“How do they get this category ? What is their source ???”

The Bible. Each of the Bible verses in the note includes a statement that the cry went up to the Lord.

The 4 Sins that Cry Out to Heaven
Willful murder
The sin of Sodom
Oppression of the poor
Defrauding laborers of their wages

Note:
Genesis 4, Genesis 18, Exodus 2, James 5, respectively.

Genesis 4 - The LORD then said: “What have you done! Listen: your brother’s blood cries out to me from the soil!

Genesis 18 - Then the LORD said: “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great, and their sin so grave,
that I must go down and see whether or not their actions fully correspond to the cry against them that comes to me. I mean to find out.”

Exodus 2 - Still the Israelites groaned and cried out because of their slavery. As their cry for release went up to God, he heard their groaning and was mindful of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

James 5 - Behold, the wages you withheld from the workers who harvested your fields are crying aloud, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.

Got ya ...interesting to lump them like that ...

All sin is an offense to God... We have to be cautious not to look at ourselves and say “we are not THAT bad”

God said liars will not get into heaven... yea we are all THAT bad :(
