sin against the Holy Spirit (fornication, adultery etc) can never be forgiven. therefore no one will see God. everyone will hang on heaven gate grin

There is such thing as fornication, adultery against the Holy Spirit. undecided

That said, fornication, and other sexual sins, are not listed as a sin in the New Covenant, Jesus Christ, instead what is sin is the Lust in your heart.

Matthew 5 vs 27-30
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
27. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You must not commit adultery.’[e]
28. But I tell you that if a man looks at a woman and wants to sin sexually with her, he has already committed that sin with her in his mind.
29. If your right eye makes you sin, take it out and throw it away. It is better to lose one part of your body than to have your whole body thrown into hell.
30. If your right hand makes you sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.
Also, as far as Adultery is concerned, it is a sin committed as a result of divorcing for the wrong reason.

Matthew 19 vs 8-9 (ERV)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Jesus answered, “Moses allowed you to divorce your wives because you refused to accept God’s teaching. But divorce was not allowed in the beginning.
9. I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for the problem of sexual sin, and marries another woman is guilty of adultery.”

Ofcus i know is a sin but d question is
Are all sins equal

No, all sins are not equal. Even human law, different sins have different jail time.
Re: Are All Sins Equal? by witworth(m): 6:00pm On Mar 21, 2021
Anyone who says sins are not equal, must be specific about before who, God or man, coz the way I see things now, not all sins are crime but all crimes are sins before God, because even their so called holy Bible self says, "obey the laws of the land" and so any law that is not obeyed is a crime and demands proper consequences and panalty of the law, all still before man.
But to God all sins should be the same, and the only penalty is what I don't know coz me I don't believe in heaven, hell and all those imaginary stuffs, but all sins should be sin. Sorry am not a christian, I only mentioned stuffs about the bible because of just knowledge from past existance of experience.
And I believe in God even without being a christian or muslim.

How does this fair to you? Somebody that kill a whole family in a cold blood,,,somebody that goes to bank and kill everybody there,,,somebody that hack a fellow man to death for rituals,,, somebody that cut off your troat to pls his religion,,, you mean these people will go to the same hell with somebody that lies simply to put food on his table... If this is the way of God then i must say the God is not a merciful and God of fairness

You would be shocked the things that happen that we do not know about. like i said, there would be levels to suffering in hell. Imagine a fornicator, if its a woman, snakes or dragons could be entering her privates and biting her there for eternity over and over again, or worms would just be coming out from there forever and ever. Where our thinking stop, God own never even dey start from there. Things are happening in the world beyond!

Lie still. God must be a wicked judge if so. It just depends on the sin. Please read 1 John 5:16. All sins are not equal and don't lead to the same punishments. Even a year old know naturally it's so

My dear I am telling you what's in the Bible but you seemed to ignore it for whatever reason. I have nothing to gain by sticking to what is not true. If you believe that this God that is wisdom himself will give the same punishment to somebody that stole Dangote 10 naira and another person that killed 1000 persons, it then means that there is no justice with that your God. That even human justice system is better than his. However I thank God that God is justice himself. Also the quotation you gave has nothing to do with this discussion. Read Matthew 12: 31 & 32. All sin is sin but sins are not equal. Good night.

Yes! And they carry different punishment but ultimately sin is sin and it's bad.

Not Christian doctrine my dear. Christian doctrine or whatever is clear on cases like this. It's even irritating to attribute such perversion of justice to Christianity.

Some so called Christians are plain stu*id and can't reason unless their pastors reason for them. Of course the pastors will always tell them what will make them stick to them the pastors even in the face of facts.

Do you know that i don't understand all you just said in relation to what i said?

Please don't invite God's anger in your life by saying what obviously God didn't say anywhere. What you are not sure of, don't say.

That means God nor dey answer any prayers be that oo, because all are sinners
Not all are sinners though. Only those who continue to live as slaves to sin are sinners.
Those who have been chosen to learn and obey the Truth have been set free from Sin by the Truth and are free in deed. undecided

You strive probably because you do not know the truth.

Here are some questions for you to ponder.

What is sin? undecided
Who defines for us what sin is? undecided
Where do I find the definition given of what constitutes sin? undecided
What does the one who provided this definition say I must do in order not to be found guilty? undecided
What next? undecided

Paul said "For I do not do what I want , but I do the very thing I hate.."
That means he had the knowledge of good and bad (truth)
It takes the spirit of God to live above sin

Having knowledge of good and bad is not Truth as I used it in my post, and it is certainly not the Truth that Jesus Christ was referring to. And according to Jesus Christ, you first need to take the steps towards living above sin before the Spirit of God then comes in to lift you higher above sin.
When Jesus Christ was speaking to the Jews who were sinners, this is what He said...

John 8 vs 31-47
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
31. So Jesus said to the Jews who believed in him, “If you continue to accept and obey my teaching, you are really my followers.
32. You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
33. They answered, “We are Abraham’s descendants. And we have never been slaves. So why do you say that we will be free?”
34. Jesus said, “The truth is, everyone who sins is a slave—a slave to sin.
35. A slave does not stay with a family forever. But a son belongs to the family forever.
36. So if the Son makes you free, you are really free.
Note that nowhere in that conversation does Jesus Christ state that you must have the Holy Spirit first if you want to accept and obey His teachings - In fact, the Spirit of God is not mentioned at all in that conversation Jesus Christ has with the people. undecided
