The chorus in the mouth of people of today is "judge not". They often make the statement when someone tries to correct them or rebuke them for committing sin. Even those who do not believe in Jesus are always quick to remind Christians that Jesus said we shouldn't judge.

Jesus didn't say we shouldn't judge. He said we can judge but gave terms on which we shouldn't judge.

These same people also love to be left alone in their sin because they believe the person rebuking them for it is also a sinner or has his own sins, even though they are quite different from or not as worse as the one being rebuked. According to these people, all sins are equal and the same, so if you are to judge them, better not have any sin at all.

Look brethren, all sins are not equal. Some sins are terrible that they cry up to God. Even Jesus confirms that there are greater sins when he was speaking to Pilate.

John 19:12 KJV
therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.

If all sins are equal, how come Jesus is seen talking about a greater sin? If there's a greater sin, then there's a lesser sin.

Imagine how horrible this world has become whereby a cross-dressing person will bark at you for criticizing him and try to silence you by reminding you of your own sins which might not be the same or as huge as his. Same thing with homosexuals who love to silence their heterosexual critics by reminding them that they fornicate. Are both sins the same? No. One is worse and utterly disgusting, such that when Sodom and Gomorrah engaged in the act, the news reached God in Heaven that he had to come down and see for himself. The sin of homosexuality is so worse that when God sent two angels to Sodom and Gomorrah, the men there tried to rape them. That's why homosexuals are called Sodomites today, which is the appropriate term for them instead of the word gay which means happy.

Now, can I judge another person who commits sin? Yes you can, so long you aren't committing same sin. When Jesus spoke of judging, he gave conditions on which we are not to judge, not that he said we should never judge.

Matthew 7:1-5 King James Version (KJV)
1 [b]Judge not]/b], that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

The first two words which are in bold is where majority stop reading. It is almost like the most memorized verse which they throw at critics of their evil and wicked lifestyle. But was that all what Jesus said? No.

If you read further, you will see that Jesus only stated that we shouldn't judge if we are guilty of what we are passing judgement on. Example is when you are a social drinker but you condemn drunkenness. Look dude, you are both drinkers of alcohol. Or when you have a bad eating habit but you criticize a smoker, you both have a bad habit that you need to quit. That's why Jesus said if you have a plank in your eyes and you are worried about the sawdust in another man's eyes, then you are a hypocrite. You have a serious issue in your life that needs to be dealt with, but you would rather it be left alone whiel you exhaust your energy on a man whose own issue is minor. What makes you think the man's own problem is worse than yours? Deal with your own issue first before you consider his own.

Look at verse 5, it doesn't say after we've removed what's inside our eyes, we should leave the one in our brother's eye alone. It says that's when we can see clearly to remove what's in our brother's eye i.e that's when we can judge.

When you are not guilty of a particular type of sin, you can boldly speak against it. Simply because I smoke doesn't mean I can't speak against a man who dresses like a woman or a woman who dresses like a man, such people whom God says are an abomination to him. Remember that Jesus said if we judge, same standard or measure will be use against us. Now, since I don't cross dress, I am willing to be judged by that standard because I will come out clean. But as a cigarette smoker, I dare not criticize marijuana smokers. Look dude, it's grass we both smoke, just different species. If I dare open my mouth to pass judgement on marijuana smokers, then whatever judgement I passed will be used against me as a cigarette smoker, since we are all smokers.

The bottom line is that never allow anyone talk you down from condemning evil by reminding you of your own sins which aren't the same as the evil you are currently rebuking.
What such evil people want is a lawless land where everyone is left alone to do whatever they like. This is not Sodom and Gomorrah we are in.

Thank you.

I am a fornicator, but I can judge a murderer, because, well, he/she is a higher ranked sinner than I am. Hmmm... ALL unrighteousness is still SIN. The world hates being convicted of sin. Christians (myself included) these days hate being convicted of sin, even if the conviction is coming from the Holy Spirit Himself!

I don't have to read the post but I agree That not all sins are equal.

he who wants equity must come with clean hands.

I have always told people that say sin is sin that not all sin are the same.

Jesus said how greater the punishment for those that lead others into sin.

Nice one Op

Happy Sunday.

A sin is something that offends God, something God hates.

We should be careful we do not analyse to the point of simplifying sin.

All sins lead to hell.

What part of hell do you prefer to go?

Real Christians do not indulge in any sin:small or great.

www.thetruechristianfaith.com/what-does-it-mean-to-be-born-again/

All sins are equal before God Almighty(asides telling lies against the Holy Spirit), it is we humans who tend to place sins into hierarchy.

Homosexuality is worse than pornography

Stealing is better than Murder

You get the gist...

Mtcheww....
Lord knows I avoid religious threads
I really do.
Point of correction
SMOKING is not a sin
DRINKING is not a sin.

Romans 14: 13-23
Read and understand.

Mr sin big pass another where you put "for ALL have sinned and come short......"

Op just so you know if Jesus comes now you're going to hell. Because you have twisted the word.

Y'all should preach salvation. Jesus is the son of God. Thats all and leave all the rest for God. Because una no know anything.

Some will be flogged with less strokes, others with plenty strokes of the cane....the eventual place of all that commit small or great sin as u say is still HELLFIRE

I believe there is Smtn called great sin.

Some sins may be classified under venial while others as Mortal sin. For the Catholic faithfuls, they should know this.

No one should deceive him or herself, all sins are equal before God Almighty.

Sin is sin.
Lieing is a sin as equal to murdering.
No any other names but sin.

All sin are equal but there is one DAT is not for death and another meant for death don't be deceived all sins are equal.

Okay.

Dont mind the charlatan OP.
He is an attention seeker and just wants to trend
Sin is from the devil.
God will never tamper his judgement because he thinks one is greater
The wages of sin is death. All sin.There is no categorical base.
If the wages (end-point) of all sin is death, how then can we say one sin is less than the other?
And some follow-follow are agreeing with the heresy above.

I wonder where some folks left their brains.

Even after seeing Jesus categorize sin in the OP, you still typed this?

It isn't even logical to say all sins are equal.

As stated by the OP, Jesus himself mentioned "greater sin." He also says the person who leads another into sin has committed a greater sin.

Humans always like to look for leeways...to seek justification for bad behaviour.

Someone lying that they got to work late because they got stuck in traffic...and another committing blooded murder are the same? Does that make any sense to you?

Silliness at its peak.

The end product of sin is hell-fire.

Yes or no?

Abegi sin nah sin... The ONLY greater sin is leading people to sin.

sacramento1212:

Here is the reference:

IJohn 5:16
If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

5:17
All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.

Do they all receive the same punishment here on Earth?

No. So you see, they are not equal, else you would be saying that God is not a righteous judge giving the same measurement of punishment to a pencil thief as with a murderer.

it is only one sin that sends people to hell - the rejection of Jesus.

The greatest sin is associating partner with Allah,,,calling man,image, object god...

.According to the Op, God had to come down to verify reports from Sodom and Gormorrah.

So God did not believe those aproko angels.

That should mean Hell fire has grades according to your level of sinning: @ alBHAGDADI

What you are saying is that God punishes a pencil thief with the same measurement he gives a mass murderer. In conclusion, what you've said is that an earthly judge who sends a mass murderer to death but a pencil thief to 2 months in jail is a better judge than God.

Yes, all die due to sin, but not all receive the same punishement for sin here on Earth.

For those that say all sinners end up in hell regardless of the kind of sin they commit, note that the son they sends people to hell fire is the rejection of Jesus Christ. We that we've accepted Jesus are still sinners, but his blood saves us from the condemnation because we accepted it. But those that rejected that saving blood end up in hell.

This piece blessed me, and led to further reading of the following:

Venial Sin
Mortal Sin
Grave Sin
Perfect contrition
Imperfect contrition
Absolution
Anathema

Thanks again

Thank you!

It is difficult not to conclude that this alBagdagy is a wolf in sheep's clothing set to deceive gullible Christians.

So one will go to heaven no matter what he does as long as he has certain beautiful thoughts about Jesus
Isn't it funny how you're the one accusing others for trying to justify their lewd behaviour were as you're the one providing the greatest justification for evil and debauchery.
"Remove the speck from your eyes first"- at least you believe in this.
