This would work really well for the Confirmation teachers.

[Ahithophel]

But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars--they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." Revelation 21:8 (NIV)

The sin not catalogued above, but at the top of the Apostle John's list: cowardice

[afraidfortherepublic]

What about a customer who refuses to pay for goods delivered?

[Salvation]

Check out the Sins against faith again. I think cowardice would fit in there.

[Salvation]

Isn’t that covered in the Sins of injustice and theft?

[GeronL]

he left out “being a protestant” apparently, so I guess it will have to be updated.

[southernmann]

Who gets to determine what is excessive, or improper or just or unjust?

[defconw]

Adults, have a or at least they should have a well developed conscience to inform them. Or baring that,like I told the kids, if your stomach hurts or you feel “funny”, then it's wrong.

[defconw]

Good Lord, they will even argue with us over sin! Saints be Praised! I am grateful to be a Catholic!

[Salvation]

Do you have a well-informed conscience?

Are you aware of the gravity of any such situation?

Do you go ahead and do it anyway?

Then it is a grave sin.

[southernmann]

What about those that do not believe the gravity of a situation is much, but others think differently? Who is correct?

[southernmann]

So if something feels ok, then it is?

[Salvation]

Some have better formed and informed consciences than others.

If they know it’s a sin, then they are taking their eternal life in their own hands rather than turned to God for repentance and forgiveness.

[Salvation]

rather than turning to God for repentance and forgiveness.

[NorthMountain]

Those who recognize the authority of the Scriptures will always have reference to them in these matters. Note that the author cites the Scriptures for many of his references.

Those who recognize the authority of logic and natural law will have reference to these.

Those who, believing themselves to be gods, make up their own rules will simply do whatever they will. Satanists, for example, fall into this last category.

[Ahithophel]

Check out the Sins against faith again. I think cowardice would fit in there.

Agree it would arguably fit in a broad category as would many of the sins identified, but the catalogue should be at least as specific as Scripture and include the chart toppers. Actually, cannot recall ever hearing a sermon or homily on the sin of cowardice, specifically. But it's at the top of, and specifically called out in, St. John's list. Peace, A

OMG! Purposely obtuse, looking for an argument? When I was teaching on sin! The kids would have already have gotten a full body of information on the difference between moral and immoral! That upset in your stomach is GUILT! If you feel that, it means YOU SHOULD NOT DO IT! Is that plain enough for you?
