Are all sins equal?

There are three aspects to answering this question:

1. In terms of temporal punishment, not all sins are equal, Exodus 21:

23 But if there is harm,d then you shall pay life for life, 24eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 25burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

2. In terms of judgment, not all sins are equal, John 19:

11 Jesus answered, “You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.”

James 3:

1 Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly

3. In terms of eternal judgment and punishment, all sins are equal, James 2:

10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.

Romans 6:

23a For the wages of sin is death.

 

[Gottservant]

John said (from memory) "I do not say you should pray for all sin, there is some sin leading to death" 1 John 5:16

Are all sins equal?

There are three aspects to answering this question:
1. In terms of temporal punishment, not all sins are equal, Exodus 21:

True. Some sins are worse than others, and fixing the problem is more difficult. We note that in our own lives that the worse we treat someone, the less inclined they are to forgive us when we repent and apologize.

2. In terms of judgment, not all sins are equal, John 19:

I would assume this is true, as well.

10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.

This indicates that the Law demands perfection--not that all sins are equal in breaking the Law. They equally have the same effect, however, of violating the covenant of Eternal Life.

The purpose of the Law was precisely that, to show that any case of violating God's command causes any opportunity to have Eternal Life to end. If Eternal Life is to be offered again, it must come not by fallen Man, but rather, by the grace of Christ, the new Man.

Are all Sins equal ? No ! only a fool would say yes ?

I drove your car without your permission, to help you out, get milk etc for when you came home late, you would have nothing as the shops are close the next day. = Thank you !

Or i drove your car and abused the hell out of it doing burnouts and all it for no reason but for the hell of it, ran out of fuel and left it their open and keys in it and for your home as well. Thanks for nothing Dawg !

In terms of punishment....all sins are equal.
All sin must be paid for with death.

In terms of difficulty in repentance....different story.
Lost sheep....sin of ignorance
Lost coin.......sin of negligence
Prodigal son...two sins are discussed
Planned sin and unforgiveness. Unforgiveness being the worst and most difficult to overcome.

Shrewd manager....the amounts of forgiven debts of everyone was equal in value. Where some owed a lot more than others and their debts were almost wiped out. But the forgiven amounts were equal.
