Are stealing and armed armed robbery equal

How about masturbating and gay

Fornication and adultery

Thank you

The Bible says (1 John 5:16-17) every wrongdoing is a sin. However, there are sins that lead to death. From this passage, we can say that not all sins have equal penalties. In a nutshell, avoid all types of sin.

sin is sin but every sin has its own torment in hell. some one who steals will get a different torture from some one who is a murderer

Hello.

No, all sins are not equal.

11 Jesus answered, “You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore the one who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.”
John 19:11 (NKJV)

However, all sin is sin.

10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. 11 For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
Jam 2:10 — Jam 2:11 (NKJV)

From the Bible, it is said that the wages of sin is death. This tells us that no matter how one classifies sin, they are equal in the eyes of God but may not be equal in the eyes of man.
All sins are not equal both biblical and in the eyes of God, bible says there are sins that leads to death and sins that does not, but we should not pray for it. And Jesus said it is easier for a camel to go through the eyes of a needle than a rich man to enter the kingdom of God..

Sin is sin. Some may carry grave penalties though, while others may carry little penalties. Eg someone that steals and is caught can go to PRISON and if he is ARMED he may even be EXECUTED based on NIGERIAN LAW.

Fornication may not carry such penalties but it's still a sin.

Sinning against the HOLY SPIRIT is an UNFORGIVABLE SIN according to the BIBLE.

all sins are not equal
e.g
Punching someone in hatred is a “little sin” compared to murdering someone in hatred.

1 John 5:17 (New KJV) says: All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death (Hell)

According to Roman Catholic belief, we are made to understand we have "Mortal Sin (Major) and Venial Sin (Minor)"

Mortal sin leads to Hell but Venial sin doesn't. Though, the accumulation of Venial sins lead to Mortal sins.

God bless us all and happy new week!

Most Christians believe all Sins are the same but Muslims and Jews believe Sins are not the same.

yes all sins are equal...1 sin and 2000 sins are the same...

Lies. This is definitely from the evil one to encourage people to continue sinning. Bible makes it clear in different places that all sins are not equal.

according to the bible, they are all equal, you will go to hell for lying just as much as murder. God will forgive u for lying just like he'll forgive u for murder. so if you can't avoid all sin, do all and enjoy yourself. either God forgives u or not. just make sure u ask of forgiveness every now and den. lol

All sins can’t be equal

How can someone that steal Maggi be subjected to the same harsh treatment with someone that use a full human being for ritual?

Think about it !

All Unrighteousness Is Sin. However, Sins Has Levels Of Punishment & Punishments May Differ Based On D Gravity Of Their Sins. Let's Use Our Natural Laws & Punishments As An Example. A Person Who Stole Money & A Person Who Committed A Murder, Their Punishments Won't Be Dsame.

If you do not know what to say, it is better you keep quiet. Advising people who are unable to overcome a particular sin to go ahead and commit all sins is satanic. No be everything dem dey take play. There are weak minds everywhere.

Who can avoid all sin? Our duty is to work on ourselves so as to overcome our weaknesses. In the course of this, we fall several times into same or different sins. That should not make us give up and open ourselves to all forms of sins even those we have no issues overcoming.

Take your time o.
