Mortal sin merely points out that there are serious and not so serious sins....cussing out your golf shot is not that serious an offense....committing adultery....remarriage after divorce for example, is a much more serious offense.
Confession was establishes as a Sacrament when Christ said "whose sins that you shall forgive, they are forgiven"...
Sin is sin Any deviation from Gods perfect will and law is enough to bring eternal death no matter how small. I don’t call the slightest sin that can do that any less serious than murder or blasphemy The penalty is the same Eternal death and separation from God and an eternity in hell
Very true. There are continuous sins that are more grievous.
See 1 Cor 5
Some sin may have more serious consequences to others in this life, but to God all sin is disobedience and has the same penalty, that is death.
It's the same God whose Law is broken so whether it's what we perceive as a little or big sin by human standards, doesn't matter.
Adam and Eve only ate a piece of fruit and it was enough to condemn them and the human race for ever.
It's enough that the sin is disobedience to God, not what the disobedience is.
According to your religion perhaps but not according to God...
Jas 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
That's some pretty simple stuff right there...
1Jn 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him
Oh Oh.....There goes your mortal sin...Hating your brother then is a mortal sin...They may be different to you but to God they are all the same...
....”cussing out your golf shot is not that serious an offense....committing adultery....remarriage after divorce for example, is a much more serious offense”.....
Who determines which sins are worse and less? ..and what they are? Is there a specific list to go by?
Let’s say it’s the sin of Pride.....how far must one go in being Proud for it to be called one or the other degree of sin?
