In post 9, '.45 Long Colt' said: "Every sin is mortal, FRiend."
Then in post 33, 'Campion' replied to '.45 Long Colt': "1 John 5:16-17 explicitly says that you're wrong."
In post 42, 'Former Fetus' said: "Scripture does not distinguish between mortal and venial sins, that is a man-made distinction."
Then in post 114, 'Brian Kopp DPM' replied to 'Former Fetus': "Your scripture must not include the first letter of John."

If any one sees his brother committing what is not a mortal sin, he will ask, and God will give him life for those whose sin is not mortal. There is sin which is mortal; I do not say that one is to pray for that. All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin which is not mortal. 1 John 5:16-17 - Revised Standard Version (RSV)- - - - - - - - - - - - -
Then in post 202, I replied to both 'Campion' and 'Brian Kopp DPM': "I see that no one has even come close yet to making a sane and cogent reply to your incisive references to 1 John 5:16-17."
Then in post 233, you replied to me: "Then you are not looking hard", and pointed me to your post #196 which is addressed to a completely different post and poster, and which tries to wrongly and inaccurately re-interpret what was said, and to fuzzily refocus and rephrase it to make it essentially meaningless.

'daniel1212', let's try this again. Two posters made the erroneous claim that there is only mortal sin, and that there is no such thing as non-mortal sin. The Bible in that reference given by the other two posters here (1 John 5:16-17) says the exact opposite, i.e., that there most certainly is such a thing as non-mortal sin. Either the Bible is true and right and there is such a thing as non-mortal sin, and those two posters (and you) who glibly claim there isn't any such thing as non-mortal sin are completely wrong, or they (and you) are right, and the Bible is wrong there in 1 John 5:16-17.
'daniel1212', let me clear it up for you right now, and forever hopefully. What the Bible says in 1 John 5:16-17 is 100% true and right, whether you like it or not. No matter what kind or amount of prevarications, or bloviated obfuscations, or interminably and exhaustingly wearying posts with endless lists of totally unrelated Bible references and obviously erroneous interpretations given, or any other kinds of nonsensically rambling rantings anyone posting here might choose to post (which have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the subject being discussed in those specific posts being directly addresssed here), they cannot change that simple fact: that what the Bible clearly and plainly says in 1 John 5:16-17 is 100% true and right, and that anyone who claims it is not is 100% false and wrong.
There most certainly is such a thing as a non-mortal sin, just like the Bible plainly and unequivocally says in 1 John 5:16-17.
I hope that clears it all up for you once and for good. (I have to go back to work now.)
