Bible Question: Is there a verse that states all sin is equal? I hear many people who get involved or upset over on group of people, or over one sin. I believe that in the Bible there is a verse that states all sin is equal or the same. Please help me find this. |
Bible Answer: That is a common teaching. It is true that all sin leads to death Rom 2:12-13. There seems to be differences in sins. In 1 John 5:16-7, it says there is s sin leading to death and sins not leading to death. The problem is when a sin becomes popular in thinking. Refer back to the prohibition. I expect that they thought it was the worst sin. Thew sin that I find preached against the most in the Bible is oppression of the poor. This includes oppression by sharp but currently legal business practices. We could feel so righteous by our preaching against homosexuality or abortion and find ourselves condemned by God. I am speaking of us as American religious, and and not a saved person. As a saved person, I know there is no condemnation. Greentwiga |
