Sin

I was thinking today about sin and how we view sin and the things that we call sin. My first question is: do protestants have a scale of the different sins? What I mean is, do we think that some sins are greater or worse than others? I think most of you would say no to that question. However, what is your answer to this question: Which of these two things do we condemn the person for doing more...lying or having homosexual tendancies? What about...having pre-marital sex or gossiping? Drinking alcohol or over eating? Do we have a "sin scale" where we view some sins as being greater than others?

Now I realize that there are some of those things that do more physical damage than others and there are different issues with each one of them. Still, should we crack down on homosexuality more harshly than people in our church gossiping or complaining about anything and everything that they don't like? We say we don't have a sin scale...but are fooling ourselves?

What do you think?



Good Day.
