Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.
But you are right, he knows we are only human and love us all the same.

The Apostle James articulates this fact in his letter (James 2:10), “For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.” Notice his use of the word “stumbles.” It means to make a mistake or fall into error. James is painting a picture of a person who is trying to do the right thing and yet, perhaps unintentionally, commits a sin. What is the consequence? God, through His servant James, states when a person commits even unintentional sin he is guilty of breaking the entire law. A good illustration of this fact is to picture a large window and understand that window to be God’s law. It doesn’t matter if a person throws a very small pebble through the window or several large boulders. The result is the same…the window is broken. In the same way, it doesn’t matter if a person commits one small sin or several huge ones. The result is the same…the person is guilty of breaking God’s law. And the Lord declares that He will not leave the guilty unpunished (Nahum 1:3).

Astrology says why we do things.
God has declared what is right and wrong about what we do.
God has established what he calls sin. So we know what he expects. So we can appreciate the contrast of goodness & purity. We all commit the same sins. Astrology tells why we do the things. The same sin for me, may not be a sin for you, when you look beneath the surface of the act. There are many kinds of personalities that have different perceptionsbecause of this we may make inaccurate judgements. This is why God says not to judge. It's why we have court systems to uncover the purpose behind what we perceive as a crime.
If we don't live under the umbrella of Gods expectations we all would live without order and decency.
Broad is the path narrow is the way. Everyone is different but all are accountable for their actions.

Sin in any form, is rebellion towards God, therefore all sin is detestable in Gods sight. If a person continues to steal and if another person continues to murder, both will perish in hell for all eternity. Only by Grace, through the blood of Christ Jesus can we be cleansed from the stain and stench of sin.
Praise The Holy Lamb Of God !!!!

What you mean? are there little sins and big sins? God does not think like us, for us the answer is yes, but according to his word, sin is sin is sin.

Certain Pharisees were once told by Jesus Christ:
“Every sort of sin and blasphemy [abusive speech; slander; impious word] will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the spirit will not be forgiven. For example, whoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the holy spirit, it will not be forgiven him.”
(Matt. 12:31, 32; An American Translation; The New English Bible; Weymouth)

All except one sin
The Unforgivable Sin which is commited against the Holy Spirit. It is rejecting the Holy Spirit.
God Bless and Happy Easter!

Yes, there is only one unforgivable sin-
I tell you the truth, all the sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them. But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven: he is guilty of an eternal sin.
The Holy Spirit was the source of the power that Christ possessed. By denying this power, you are guilty of a sin for which there is no forgiveness.

Acording to the bible blaspheming the holy spirit is, for example, an irreperable sin for which there is no forgiveness, so no, acording to the bible they aren't... (Mark 3:29/Luke 12:10)
Here's another:
Matthew 11:22-24:
22But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. 23And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to the skies? No, you will go down to the depths.[a] If the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. 24But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you."

I don't think so. I mean, I'm not gonna go readthe whole Bible to check, but I can't recall anything that says so off the top of my head. Anyways, why would God give the same punishment to a murderer and to a child whp disobeyed their parent? God is a just god, which tells me he knows the difference. Anyways, my religion believes that there are levels of heaven. If there are levels of heaven, then each sin is different. Just repent and don't murder anyone, and I think you'll be fine. ;)

No. Christ says that only one is unforgivable. A sin against The Holy Spirit is unforgivable. I take that to mean leading someone away from God.
