Subject: adultery vs stealing which is sin worst |
Bible Note: Hello, Janice C, and I would agree with you on this: that sin is sin. That's the clear message of Scripture. And I would add that there is a sense in which sins are related to one another. Adultery, for example. Not only is it a grievous sin of itself, but it reaches out its tentacles to embrace stealing, for isn't it true that the adulterer is stealing from the sanctity of his or her marriage? And doesn't adultery frequently involve lying also, when the adulterer feels forced to lie about the sin that he has committed? And doesn't murder sometimes come in the wake of an adulterous relationship? My dad, long since gone to his reward, used to drill into my head, "Son, remember this: one sin usually leads to another." There are no good sins, only bad ones, and the Bible summarily condemns them all. --Hank |
