Bible Question: Are ther such things as big sins and little sins? |
Bible Answer: The answer is both no and yes. On one hand, Scipture clearly indicates that the slightest transgression of the law imputes enough guilt for damnation. Practically though, this shouldn't make much difference, since all of us sin so much that making distinctions on this basis is a bit futile. On the other hand, it does seem that God views some sins as more serious than others. Examine the civil code in the Old Testament. Some sins require death, others do not. And the level of punishment short of death varies, apparently with the severity of the harm caused. I guess the way to harmonize these answers is that from God's perspective, one sin is just as serious as another. But from a human, especially a human judical perspective, some sins are more serious than others. |
