Is all Sin really the same?
newgene87:
This Thought is a little complex to me. See, I live in nc and you all may be aware of the "Ammendment One" thing and gay marriage and whatever and being discussions with people; I really wanted to get some viewpoints from the truth (since this is bout the only group of people I know who seek Real Truth). People defend the idea of "gay-marriage" against other peoples acts like stealing, cussing, wrath, fighting, not worshipping God: and they're ALL the same. Okay, with that thought, James 2 comes to mind --- James 2:10-11
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. Okay, i believe thats on the matter of judging, but isn't a man lying with a man 'STRONGER' (in a sense) than, than the other sins, meaning the 10 commandments? I ask that because of Leviticus 20:13 says
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." I see the same connection with "lying with animal". God labels those as "Abominations" and not just "Sins" or transgressions of the law: so wouldnt that be a "higher" sin?? Now, ima make it known, I am not condemning anyone. I'm really not, but I'm seeking the truth behind the matter of people leaning on that all sin is sin, but isn't "certain" sins on another level than other sins, i.e gay-marriage? And might I add, I neither voted for nor against this amendment. Just seeking truth. Thanks :)

Hi newgene87
This is a complex matter. Of course not all sin is the same, there is many different degrees and levels of mistakes and God is also going to judge the world in according to their works. The church is the one who teached us that all sin small and great deserve hell if we don't believe what they parrot. That is just wrong.
Anyway, if you really care about these issue. It's very detailed on the transcript called ''Guilty of all'' by L.Ray Smith:http://forums.bible-truths.com/index.php/topic,3709.0.html There you will see some very good points and one complete answer to your questions. Actually that 'speech' is one of my most favorites.

greetings newgene87
i agree with Moises that not all sin is the same, many different degrees and levels of mistakes...
there are sins that are easily forgiven by our Lord when He was still on earth. We read in the Scriptures saying He "your sins are forgiven" Mat. 9:2, Mar. 2:5, Luke 5:20, Luke 7:48).
but there are also sins that is not forgiven either in this age or in the age to come.
"But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sins. Mar. 3:29 (see also Mat. 12:32, Luke 12:10)
Revilonivek:
Actually- Jesus said whatever is without sin can throw the first stone. No one did because in truth, We all are guilty of sin. Sin is sin. These people who threw the stones at the gay people while being guilty by other sins that they have done- it's a form of hypocrisy.
They are no way better than these gay people really. They just like to think that they are. They should not persecute these people nor should we. We are in the same hell but different devils. It is like we're persecuting someone with their devils while not focusing on the devils that is persecuting us. we go no where. We need to learn how to love in spite of it. Repossess the mind of children. Love saw right through the sins and loved the persons anyway. It is love that people need to learn. Love is not limited to good or evil, It loves you for you, even gay people included.
my two cents
John from Kentucky:
Actually God does hate sin and sinners. Those pesky scriptures. It seems the Great God doesn't agree with our 21st Century opinions about love, love, love everybody regardless of what they say or do.
Also, I bet that Jesus didn't have pretty feminine long hair with goo-goo eyes of love. When He kicked a little rear end and threw the money changers out of the Temple---I bet He had a little fire in His eyes---a hard man to stop.
