for example..if someone stole a pack of gum from a mini store and if someone commited adultery. will God count the stealing gum as a little mini offense and just blow it off if we say sorry, or will He be as angry as if someone commited adultery. basically im asking if one sin is worse than another in God's eyes or if there all equally bad. and im not asking for any political views about the law of the USA and stuff. im talking about GOD.

Do you get a venereal disease from chewing stolen gum?

well stealing the gum makes you a thief, and adultery makes you an adulterer..
The consequences here on earth are more severe for one than the other.
Stealing the gum is an offense against another man.
Adultery is an offense against yourself.
Idolatry is a offense against God directly.
But all sin will not make it into heaven. small or large. We need to be sinless and the only way for that is by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross..

There are two things to consider when answering your question. The first is that the Bible says that anyone who has broken even one of God's laws is guilty of breaking the whole law and that if your sin debt is not paid for by faith in the sacrifice that Jesus made then no matter what that one sin is you will stand condemned before God.
The second thing to consider is that in regards to temporal penalties for sins God made different punishments indicating that He considered some sins to be more grievous than others. Here's an example for you to consider.
Exodus 22:16 "If a man seduces a virgin who is not engaged to be married and lies with her, he shall give the bride-price for her and make her his wife. 17 If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money equal to the bride-price for virgins.
18 "You shall not permit a sorceress to live. 19 "Whoever lies with an animal shall be put to death.
Obviously God doesn't consider premarital sex to be as bad as sex with an animal or practicing sorcery.

In the 10 commandments, stealing and adultery are equal.

I'm not a religious expert, but I'm pretty sure that all sin is supposed to be equal in the eyes of God.

a sin is a sin no matter which way u look at it. if u kno somthing is wrong and u do it anyways whether that be stealing a candybar or commiting adultery, it is still ungodly.

Sin is the separation from God so they are all equal in His eyes.

Yes, some sins are more severe than others.
That is why there are sins classified as deadly sins, they are some of the worse you can commit.
I think apathy is said to be the worst sin of all.

your answer is obvious .
Do you thing a thief who steals a pack of gum even in his entire life is at the same level of Hitler or Bin ladan !?
Every Sin has its own kind of Penalty
(Maybe they would both burn in hell but with Diffirent Degrees !!?)
