Hi,
guys —
I'm looking for more Biblical backing for
differentiating between mortal and venial
sins.
Matthew 10:33 is the only Biblical verse I
could come up with.
10 32 So every
one who acknowledges me before men, I also
will acknowledge before my Father who is
in Heaven; 33 but
whoever denies me before men, I also will
deny before my Father who is in Heaven.
Matthew 10:32-33 |
I could use a little help.
Thanks,
Barry

there any other Biblical basis for mortal

Hi, Barry —
Check out 1 John 5. It talks about
two kinds of sin:
- one that leads to death, and
- one that does not.
5 14 Our
fearlessness towards him consists
in this, that if we ask anything
in accordance with his will he
hears us. 15 And
if we know that he listens to
whatever we ask him, we know that
we already possess whatever we
have asked of him. 16 If
anyone sees his brother commit
a sin that is not a deadly sin,
he has only to pray, and God will
give life to this brother — provided
that it is not a deadly sin. There
is sin that leads to death and
I am not saying you must pray
about that. 17 Every
kind of wickedness is sin, but
not all sin leads to death.
1 John 5:14-17 |
Hope this helps,
John DiMascio
