Where in religion did the seven deadly sins originate?

Question

I'm not sure if they are actually religious but they are normally associated with it.

Answer 1

The "cardinal sins" were a tool invented by the Church a long time back to inculcate religion and morality in people. It was, after the Bible, amongst the first drafts of a "moral law" if you will.

Answer 2

Catholicism originated in about 35 ad in Jerusalem upon the death and Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. However, in reality Catholicism is the core religion and has existed since the beginning. Presbyterianism is a form of protestantism that came around in about 1707 ad in Scotland.

Answer 3

the book of proverbs lists seven sins but they are not the same.

16. There are six things that the Lord hates, and the seventh is an abomination of His soul - haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood; a heart that thinks thoughts of violence; feet that hasten to run to evil; [one who] speaks lies with false testimony and incites quarrels among brothers.

Answer 4

seven deadly sins?

I had many sins small and big in my life. But Jesus cleansed my sins and He gave me love, peace and joy which the world cannot give. Whoever seeks love or peace or joy should seek God, because if they seek they will find, and since every good gift comes from God, seek Him.

Mark 7:21-23 (King James Version
Jesus teaching said:


21For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

22Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

23All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

Answer 6

Catholicism maybe? That's where I heard about them from. Along with the circles of hell with the *many* punishments for virtually everything their religion is against.

LEVITICUS 18:6-24
6 None of you shall approach to any that is near kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.
7 The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
8 The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.
9 The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
10 The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness.
11 The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
12 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman.
13 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for she is thy mother's near kinswoman.
14 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach his wife: she is thine aunt.
15 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness.
17 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness, for they are near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
18 Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.
19 Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
20 Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.
21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defile which I cast out before you.
