A "sin" is ANY transgression AGAINST The Law, or the Ten Commandments, as it is written. The first three Laws are for God and the remaining seven Laws are for Man...\n\nThe so-called "Seven Deadly Sins" is an invention or fabrication of the RCC since they are not found as such in the Bible. However, for the most part, they do pertain only to the sins against Man, or are temporal in nature.\n\nHave you noticed that the list  you mention does not include sins of idolatry, blasphemy or not consecrating the Sabbath [the seventh day]??\n\nHere's a test: Compare the entries of Exodus 20:1-17 between a Catholic Bible and a KJV Bible; and further, compare it to the Ten Commandments as professed by the RCC in their Catechism books. You will see certain differences between them... But I digress.\n\nTo answer your question, Jesus died for ALL the sins of every repentant sinner who begs for forgiveness and vows to sin no more... as it is written. CAVEAT: Of course, when you sin again then all bets are off!\n\nPeace be with you.

It is said by learned friars \nthat wishing and the crime are one. \nThat God punishes desires, \nas much as if the deed were done. \n\nNow if wishing damns us, \nThen you and I are damned to all our \nheart's content. \nCome then, let us enjoy \nsome PLEASURE for our punishment.

Jesus Christ was to be a role model for us to follow, but as with all laws, the laws of the  old testament had consequences for breaking those laws, which was animal sacrifice. Since Adam by his disobedience to God, inputted the seed of sin in man, it was through the Death of A Good, Perfect Man, The Son of God, that the  penalty of the laws were fulfilled.

Romans 12:1 Consequently I entreat YOU by the compassions of God, brothers, to present YOUR bodies a sacrifice living, holy, acceptable to God, a sacred service with YOUR power of reason. 2 And quit being fashioned after this system of things, but be transformed by making YOUR mind over, that YOU may prove to yourselves the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

That has been the pagan practices of a very Old Tradition when man was still grappling for an answer for what is a better offer to their God.. a young blood, an enemy's blood, a basket of fruits, an animal blood, a virgin's blood, a hunter's kill, a stranger, a sinner, a witch, criminal or yourself as a sacrifice? Is it really okay to kill in the name of God.\nIn Ezekiel 18: 32 God declared that "For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Lord. Repent and live.'\nMeaning even He is oppose to killing. All He wanted is for you to go back to being good so that you could live.\nIsrael at that time of Ezekiel had even blamed God for being unjust and so God then told them "Is it not your ways that are unjust?" a simple question that proved man got the wrong interpretations on the words of God and they did what God did not tell them to do.\nBut that killing part was even seen by Jesus when he spoke to his disciples. John 16:1-3 "All this I have told you so that you will not go astray. They will put you out of the synagogue; IN FACT, A TIME IS COMING WHEN ANYONE WHO KILLS YOU WILL THINK HE IS OFFERING A SERVICE TO GOD. They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me. I have told you this so that when the time comes you will remember that I warned you. I did not tell you this at first because I was with you.\nThat kind of killing is being done by one major religion who thinks they are offering service to God and they really think they know God so much which they dont.

Since this is in the science section... I'm going to say decomposition.\nAs for your soul, to hell unless you repent your sins and accept Jesus into your life.

The whole of Galatians is arguing against that line of reasoning - if we sin we disobey God! Christians should obey Him!\n\nGalatians 2:\n16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.\n\n 17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. \n\n1 Corinthians 3:\n16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?\n\n 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.\n\nRead 1 Corinthians 5 (see link)\n\n1 Corinthians 6:\n9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,\n\n 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. \n\n1 Corinthians 6:\n15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. \n\n18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.\n\n 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?\n\n 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.\n\netc........\n\n\n>Other than that one, Christians are free to commit as many sins as they want, as often as they want, and any kind they want.<\n\nThe person who wrote that is totally and utterly WRONG!

I believe he preferred the skin bones and the parts that humans could not digest... hm-mm go figure that... \n\n\nActually, there is no documented case of when "God" preferred one over the other. \n\nIn general what one sacrificed to "God" was 10% of what one had made. The sacrifice was made in thanksgiving and also it was a request for a more bountiful year. It was the human servants who changed what was needed. No longer was it the bone, skin, blood of the animals but instead it became cloth, gold, and incense. Later this became money.

It's pretty obvious what God means when He says that it is a detestable thing for a man to lie with another man as a man lies with a woman.\n\nIt is made even more so obvious when you look at 1 Corinthians 6:9.\n\n"Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders..."\n\nMade even more obvious in Romans 1:26-27 - "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion."\n\nTranslators often use the oldest and most reliable Hebrew manuscripts to write their Bibles. The only differences among the versions are in that of wording, but the collective meaning is not lost (slightly altered, maybe). For instance, in Genesis, the word "yom" is used for "day" in the 24 hours sense, so we can apply that to Genesis 1, which uses "yom" and thus the days of creation took six literal days.\n\nAre you indeed even AWARE what those verses are talking about, or are you just blindly holding to the homosexual's argument that those verses don't really refer to such things, because you sure don't give any substantiation to back up your claims. Your case does not have a point to begin with, because you are just spouting hot water.\n\nAs Paul said in Romans 7:7-8, "What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed I would not have known what sin was except through the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, "Do not covet." But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from law, sin is dead."\n\nThe law (Exodus, Lev., and Deut.) reveals sin for what it is.\n\nMay you find peace from Christ.

No, what that verse says is that everyone will bear his own sin. In other words, they will answer for whatever they do. It does not say no sacrifice is needed.\n\nThere is no sacrifice we can make that can purchase our salvation. For our salvation or redemption, no sacrifice is needed because Jesus was the perfect sacrifice, he was crucified for all of us, all we have to do is to come under his covering, accept the sacrifice was made for us and believe the sacrifice has washed away all our sins. \n\nBut as Christians and believers in God's word, we will continue to make sacrifices. Jesus said he that lays he hands to the plow and looks back is not fit for the kingdom. He that forsake father, mother, daughter, son etc for the sake of the kingdom will be rewarded in heaven, Luke.9:59-62.

"Many" foolishly rely on ~cheap grace~ pseudo-theology that God's Law is not for them. It is a heresy called 'antinomianism' which means lawlessness - i.e. Torahlessness.\n\nLaw is liken unto a credit card - each purchase makes a debt which will be included in the next monthly statement -- each transgression against God's Law is condemnation... but God has sent His Salvation to pay the price for those who are faithful followers of the 100% Torah-observant Messiah. Therefore the Law has no bite for those who love God, love His Word, & seek to do His will "on earth as it is in heaven." Those who are rebellious & refuse God's Law will not be Justified for their LACK of faith... & they will pay the price for their sin with their soul.\n\nThat is a ~mystery~ to many who follow the pagan Cult of Constantine (the mainline denominations - e.g. Catholic, Protestant, non-denominational churches).

Yes, Jesus redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. So that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. See Galations 3:13-14\nThe law brought sin and death the Spirit brings righteousness and life. Romans 7:6 we are delivered from the law, that we should serve in the newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the written code.

Dear SteveP,\n\nTo call something Sin is to accept that it is unacceptable to God.  Christians believe that sin has separated them from God and the only way to bridge that separation was through a sacrifice for Sin which was God's only Son Jesus.  And so for the Christian they understand what a great price Jesus paid for their sins and they are grateful and realize that they themselves deserved to be punished for their sins but instead Jesus was punished and so their obedience to God is out of love.  Love for not only what Jesus had done, but love for God's character and who He is.\n\nThe Bible has much to say about those who live licentiously believing that forgiveness gives them the license to do whatever they want.  Those may be hearts that have never truly accepted Jesus -- God knows all hearts and can not be deceived.  So to realize that a person needs Jesus forgiveness will produce a life that aims to please God and live by His standards (though not perfectly- which is why forgiveness, mercy, and grace is necessary).\n\ni hope that helps.  Kindly,\n\nNickster

Well, apparently they do not understand the term "personal conviction".  God gave us the animals to not only keep under our domination but also to eat (it is in Genesis...through the rest of the OT you can read about the stuff they weren't supposed to eat).\n\nIn the NT, it specifically states that it isn't what is put INTO the body that makes someone "unclean" - it is what comes out of our heart.  Paul even spoke of eating meat made as a sacrifice to idols.

Matthew 5:27-30:\n"You have heard that it was said, `Do not commit adultery.'  But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.  If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.  And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.\n\nProverbs 6:25-26:\nDo not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes, for the prostitute reduces you to a loaf of bread, and the adulteress preys upon your very life.\n\nColossians 3:5-6:\nPut to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.  Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.\n\n1 Thessalonians 4:3-8:\nIt is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality;  that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable,  not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God;  and that in this matter no one should wrong his brother or take advantage of him. The Lord will punish men for all such sins, as we have already told you and warned you.  For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.  Therefore, he who rejects this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.

Lying (Falsehood)\nIt is the root of all sins.\nAssociating some one or something with the Divinity of God is the greatest of sins and crimes.\nIf Divine laws were man made, then every offended would have been physically punished. but alas no.\nLet all who transgress search his/her soul and seek the path of righteousness.\nIndeed lying is the greatest of sins!
