Yes I believe God sees these as equal. A sin is sin in God's eyes.

Do you honestly believe this to be true?

It seems absolutley inconcievable to me, that a just God would attribute equal weight to the sin of "telling a woman that dress doesn't make her look fat", and the sin of "orchestration of murderous genocide".

That just seems crazy to me.

Yes I believe it. It is not crazy to me. Hard to understand yes. But imagine you created creatures to love, and to love you. If you knew of everything wrong they did wrong it would hurt you. God is not desensitized to sin it all hurts the same.

OWK, a miracle has occurred. I actually agree with you.

I have never understood that sort of "logic" before that God does not weigh the severity of one's actions; that a mild sin is equal to a heinous sin.

While I am a Christian, I have to say that sometimes logic completely eludes many a fundamentalist.

The standard is perfection.

One is either perfect or imperfect.

It's as simple as that.
