Shibaraba: Guy, I'm with you 100%. I believe that you have found and made peace with your soul and God. With this mentality, you'll find out how easy it is to serve God. Let the holier than thou Christians continue to twist and re-twist the word of God. That on its own is a sin. |

loko50:Its such a pity that Christians don't even understand the bible they read " a sin that is unto death", in the context it was used is speaking of sins that the punishment is death e.g adultery ,the law given to Moses stipulates death punishment to certain sins,that is what the bible means by "sin that is unto death" |

Hermes019:Are you for real, please brother learn. When the Bible talks about death it's simply talking about Hell. For instance, the wages of sin is death. This means that the consequences of sin is Hell is not that if you sin you will just die normal death . |

I keep wondering why God created sin in the Frist place? And can humans really do without sins? |

OddsIsland:I have been on this issue for a long time... For people excuse themselves not to be rebuked because they want to continue in that sin. So they tell the person cautioning them "if u have no sin be the first to cast a stone" very funny ignorant people... Sins are never the same.. Thank u OP |

hoopLA: 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? |

alBHAGDADI: Drinking is not drunkeness, just as eating is not gluttony Have you never read this part of the scripture: Nothing that enters one from outside can make that person unclean. It is what comes out from within that makes unclean. 16 Let everyone who has ears listen." - Mark 7:15 Jesus then called the people near him and said to them, "Listen and understand: 11 what enters into the mouth does not make a person unclean, what defiles one is what comes out of his mouth." - Matthew 15:10-11 2 Likes |

Fourwinds:Dude. Words of Christ is what I'm basing my argument on. In not using your logic to argue. So give your lecture a rest abeg Matt 5.28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 1 thes 5.22 Flee from every appearance of evil. Enough said. Please if you dont have anything to argue of in that line, dont respond If "greater sin" with no punishment described is what you are holding on to then you could have missed me instead of trying hard to justify why you commit sin. The wages of sin is eternal damnation. All sin. Not my words. |

jamace: Commentators differ widely in their thoughts about what this sin that leads to death is and whether the death is physical or spiritual. Paul wrote that some Christians had died because they took communion unworthily(1cor 11:27 to 30),and Ananias and Sapphira were struck dead for lying (Acts 5:1 to 11) John was probably referring to people who had left the Christian fellowship and joined antichrist. By rejecting the only way of salvation, these people were putting themselves out of reach of prayer. THEREFORE, WE SHOULD CONTINUE PRAYING FOR OUR BRETHENS, LEAVING THE JUDGEMENT UP TO GOD. MY VERDICT NO GREATER OR LESSER SIN (Zechariah doubted, he was dumb, Mary gave the same response, she was eulogised Peter denied Jesus, he was redeemed with mercy Judas betrayed Jesus, he was haunted down by guilt Ananias and Sapphira lied, they die Abraham lied (gen 20),he's being inducted into the hall of faith The list goes on THE LORD IS THE JUDGE..

hoopLA: Using the Bible as a reference John19: 8 to 11 8 When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid, 9 and he went back inside the palace. “Where do you come from?” he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer. 10 “Do you refuse to speak to me?” Pilate said. “Don’t you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?” 11 Jesus answered, “You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.” Because Jesus Christ didn't spelt out the punishment for the greater sin He talked about means it doesn't exist? 1 Like |
