I wonder if dividing sin into category's defeats the purpose of the concept and is itself a sin?..
Since you MUST be perfect as you're father in heaven is perfect.. as it is written..
Perfection allows ZERO sin..

You know, prevarication of the ministry of Christ..

I agree. Paul tells us "whatsoever is not of faith is sin" (Romans 14:23).

That's pretty comprehensive.

The reason for the distinction is justice. It would be unfair to attach the same gravity to sins committed unadvertently.
