That's not what he said for sure, but I think we are getting a little bit distracted when we try to think of God in a worldly way. God by definition is infinitely greater than that. Think Anselms ontological argument.
Clearly, from scripture, we know there are different degrees of sin: John 19:11 "...the one who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.”, Matthew 12:30-32 the unpardonable sin, 1 John 16-17 there is sin unto death but not all sin, Luke 12:47-48 willful sin is punished greater than sin in ignorance. Yes, all sin separates us from God and requires a savior (Jesus) for forgiveness and reconciliation, justification, but common sense tells us not all sins are equal. The God of the Bible is a just God, He does not punish some man who dies young not even knowing the name of Christ to the same degree as a Hitler, Stalin, or Satan.
One error comparing Hitler and Stalin to Lucifer a fallen angel, but other then that you are right. God created man in his own image, not angels. We are above angels, with Gods favor.
One small sin leads to even more disgusting sins . Pray for God's help , keep your focus on him and don't let satan's lies and temptations creep into your mind
All unrighteousness is sin there is no big or little sin "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all." (James 2:10) King James Version.
The bible doesn't explicitly say it in that kind of way. But all sins are not equal. For example, there is one unforgivable sin, blasphemy against the holy spirit. Consequently this must be the greatest and most severe sin. Every other sin is pale compared to blaspheming the holy spirit.
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. All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. 1 John 5:16-17
Jesus proclaims in talking to Pilate, "... he that delivered Me unto thee hath the greater sin." This is a clear comparison of two sins, one being greater than the other.
This is the 2nd video that does not answer the question asked. I wanted to know how God sees various sins, NOT how we're supposed to "balance" our understanding of sin in our society!
Well he does, the question is “is all sin equal” and he says many times throughout this video God sees all sin the same, that it’s consequence is death regardless of what sin you do... again he says this many times
God doesnt see all sin the same brother study the word of God because this claim has no Scriptural foundation, Jesus himself said it John 19:11 and in the old testament when God gives the law to Israel he punishes sins differently this is common sense to a born again believer because the law has been written in our hearts and Paul says in Scripture " I would not have known what sin is except by the law"
so what you're saying is man is a better judge of sin than God. And yet you never once bring up one passage of scripture to back up your claim that to God "sin is sin." You will never find a single verse in all the Bible where God says all sin is equal before him. This idea is heretical and even blasphemous. Appalling. On the contrary, God lists several things as abominations -- sins which are worse than others. He says, in Proverbs 6:16-19, 16: These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. God also says Leviticus 18:22 - Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it [is] abomination. And in Deuteronomy 22:5 - The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so [are] abomination unto the LORD thy God. Note that in today's modern culture, what is virtuous to men and women nowadays is actually an abomination to God. We do NOT know better than God. God does not call all things an abomination. The very word denotes God hates some things worse than others. However, for an example of a sin that God does not judge as harshly, Proverbs 6:30 says, "People do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his hunger when he is starving." Jesus, as well as the OT, promises stiffer punishment for knowing the right and still doing wrong than for doing doing wrong out of ignorance. There is even an unforgiveable sin: blaspheme of the Holy Spirit. And then of course, God puts special emphasis on the Ten Commandments, as we all used to do. Finally, it wasn't for just venial sins that Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed. And Jesus said it would be worse in the Day of Judgement -- when God will judge everyone according to their works, every idle word -- for those towns he went to in person that rejected him. This man is preaching something that tickles the ears of modern society, but is not the truth according to the Holy Word of God.
Incorrect James 2:10 "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all". You're either perfect or you're not. It doesn't matter if sin is equal or unequal since the path of following the law to heaven demands perfection. Yet at the same time you're correct because God makes it clear some sin is worse and it is even clear, through our own human eyes, that sin like murder is far worse than sin like lusting.
Certainly sins are not equal. God would not be a God of justice if they were. 1 John 5:16 says some sins are unto death and some sins not. Jesus talks about straining gnats and swallowing camels (worrying about small sins and ignoring big sins).
what happens to a Christian if he sins AFTER salvation any of the sins mentioned in these lists, Mark 7:21-23; Rom. 1:18-32; 1 Cor. 6:9, 10: Gal. 5:19-21; 1 Tim. 1:9, 10; 2 Tim. 3:1-5; Rev. 21:8 does he remain saved or he must repent and abandon them before he dies? Paul rebuked Christians who sinned immoral sins after salvation for not repenting. "lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and I shall mourn for many who have sinned before and have not repented of the uncleanness, fornication, and lewdness which they have practiced." 2 Cor 12:21
It just struck me that all sins are equal according to God - for every sin involves us missing the mark. And we all sin as we were born into sin through the first Adam, and we are delivered from it through the second Adam. And while all sins are equal according to God, according to man, they have different weightings. I guess that's the way we can diminish the smaller sins...
Yes sin is sin but if you read the old testament Laws you will be surprised when you find out how many we are guilty of breaking. The law is our school master to lead us to Christ for salvation. If we hadn't of had the law how would we ever had known that we were sinners in need of salvation.
1 John 5:16-17 spells it out clearly. Also Paul in 1 Corotians 5 and on writes about some sins that will cause you to be banned out of the church if you don't repent.
The Bible says that if we break the law of God in one point, we are guilty. Any sin, whether great or small to us, is great in the sight of God. We are all born condemned, because we are born as a sinner. We inherit the sin nature. I believe that we can all agree that a little white lie cannot be compared to adultery. There are different degrees of sin, with different degrees of the outcome, and the punishment.
Brother if all sins are the same why does the law from God given at mount sinai punishes all sins different if you wanna study it in dept begin at the law for Pail says "I would not have known what sin was except by the law" and John says there are sins unto death and the Lord Jesus himself says some sins are greater John 19:11
The 10 commandments are God's eternal law. The ritual and purity rules of the OT covenants were a "shadow of things to come," i.e. the death and ressurection of Christ. The 10 commandments include the seventh-day sabbath.
What type of a question is that? Are you trying to find some sins which aren't too bad so that you can indulge in them without having your conscience pricked too much? Sin is Sin and nothing that defileth will ever enter into Heaven. That is why we must be born again of the Spirit of God and become a 'new creation' in Christ Jesus. Christ Jesus has died to remove the man after Adam from before the eyes of God. He has been raised from the dead with the sin question dealt with and we have to be with Him on 'resurrection ground'.
Smeaton Lighthouse Amen thank you Jesus for dying for us, I am a horrible sinner that has commit many crimes in the eyes of God, but I accept Jesus Free gift of salvation of Him dying on the cross for us. I believe He was buried and He rose again from the dead on the 3rd day. In Jesus Name Amen!
Sure as a society we see some sins as more egregious than others, we call them "crimes". The wages of all or any type of sin before God is death, all have sinned, there is none righteous... no not one. Death is a payment duly earned by sin, eternal life is a gift given by grace from God. So then, is there a group that sins in such a way as to not find forgiveness? Yes... those who say they have no sin, they can not be saved if they remain in that state.
Poor response, "sin is sin", sins are not equal in the sight of God how does someone have a seminary degree and not know this, The Bible clearly teaches it, even the Lord Jesus himself John 19: 11
Where is his proof that God views all sin equally? This is why early catholicism had a point in making the Bible off limits to the congregation, the greater public etc: attainment of knowledge without wisdom often leads to calamity. The idea that God doesn't delineate between venial sin and mortal sin is an utter miscarriage of one's faith, requiring many among the faithful to suspend disbelief while they go about performing the mental gymnastics required to perceive a God who equates stealing a pack of bubble gum, to killing someone. This person, man of God, should seriously consider the implications of espousing this twisted belief.
Just adding a point. Jesus mentioning the existence of greater sin. John 19:11 NASBS Jesus answered, "You would have no authority over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason he who delivered Me to you has the greater sin." But all sinners great or small need Jesus Christ for salvation.
The FIRST one was the most consequential! Think of how many went to HELL since that first sin! And how much SUFFERING mankind has endured because of it. This includes EVERYONE since that day. Sickness, violence, wars, assaults, accidents, death.
Sin is sin But not a good answer I am sure like earth penalties of certain sin or crime has different consequences so I am sure it’s the same with God.
If he demands and has the right to demand then why free will danding worship is not deserving of worship I injoying worshipping that that deserves to be worshiped
Homosexuality is one of the abominations If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them. God as is a prideful look and hands that she'd innocent blood. That in itself shows that God sees some sin as worse. That's why our law sees some crimes worse than another. But it's still sin. AnD THIS IS PREVELANT IN MANY CHURCHES through the acts of believers Proverbs 6:16-19 lists seven things which are also abominations: "haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are swift in running to mischief, a false witness who utters lies, and one who spreads strife among brothers."b

What I get from this is that man needs to judge sins by severity, but that God punishes all sins equally...by eternal damnation of the soul.
Sin is sin, lie is lie, murder is murder and so on. Obviously there’s a huge difference between lying to your friend or killing him.
But the value is the same? Having trouble understanding. And excepting it.
