    Absolutely. Coveting thy neighbors wife isn't as bad as shooting somebody in the head. Jebus understands this

    and forgives us of our little sins.

    Hi there!

    According to the Bible, no sin is greater or less than another. I know it's difficult to think that a murder holds the same weight as using a cuss word, but it's true according to God's word. The wonderful thing is that regardless of what sin you commit, if you honestly and truly repent, God will forgive you---what an awesome gift!!

    nope sinning is sinning. some things are more specified than others like in the ten commandments, but i think that the little things are just as bad sometimes maybe even worse

    sin in sin. God does not forgive someone more than another (thats why his love is unconditional and soo awesome) But it also says in the bible "pay ceasar what is due ceasar, pay God what is due God." Im man's eyes and the eyes of established society, an act may deserve more punishment, however, God will forgive in the same capacity for all human errors.

    No, though I do think that there are less socially accepted sins, and sins that are totally considered normal in society.

    the respond to your question, is "confident". The question is fixated on a posters' reaction to your till now question. and thanks to that, you won't be in a position to flow on. Are the questions you ask consistently smitten via a responders' respond, which you regularly won't be in a position to upward thrust above your own self value to impact somebody you are trying to apply college get admission to vocabulary, while that's pointless. Even an English Lit. instructor, might propose you to deliver your texts right down to earth.. At one time, II had a greater stepped forward vocabulary for college. the common individual could no longer understand what i become attempting to declare. This verbage could be considered via some as pompous habit, and consistent with probability they experience they are being talked right down to, if their well-known vocabulary is what the common individual on the line might use in talking. You recommended at present, to flow on, if posters did no longer like the style you be conscious a sentence. you could make a respected assertion with out attempting to sound conceited, or pompous. that's a given fact, that many human beings can nicely understand what you're saying. yet don't experience delicate re- sponding to stiff vocabulary, extremely than what's used via maximum folk of posters. consistent with probability the poster who has aggravated you to the element you're obsessed, needed you to break the question right down to consumer-friendly English, and make it greater comprehensible for all, and not some. considering that my reason on answering your question become to enlighten you to the opportunity of that posters' reason, i might take excitement in in case you dis- regard this as a 'chatting' submit. yet i got here upon it needed to apply the be conscious, 'you' to handle the the proper option purpose of my communication.

    I guess. A guy who steals bread to feed his family is less worthy of punishment than someone who is envious of anothers possessions.
