What is your argument
Your first statement is wrong and misleading.. God answers prayers whether you are a sinner or not, as you rightly said in your 2nd comment.. He blesses who he please not because of their righteousness or holiness but because he pleases..

All wrong doing is a sin (Transgression) but there's a sin not unto death (Eternal Condemnation...CF 1 John 5:17.
The reason why we don't highlight this verse often is because we have so many amateurs when it comes to theological reasoning so that they won't Keep sinning while believing that it doesn't lead to Death. You need insight under the guidance of the Holy Spirit to Understand Holy Scriptures....is not a novel or fiction

If I regard wickedness in my heart,

The Lord will not hear.

Psalm 66:18

The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous,

And His ears attend to their prayer,

But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil.

1 Peter 3:12).


Isaiah 59:1-2
King James Version

1 Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

Re: Are All Sins Equal? by Nobody: 1:12pm On Mar 21, 2021
Sin is any act against divine law (God's law). A liar is a sinner, A ritualist is also a sinner. The wages of sin is death.( There are over a million ways a man can die) But it is still death.(regardless of how you dead).
To answer the op's very question all sins will attract penalties.
For example me and my friend stole something we was caught i lied my way of the situation, my friend confessed and told the truth. Okay we are still going to be charged off course ( please keep in mind that jesus that for our sins, but let's come back to this).
Though a man can't die twice. My death will be more sophisticated than my friend's.
Romans chapter 14 vs 12 says something about accounting for your deeds
But its like going backwards if we are deliberating on sins being equal or not. Jesus did die for our sin. We are saved from sudden death. Live and be more like Jesus so the tribulations to come will pass over you.

Yes, but solomon fell and became idol worshipper.

David was Holy even though he fell for Bersheba, he repanted of that sin.

This means the holy spirits does respect the ethic of forgiveness in the bible. If they don't forgive, it means they are not the christian holy spirit which implies they aren't holy.

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

You are right. While a sin is a sin ,it still have different degrees to it.

This is your own definition! If you have a clear understanding of what the Bible says and teaches you will understand.

Is rapping a sin?
Re: Are All Sins Equal? by xammax(m): 1:59pm On Mar 21, 2021
The same God that said thou shall not steal also said thou shall not kill. If you steal, you’ve committed a sin likewise if you kill someone.

No sin is greater than another. Sin is sin, Shalom.

Matthew 5-22 "who so ever is angry wijh his brother without a cause, or shall say thou fool or raca shall be in danger of hell fire. The teaching about small and big sin like the teaching about pulgatory which nagates every truth in the bible is from the pit of hell and are a licence to comit adultery etc. Repent now b4 u cross into eternity and regret 4ever.

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.


You contradicted yourself already, Sin is Sin accepted. Which one is some sins carry grave penalties bayii?

all sins and offenses are never termed as "equal" in the eyes of God nor in the eyes of the Law.

read your Bible carefully about the events that led to the utter destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, then you'll understand how and why I came to the summation above.

Are stealing and armed armed robbery equal

How about masturbating and gay

Fornication and adultery

Thank you

Sin is sin. However, even the old and New testaments show that some sins lead to death while some do not.

In the old testament, some sins such as a girl having sex before marriage, murder, and sometimes, manslaughter results in the offender being put to death. Also, idolatry and witchcraft carry death sentences.

Sins such as having your cattle destroy another's farmland demands compensation.

The new testament says there are sins that lead to death and clearly lists things like greed, adultery, fornication and the like, saying that those that live like that shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

However, we can be sure from the teaching of Jesus that sin leads to hell when a man dies if those sins are not forgiven through repentance and cleansing by the blood of Jesus.

For example, both Jesus and Paul taught about forgiving those who sin against us. Jesus said that before you give God anything, that you should be reconciled with your brother. He also said that if we do not forgive those who sin against us that our Father in heaven will not forgive our own sins. This means that all sins are not equal. But that doesn't mean that we should condone sin in our lives because sin leads to eternal death.
