We ALL commit *mortal* sins.

Because God considers the thought to be equivalent to doing the sin, just like Jesus taught that lust = adultery, and John said that hatred = murder.

I don't believe for a minute that any human being is capable of having that kind of self-control over their thought life that they NEVER sin in that area.
