Aree all sins Equal in the Eyes of God?!(Q) My Protestant friend wants to know "Are all sins equal in the eyes of God?" (A) They are (Jas2:10-11) ! They are not (Mat10:15; Mat12:31; 1Co6:18; 1Jn5:16) !! Is there a cotradiction? not a bit, as it is just an ostensible discrepancy !!! Sins are equal in the final destiny they lad to: Eternal death. They are not equal as to how difficult it is to repent from. how harmful consequences they leave, how more punishment they deserve. (discussion raised -- abridged) I thought it more complex than that! Unless you think that I make out sins to be of a hierarchical nature, which I do not, then I can find where we agree but I fail to spot where we disagree! (Complexities arise from a preassumption that it is there as it takes sometihng mystical or sophisticated to explain. However, it is as simple as the context of the scriputres quoted above speak.)
