Bible Question: Is all sin equal? Where in the Bible does it say that no sin is greater than another, and is this stated in the context of Jesus' willingness to forgive us our sins, or in the context of the gravity of particular sins? We know that some commandments are greater than others, so shouldn't the violation be similarly of greater import? |
Bible Answer: Yes, Henri, in answer to your question, and Welcom to the Forum! There are numerous examples of some sins being greater than others, but I'll give just one. John 19:11 Jesus answered, "You would have no authority over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason he who delivered Me to you has the greater sin."
