“Every LCMS pastor I know would say and agree with this statement immediately.”

Every sin consigns you to hell? EVERY sin? Even minor sins? That seems a tad extreme to me. (RC here, if that explains it!)

Without Christ, we are nothing but sin to God.

Paraphrasing a guy named Paul.

If we have Christ, it will change our behavior, paraphrasing a guy named James.

It does seem extreme, doesn't it. Thank God for his grace, or we'd all be consigned to Hell.

"Minor sin" is as oxymoronic as being "a little bit pregnant".

Sin is sin, there is no “minor sin”.
