Well yes.
At least I would believe that is how God would look at it. Nothing in the Word indicates your chances of salvation are graded on which sins you partake in, or how often, etc. We as human beings may look at then differently but in the end it does not matter how we look at them but only how God looks at them.
If rending unborn babies limb-from-limb because they're inconvenient is not wrong, then nothing is wrong.
But each of us is called to tackle different problems. Some are working in Prison Fellowship programs; some are working in Hands of Hope clinics; others are working in Gospel Rescue Missions, etc.
'Nuff said.
As bad as it was to incarcerate American citizens simply becuase of their race during WW 2, it would be an egregious error to say that it was morally the same as the Holocaust. No not all sins are equal, not even close.
No, all sin is not equal. So sayeth the Apostle John.
1 John 5:16-17 NIV
If you see any brother or sister commit a sin that does not lead to death, you should pray and God will give them life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that you should pray about that. All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death.
“Furthermore, when individuals sinned there were different sacrifices prescribed for each situation and different punishments required for certain sins. For example, a thief paid restitution but those who committed adultery or premeditated murder were put to death (Exodus 22, Leviticus 1-6, 16-17, 20). Thus, God provided a system of jurisprudence that reflected His will in taking all sin seriously but also showed that some were worse than others.”
No. A thief can provide restitution and make the victim whole again. Those who committed adultery or premeditated murder can not make the victim whole. We are under Grace in NT times, not law. We all DESERVE death for our sins.
Continue to push boundaries and you'll only get farther from Christ.
Is murder equivalent to, say, gluttony? There is your answer.
equal. depends on what aspect of the sin you’re talking about.
equal in that all separate us from God? yes.
equal in that any sin, to us big or small, condemns us to be separated from God for eternity becaue God will not stand the presence of sin around Him? yes.
equal in the sense that no matter how small, no person can personally save themselves and get themselves right with God, they must ask for God to forgice them? yes.
equal in the sense of eternal conequences, see above. yes
equal in the sense of temporal consequences? no.
If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. 17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
Not all sins are "sins unto death" - i.e. mortal sins. Some are lesser. These sins "not unto death" are called venial sins.
