alBHAGDADI:
Do they all receive the same punishment from God here on Earth? No.

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 sin 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.

Lord knows I avoid religious threads

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.

Awesome01:
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:
If you are a Christian, then I advise you to study the following passages well. The problem is with the interpretation of the Bible:

1 John 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."

The sin here, I believe is when a man totally rejects the salvation in the Lord Jesus. God will not overrule the will of the person being prayed for. The prayer of intercession is a powerful prayer. It is an unselfish prayer for others.

It is in the will of God to save all of mankind. The unselfish prayer, prayed by someone who firmly believes, will be answered, if the person being prayed for has not totally turned against God.

In the book of James, we read:

James 5:14-15 "Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:" "And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him."

We see from this, that it is correct to pray for the sins of others to be forgiven. The only time this would not be answered, would be if the person had totally rejected salvation in Jesus Christ. You cannot give a person something that they will not take.

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

We see in the following Scripture in Jesus' own words that sins will be forgiven. The only one that will not, is the sin against the Holy Ghost, which I believe is dying not believing in Jesus Christ.

Matthew 12:31 "Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy [against] the [Holy] Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men."

Hermes019:
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"

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

lacum:
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 .

sacramento1212:
Some sins may be classified under venial while others as Mortal sin. For the Catholic faithfuls, they should know this.

khalhokage:
Every Sunday this guy comes on nairaland to try to justify his bigotry.

horpeyemmi66:
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...

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

hoopLA:
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.

alBHAGDADI:
Example is when you are a social drinker but you condemn drunkenness

oluxy:
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.

ofem89:
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.

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

So God did not believe those aproko angels.

Fourwinds:
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?

jamace:
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.

hoopLA:
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.

arantess:
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

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

We should ask for grace to live about sin.......needless measuring which sin is greater[i][/I]
