@bethany and I were discussing the question, "are there different degrees to sin?"
Jesus said that sinning in your heart makes you guilty of sin, but are all sins a felony or there spiritual misdemeanors? Both felonies and misdemeanors are law breakers, but have different consequences.
I am studying this question today.
Is lust in my heart equal to the act? Will the sin of rape or murder reap the same as lying to my grandma about her pie being good if it isnt?
thoughts?
@sinbach @bethany It is quite obvious that there is a gradient of sin and I don't think there is much of an argument otherwise. I'm a surveyor by profession and many times I'm required to measure and document where something is and compare it to where it is supposed to be. Things are never perfect or wrong. There are statistical measurements taken over time that provide certainty of whether something is in tolerance or not. I think our actions are a lot like this when it comes to sin.
