Bible Question: Are ther such things as big sins and little sins? |
Bible Answer: In human eyes, yes, there are clearly gradations of sin. We have "white lies" and "whoppers" for example. To steal an apple is not viewed as being as bad as stealing an automobile, and the punitive actions are not equal. Our legal system metes out varying degrees of punishment for infractions of civil and criminal law. But the Bible teaches that sin is sin, and the wages of it is death. Sin is disobedience to God's commands and brings condemnation no matter what "size" the sin or what form it takes. --Hank |
