Sexy times?

Question

Which is the greater "sin"? :

A Christian teenager who has premarital sex?
A Christian man having an affair?
A Christian women who is divorced and remarried
Etc, etc...

Or

A non-religious homosexual person just being him/herself?

"Let he who hath not sinned, cast the first stone."
Isn't that what your own Jesus of Nazareth teaches/taught?

Whoops!
I forgot to mention that this question of mine is directed to those whom call themselves "Christians".
Sorry! :)

Um, what is "Borat"?

Answer 1

Adultery is a sin. Fornication is a sin. Two sins are worse than one. Just math.
You know, I don't judge. We do what we do. Sometimes we act as if we've lost our minds. But, we learn and we can always do better. Be good. C. :)!!

Answer 2

Yup, my Jesus of Nazareth said that.

Sin is defined in Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary (11th ed) as " and offense against religious or moral law" and/or "the "transgression of the law of God." If you reject the religious/moral law of God, then what I might say to you about "sin" really is irrelavant and I am not sure why you seem so angry upset.

Regarding your quote, in context Jesus was responding to a verbal trap that the Pharisees (who hated Jesus) were setting. When they all left because they were shamed, Jesus turned to the woman who had been caught committing adultery and told her, "Go now and leave your life of sin." Jesus didn't say what she did was right.

The Pharisees were about laws and rules and harsh punishment. Jesus is about grace and forgiveness. But there again, you cannot appreciate the grace or the forgiveness unless you to accept his rules.

There is no "greater sin", just sin. And a little one cuts you off from God just like the big one. I do believe what Jesus has to say, what the Bible says, even when it is pretty uncomfortable. But I feel compassion for those who would fall into your list of sinners. Been there, done that.

So my question to you is, what exactly are you asking here?
Do you want to know more about what Jesus said, or are you just angry about something? I don't want a big argument, but I am willing to talk respectfully about your views if you will respect mine.

Answer 3

Well, I don't own a Jesus of Nazareth myself...hehe Neither am I a christian, either, although I don't see a lot of wrong with it as long as they don't harm anyone else.

As far as your questions go, the christians will easily answer that being homosexual isn't 'normal' and that it's a sin, quoting the examples of Sodom and Gomorrah, and some scripts from their bible.

I wouldn't worry too much about what they think, anyway.

Answer 4

Jesus does teach that. However, He views all sin equally. A non-religious homosexual person is just as band as a christian teen who has premaritial sex or a christian man having and affair or a christian women who is divorced andremarries. On judgement day God will view all of it the same.

Answer 5

The bible says none is righteous, no not one, in another verse, for all have sinned and have come short of the glory of the Lord, The bible says we are all sinners, when we accept Christ as our Lord and Saviour all our sins are washed away, If we are a Christian and commit one of your sins we must first ask Jesus to forgive us of our sins, if we are saved, then the blood of Christ cleanses us from all unrighteousness, then Jesus says to go and sin no more, if you are not saved and do those same sins you are guilty until death unless you get saved. If you die unsaved and an unbeliever in Jesus Christ the Bibles says that the wages of sin is death, death is seperation from Jesus with the devil in Hell. Thats your difference, its in the Bible, read the book of John, now if you would like to wash away all yours sins right now and start afresh and new you can, just say this sinners prayer confessing and believing in Jesus, just say, Dear Jesus, I know and confess that I am sinner in need of salvation. I believe you died on a cross at calvery and arose from the grave to wash away my sins, I ask you right now to come into my heart and save me, I pray this Prayer believing in the name of Jesus Amen. If you prayed this prayer with a sincere heart you are now a child of God, rejoice that your name is written in the Lambs book of Life. If you have any questions just send me an email, God Bless YOU!!

Answer 6

The Bible is clear on this point; there are no degrees of sin.

All of the things you've mentioned are sin, and any one of them is sufficient to cause you to be barred from Heaven.

But then so is tellin a 'white lie' or getting angry, or even thinking a harsh thought.

THAT is why we all need Jesus!

May God bless you and your search for Truth.

Answer 8

People are naturally selfish and sinful. They are all sins, it is up to us to be strong and refrain from those types of behaviors. Jesus is the only one who was ever pure and free of sin, he loves us so much he died for our sins. No one can make you have faith, however if you accept Jesus you will have a pure heart.

Answer 9

the first 3 sins are all equal in seriousness, they are mortal sins. a non religious homosexual , a non practiceing homo? He just needs to find Jesus.
