Does the Bible say that all sins are equal?

Question

If so, where?

Answer 1

If you break one law, you have broken same as all the laws.

To me some sins are worst that others. And Jesus warned of hell fire to certain sins. Like offending the children who believed in Jesus. Like calling brothers/ sisters in Christ, a fool. Like blaspheming the Holy Spirit (calling the works/ miracles of the Holy Spirit evil). Plotting to kill Jesus, calling those scheming murder that their father was satan. And how can they be delivered from the damnation of hell?

Answer 2

Actually the Bible doesn't say that all sins are equal it says all sins can be forgiven except one

Does this mean that since all sins can be equally forgiven except that one, which is then considered worse than the others, that this one sin is not equal to the others? It seems so.

Matthew 12:31
And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

**note that blasphemy against Spirit has also been interpreted as against God by some.

Luke 24:47
It was also written that this message would be proclaimed in the authority of his name to all the nations, [ Or all peoples.] beginning in Jerusalem: ‘There is forgiveness of sins for all who repent.’

Answer 3

The Bible does not say "all sins are equal" in those words. However, it does make clear from the context that all sins separate us from God and are counter to His intentions for our lives.

Answer 4

All are innocent of the sin of imperfections that they are born into that causes a life short and full of troubles and death is a sure thing.

Because we are born in the imperfections of sin, it is easy to do that which is most incorrect [ Gen.8:21; the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth ]; and not easy to do that which is correct.

Jesus died for the sin of imperfections that we are born into, and we are to struggle against all other sins possible, and ask forgiveness for slip up sins we are sure to encounter. Matt.22:37-40; Rom.13:9,10; Love is the hope against all. Rom.5:8-11;

Answer 5

Hi there,

All sins are equal this question of the answer is not also with GOD, If you read Bhagwad Geeta, you got the answer of this, Every work depend of KARMA, Karma is what " what we do in daily routine and in full day we must doing something good and also bad and finally our balance sins or virtue carried farward and finally making our balance sheet at last when our breath stop god take our-self and again we born in future. SO every sins are never equal it's not countable, this is our feelings or emotions. sometime we know it is bed work but we do it , after-all why we know if i do bed but he/she to get best result.

Answer 6

I, personally, don't think all sins are equal. If it were then it means that my telling a white lie to a child is the same as Hitler killing 6 million Jews.
