repent. whether you are a mass murderer or you told one little lie they are both sins.

Answer 2

I just wanted to tell you that you wrote to a boy named justin and your answer inspired me. You are a wonderful person and you help others by giving your faith to others. God only judges sin by sin. It is not killing or stealing in the eyes of God it is the sin itself. As you know, there is nothing we can do that He would not forgive as long as we are sorry. The problem is these things happen and many have no conscience, to even say sorry. God is the reader of our hearts, and you dear have nothing to worry about. Heaven is your reward for all the good that you have done and the beauty of your worries. Not many people would ask this question or even care about what Our Lord thinks. I will pray for you at mass today that you will forever remain the way you are. God bless you.

Answer 3

Sounds like you know what you are talking about. Sin is sin. There is no good sin. So to say that stealing is better than killing is like saying some sins are okay. I am a born again Christian and I believe that the Bible, King James Bible, is literually true and scientifically accurate from cover to cover. Jesus is God manifest in the flesh. He took on sin so that we could have salvation. We are born into sin, and there is no such thing as a good person. These people who say, "Well, I don't go to church, and I don't read a Bible, and I don't believe in God, but, I think that I am basically a good person," will die in their sins. Notice what they always say, "I think I'm a good enough person." First of all you think, you don't know. And, if you have ever read Romans 3, you will see that there is no such thing as a good person. That's why all these hippys and peace activist are such idiots. They put so much faith in man, who screws everything up, saying, "We believe that all people are basically good. If we just be nice to them and give them health care, why, then they will be our friends." A person who believes in the peace movement, wouldn't tolerate very well, Roman chapter 3. But, these are the same people who will most likely die in their sins. They don't have a clue what the heck they are doing, and people like us are the ones who are going to have to pay for their sins, as we have been already. After our souls leave this world, however, we are going to get to spend eturnity in heaven with our maker. Except a man be born again, he can not see the kingdom of God. The precious, precious, blood, of, Christ. I am so glad today to know that I am saved. That I have to blood of Christ to save me from my sinful condition.

God bless. Keep your faith. I am see you in heaven.

Answer 4

Good question, but if it were true that God saw stealing and killing in the same light, then the ten commandments would have NO purpose.. Know what I mean? I mean, we all know the ten commandments, but we ALSO know that this does not mean that following THOSE commandments (only) will keep us in the clear.

Some people (Catholics) believe they must confes to a man of the "cloth" and do penance along with prayer to individual saints (which I believe is "Hoo-Eeee" ---

As a Christian, I KNOW that Jesus died for our sins and that we only need to ask his forgiveness... Does this mean we can sin daily and just "ask forgivness" at the end of the day? NO. Because it is what is in your HEART and not on your tounge that brings God to forgive you...........

Stealing a piece of candy in a store is a sin but certainly God does not have one simple veil for all sins.... Raping a child and robbing a bank would have different punishment under the law just as God would probably deal with it as well. This is why we also have what is called "Resoprocity" i.e "Do unto others as you would have done unto you.... " Reciprocity is that what you dole out in the world and do - shall be "given unto you TEN FOLD" so obviously all sins are still sins but the level of the sin is what you feel in your heart. As a Christian, you may feel the same guilt - but certainly God would not banish you to hell for telling a lie...

I hope I helped...........

Answer 5

Under the old law, if you broke any of it, you broke all of it, and you were condemned, as a result.

Under the new covenant, the strict and inflexible old law is no more, and we are no longer condemned for only minor infractions.

It's clear that under today's system, certain sins are more serious than others, and anyone who dies with unforgiven and unrepented sins will be judged by Jesus Christ.

Jesus alone, according to his justice and his mercy, will decide whether the weight of anyone's particular sins might make them unworthy of heaven.

The old saying about being "covered by the blood of Jesus" is a fine one ... but it breaks down under the weight of serious, deliberate, unconfessed, and unrepented sins.

Under the most basic requirements of God's divine system of justice, contrition for sins, plus true repentance, has always been necessary for forgiveness.

It still is. Forgiveness is never automatic.

Answer 6

God judges each sin diffrently as do people murder could be the same as stealing but it could also be worse than stealing how much thought you put into it also helps if you thought about stealing but accidentally killed someone in the process stealing is worse than murder

Answer 7

I'm a Jehovah's Witness and according to the Bible, Jehovah is a "God of Love" & "ready to forgive." Given, some sins (ie. killing) are worse than others (ie, stealing.) But yes God does hate all sin. However, He forgives us & listens to our prayers after we get to know who he is & use his name. Once he forgives us, he NEVER brings it back up against us. And Jesus, his son, died for ALL mankind. So yes we're all covered. He was the Perfect Man that balanced out Adam's sin. All of us are imperfect & need his ransom to be forgiven by God. Jehovah knows we are imperfect & is loving to not hold things against us. But we must do our best before Armageddon in order to survive into his paradise earth. THEN we will be perfect & Christ's ransom will come to its fullest use.

Answer 8

I think actually there are sins that are worse than others. The reason I believe this is because I have done some things that God really, really spoke to me about NOT to do it again. I looked at porn on the internet when I first got my laptop, I'd never had one at home and I thought, hey, I can look up whatever I want. Just curious, you know? I was astonished how easy it is to access horrifying, perverted things. My God....if I, an adult, can do this, I thought, think about what children can access just if they have a computer!? And God took me aside and spoke very plainly to me about it. He told me this is a very, very serious sin and it can lead to destruction and I needed to stop it. Period.

And I did.

Answer 9

I found an interesting resource, cited below. Here is an excerpt:

---
The Church of Rome has consistently maintained that the "sin unto death" is a grave, post-baptismal sin.[8] This sin is commonly referred to as "mortal" sin, as compared with the less significant sin which is called "venial." Although the designations are not specifically named in Scripture, it is asserted that the distinction between the two types of sin is clearly affirmed. In general, mortal sins are said to be those which exclude the offender from the kingdom (e.g., Eph 5:5; Gal 5:19-21) and venial sins are those which do not (e.g., James 3:2; 1 John 1:8; Eccl 7:21).[9] Additional proof for such distinctions is given by Dens, as quoted by M'Clintock and Strong:

"It is, moreover, certain," says Dens, "not only from the divine compassion, but from the nature of the thing, that there are venial sins, or such light ones, as in just men may consist with a state of grace and friendship with God; implying that there is a certain kind of sin of which a man may be guilty without offending God."[10]
---

Note, I didn't read the whole article, but there may be benefit to doing so.

Basically, the gravity of the sin depends on the matter, the intention, and the knowledge of the gravity of the matter. There is a distinction of mortal sin, which separates the sinner completely from God, in which state the person would go to Hell if he were to die. Venial sin does not separate the sinner completely from God, but it weakens the sinner and predisposes him to commit further sin. Venial sin unrepentant will eventually yield mortal sin.

For a sin to be mortal, the matter must be serious, AND the perpetrator must know it is serious, AND the action must have been done with full consent of the will. If any of these three are lacking, the sin is venial. There are degrees of sin depending on the severity of these aspects.

It must be noted that these are objective measures - we do not define them. Futhermore, although we can judge the externals of an act (regarding the matter - for instance we know a tree by its fruits [Matt 7:17-18]), since we cannot see what is going on inside, we cannot judge with the solemnity that which God can judge. We may not be able to tell if they were ignorant (though this might be easier for us to surmise), but we cannot with any absolute sense determine to what extent they consented to the evil act. So we can tell if someone has done something bad, and perhaps even highly likely to be mortally sinful (though out of charity one ought to refrain from passing this sort of judgment unless circumstances behoove us, such as when distributing Communion to a person who is living in a state of public sin), but we have no right to pronounce judgment as God does (that is to say, that they are on their way to Heaven or Hell). We leave the sinner to the mercy of God, pray for that person, and try to help them reconcile themselves with God and improve their lives.

Answer 10

According to the Bible . . lusting is the same as adultery, and hating is the same as murder. So. . I'm assuming Stealing/Killing are the same in God's eyes. God Hates all sin, and the Blood of Jesus is the only way we are saved.

Answer 11

In society we are taught that killing is way worse than stealing, but the Bible says once we are washed in the blood of Jesus we are cleared of our sins. I was taught that you ask for forgiveness and you are forgiven. That is what I believe.
