[Petrosius]

I have NO idea what constitutes an M sin from a V one; and apparently Rome does NOT teach it's members; either.

I have already told you twice what constitutes a Mortal Sin. But to be more complete: from the Catechism of the Catholic Church:

1857 For a sin to be mortal, three conditions must together be met: "Mortal sin is sin whose object is grave matter and which is also committed with full knowledge and deliberate consent."

1858 Grave matter is specified by the Ten Commandments, corresponding to the answer of Jesus to the rich young man: "Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and your mother." The gravity of sins is more or less great: murder is graver than theft. One must also take into account who is wronged: violence against parents is in itself graver than violence against a stranger.

1859 Mortal sin requires full knowledge and complete consent. It presupposes knowledge of the sinful character of the act, of its opposition to God's law. It also implies a consent sufficiently deliberate to be a personal choice. Feigned ignorance and hardness of heart do not diminish, but rather increase, the voluntary character of a sin.

Catholics are taught to distinguish between Mortal Sin and Venial Sin and there have been many books which discuss it. But if you do not want to study them then what can I say?

How God views sin.

23For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23 NASB

But if you do not want to study them then what can I say?

I've 'studied' the text book that Rome has prepared for it's students.

I'v e not yet found the lesson taught in 1857 - 1859.

I have; however; found THIS in the Book:

Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Rome teaches this is NOT true; for it claims that the woman who bore Christ was SINLESS; while she; herself; made sin offerings.

 

 

 

Luke 2:22-24

 

When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord  (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord”),  and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: “a pair of doves or two young pigeons.”

 

Leviticus 12:7-8

 

Then he shall offer it before the LORD and make atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the flow of her blood. This is the law for her who bears a child, whether a male or a female.
'But if she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, the one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be clean.'"

 

 

 

 

Sinless Mary??

  Not according to Rome's Book;    1 John 1:8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

 

That's the way it is WRITTEN.

 

THIS is the way it is TAUGHT:  1 John 1:8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us; the only exception being Mary, Mother of GOD, of course.

 Rome has made IT's 'Mary' into a HYPOCRIT, by painting her as SINLESS, yet writing of her going into the temple to make a SIN offering.

[Elsie]

... the only exception being Mary, Mother of GOD, of course.

Romans 5:12 Douay-Rheims Bible

Wherefore as by one man sin entered into this world, and by sin death; and so death passed upon all men, in whom all have sinned.

Except Mary...

You guys like James; right? He also wrote:

James 2:10 Douay-Rheims Bible

And whosoever shall keep the whole law, but offend in one point, is become guilty of all.
