Did I say that?
No.
I said the term "7 Deadly Sins" is not in the Bible.
New International Version (NIV)
16 There are six things the LORD hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
17 haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19 a false witness who pours out lies
and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
The love of money is the root of all evil. The caput of all evil is the love of money. The capital sin is love of money.
Just one example of how the Bible analyzes sin. The 7 capital sins are a way of analyzing sin. The Bible analyzes sin.
You’ll find lists of capital sins all over, in Proverbs, in the Penteteuch, in James, in Paul, in John. Lust of the eyes, . . . pride of life . . . Sounds like a list of capital sins.
Read your Bible again.
Actually, no, you didn’t.
You said, “They were compiled by Pope Gregory I around the year 600, and you’re correct - there is no such term in the Bible. It is purely a Catholic term.”
In all seriousness, and without malice, I realize I was likely being too literal, but that is my tendency, to be literal. Your statement, in direct response to the phrase you quoted, implies that, in the most literal sense, either “sin” or “lust” is not in the Bible. But, again, that’s literalistic thinking for you. Perhaps you meant as you’ve now stated. Fine by me. I was merely pointing out, in what was intended to be a somewhat genteel fashion, the relative lack of clarity.
