Which is the worst of the Seven Deadly Sins?

well, if you are a religious person, the Bible does say something to the extent of: "All sins are equal in the eyes of God." and then goes on to basically say thinking about committing the sin is just as bad as actually committing it...
If you aren't...I would probably also lean towards murder...

In God's Eyes which sin is more deadly than the other? Does 1 keep you from going to Heaven? Or does it take 3? Or does it take all 7? I think 7 deadly, means all, rank the same! A sin is a sin. And we all are guilty, are we not? If we say not, then we lie> Oops

Um, yeah. The worst 'sin' is believing there are '7 deadly sins'. What a load. So I think the worst 'sin' is stupidity, for believing all that stuff in the first place. What a waste of a perfectly good brain.

I think the worst of the seven is Pride. Pride, to me, seems to father some of the other deadlies. It is also the sin which separated Satan from God and banished him and his supporters to an eternity of fire. Another factor to me is how pride works on redemption. Say I commit adultery. If I can admit that what I have done was wrong and ask God for forgiveness, forgiveness will be granted. However, if I am prideful and do not believe that I should ask for forgiveness, I can not be forgiven and in turn will be separating myself further from God more than the actual sin itself would have. Does that make sense?

the worst of the seven deadly sins must be ENVY, because it makes the person committing the sin suffer more than anyone else

Pride is the worst deadly sin. Pride is a desire to be more important than others.
Depending on how much pride you have will lead you to the other deadly sins:
Envy,Gluttony,Greed,Lust,Sloth,and Wrath.
It breaks down like this:Lust is the desire of excitement or even the desire to be accepted,however lust usually involves a sexual desire. Gluttony is an overindulgence of food and drink.Greed is like lust and gluttony-excess of sin.Greed usually involves wealth.Sloth is laziness or an unwillingness to act.Wrath is an inappropiate feeling of hatred and anger. Envy is wanting what someone else has usually involving love or success. So I ask you-How much pride do you have? How much of your pride affects you decision making?

I believe that greed is the worst sin. Greed can manifest itself in many ways and almost always leads to the other deadly sins.

Any sins that harms another person. I am tired of people saying all sins are equal in God's eyes. He never said that! He said any sin made you an equal transgressor of the law. It is more harmful to kill someone than it is to steal from another. The person you steal from feels the loss and the betrayal of your theft. However, killing someone is an act of taking another's life. It is a sin that cannot be rectified.
