Man vs Food, Ping!
When I fold my sons' laundry, instead of dumping it in a pile (like they would), I enjoy the thought of those burning coals.
Any old or new fashioned sin can send one to hell. Only forgiveness through Jesus Christ atonement and believe in and follow the Lord saves one.
I am going to hell, because I lie to myself about how much I am eating....
I’m missing number 7.
But what if the person never finds out? What if it’s just for convenience? Or what if it’s for a greater good?
Nope, lying is still lying, and it’s still wrong.
Lying is telling a falsehood with the intention of deceiving, and it’s always wrong because it’s an offense against the Truth, which is Christ (John 14.6).
Well, there go all the Bloggers to Hell right there.
Just damn.
We are all sinners and destined for hell. Every person one the earth.
But Christ paid the price that sin. All we have to do is acknowledge and embrace Him as our Savior and all that sin is covered for us and we are given eternal life.
He will be our defender in the courts of heaven and say that we are His.
Satan lies and tells us we are not good enough and we have committed sins that are can’t be forgiven. Or he will lie to us and tell us that we just keep committing the same sins so it is a hopeless situation. But those are lies told to destroy us.
We are free in Christ!

21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.

I Corinthians 6:9-11
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
Why does the author start with a partial quote of this verse and then pick a different list of sins?
Why does the author quote sources which are rejected as canonical by Protestant Christians?
Idolatry is a sin which will prevent many so-called Christians from entering Heaven because true Christianity requires repentance from sins such as this rather than making excuses for why it is acceptable to kneel before, pray toward, and offer incense and flowers to statues.
Rather than teaching that so-called “veneration” is a required practice for Christians, church leaders should be warning everyone that such practices will result in being denied entrance into the Heavenly kingdom and being sent to eternal fire.
Joshua 6:18
And you, by all means abstain from the accursed things, lest you become accursed when you take of the accursed things, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
Exodus 20:4-5a
You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them.
Jeremiah 44:17 & 22
[Idolaters:]
But we will certainly do whatever has gone out of our own mouth, to burn incense to the queen of heaven and pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done...
[Jeremiah:]
So the Lord could no longer bear it, because of the evil of your doings and because of the abominations which you committed. Therefore your land is a desolation, an astonishment, a curse, and without an inhabitant, as it is this day.
So...are all the sins equal? ? I mean being fat is same as being fag as same as murder???
2 through 7 are clearly damnable, but somehow I’m missing pride, self-esteem, accidie.
And number 1... in the East we do not regard lying as indefeasibly evil. St. John Chrysostom wrote in defense of spiritual fathers deceiving their charges for their benefit, giving a medical analogy of a physician who knows his charge, who is roaring for wine, would be killed by wine and helped by water, using an unglazed cup filled with water with its lip smeared with wine and telling his charge that it is filled with wine. There is also the case of one of the recent Athonite fathers who was vouchsafed prophetic gifts, and knowing by this gift that a brother was burdened with a serious and unconfessed sin, went to the brother and falsely confessed having falling into the self-same sin. The brother was moved to compunction, confessed and his soul was healed.
Left off was to covet-the desiring of having things that others have. Isn’t that what 40% of the nation wants today?
I had a bible scholar once tell me that the commandment for lying is sort of mistranslated, and the translation is actually closer to what we think of as a combination of "perjury" and "fraud", basically lying is a sin only when another will be harmed by the lie or the liar will gain something through the lie they wouldn't have been entitled to otherwise. It was never meant that you were breaking a commandment and God was going to send you to hell because you told your wife she didn't look fat in that dress when she really did.

ANY sin will send you to hell and all it takes is one.
“Alcohol is a wonderful gift from God. Jesus turned water into wine, and Christian monks used to make the best beer in the world”.
A lot of evangelicals will say that the “wine” contained no alcohol. They seem to forget that Noah got drunk as a skunk and there’s other references in the Bible to people getting drunk.
