Subject: What are Mortal and Venial sinis

Bible Note: Itiswritten,

I was raised catholic too and still am.

Please read the whole thread.

Am I to take it then you do not believe the scripture (1 John 5;16-17 ) which make it absolutely clear that there is a sin "unto death" and sins that are "not unto death"? Is that scripture a Catholic invention too? I know it is the scriptural basis of the Catholic doctrine of mortal "unto death" sin and venial "not unto death" sins. It never ceases to amaze me when some people complain there is no scriptural basis for certain Catholic doctrines, then absolutely refuse to acknowledge they were wrong when the scriptural basis is pointed out. It is possible to says they disagree on the interpretation of the scripture, but to deny there is a scriptural basis at all is then just obstinancy. In Protetsant circles all kinds of different opinions based on different interpretation are acknowledged and accepted with charity, unless the different interpreation is a Catholic one, even if other another Protetsant communion may also hold the same position,e.g. infant baptism, baptismal regeneration, Real Presence in the Eucharist, priesthood. Tolerable if Lutheran, Episcopal, Methodist, etc., intolerable, for some, thankfully not all, if Catholic.
