Subject: What are Mortal and Venial sinis |
Bible Note: Dear Emmaus, For what it's worth, the idea of "mortal" and "venial" sins is a doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church. It has no biblical basis as far as I know. Having been raised a Roman Catholic (I now attend Assembly of God churches)I was taught that concept at an early age. Mortal sins were acts such as Not attending Mass on any given Sunday, Murder, Adultery, etc., and venial sins might be something like telling a "white lie" so as not to hurt someone's feelings, or making a snide remark about someone. As was said before, in reality, all sin is sin and God makes no distinction. But I thought this might answer your question. Itiswritten. |
