Mortal sins?

[IloveJesus92]

I'm really scared now, because I read online about 'Mortal sins' meaning ones that are unforgiveable...
It said gluttony is a mortal sin, and so is being drunk.
Sometimes I eat more food than I need.
Don't we all do that?

I've never done anything 'bad' when I was drinking, like drugs, sex...etc..

I think this was for Catholics, because I was always told that every sin is weighed the same, and that the only one that isn't forgiveable is neglecting God.
So I'm not getting into heaven based on this?

 

[Boanerges]

All sin seperates one from God and thus in a sense is mortal. Do not worry about made up lists but instead come to Jesus in faith and all your sins will be forgiven. He gladly paid a terrible price for us but it is simply up to us to availourselves of loves gift.
Ask Jesus to forgive your sins, to be your Lord and to live and dwell in you. He will gladly wash away all your sin and give you new life.

Thank you, I thought it was made up but I wanted to make sure.
Thanks so much.
God bless you!

God doesn't categorize sins. Everyone of your sins was yet future when Jesus took your judgement and shed His blood for you. His blood is not the blood of an animal that has to be reapplied every time you sin. Don't listen to people telling you that your fellowship is broken or that you lose your righteousness in Christ because you sin. Its not true one bit according to the Word. Whenever you sin just say out loud, "I thank you Father that all of my sins were forgiven by the blood of Jesus Christ. Thank you Lord Jesus that you are my perfection and holiness. I receive your over abundant grace now and I receive your gift of righteousness." The enemy won't be able to play with your mind this way. We need to always remind ourselves of who we are in Christ when we fail.

Romans 5:20 (Amplified Bible)

<SUP id=en-AMP-28066 class=versenum>20</SUP>But then Law came in, [only] to expand and increase the trespass [making it more apparent and exciting opposition]. But where sin increased and abounded, grace (God's unmerited favor) has surpassed it and increased the more and superabounded,

Without knowing what or where you read about 'mortal sin', I'm not sure of the context but all sin is forgivable except blasphemy of the Holy Spirit (constant rejection - I think)

On the other hand, the context could be referring to Hebrews 10:26, on 'willful' sin. A clearer picture is in verse 26-39. Those who obey God's word have no reason to 'shrink back' like those who willfully sin against Him.

 

[shipwrecksoul]

1Pe 1:18-19 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

One can do nothing except believe God provided a sacrifice, His Son Jesus, for redemption, thus one being born again.
One cant maintain his salvation by his efforts because it was Jesus's blood who redeemed us, his life and death and resurrection does this.

One who is born again can listen to the Holy Spirit leading!

One can choose not to believe God for his or her salvation in the first place. The sin of unbelief, blasphemy.

Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost is regarded by some as a continued and obstinate rejection of the gospel, and hence is an unpardonable sin, simply because as long as a sinner remains in unbelief he voluntarily excludes himself from pardon. Others regard the expression as designating the sin of attributing to the power of Satan those miracles which Christ performed, or generally those works which are the result of the Spirit's agency.

There are 7 abominations,can these be in the same put in the same file as sins?As you now 92 all sins can be forgiven save one,I do not judge others in how they wish to look at,or not look at what is sin to them.Personally in my humble opnion, these 7 are so bad to the Lord because,once done,they are so hard to stop doing!! How many do you know that have no trouble lying? It becomes a part of there everyday life,they are so used to it,why they do not know how NOT to lie!! See the point? same with the other 6 here,Proverbs 6:16-19 short and sweet and to the point.I know many believe that sin is sin,that that are no degrees to it. I would say,that all sin is forgivien,BUT!! To continue this practice does not go unseen or unpunished!! I can tell you this from personal expercience. Like you are driving a friend to the bank, he tells you please wait in the car i will be right back,he comes out with a large bag in his hand, and tells you ok, we can go home,on the way home the police stop you,and say get out of the car!! You do so,and find your friend has robbed a bank,YOU say HEY!! I really am sorry!! I did not know! I say this because I have found out what is just a bad of a sin as doing it yourself!! hanging around those who practice such sins!! Can one get only as little dirty playing in the mud? I will let you judge this for yourself.Salvation is becoming a NEW creature,not thinking our mask of life, we wear to others will go unseen by God. Jeremiah 17:10 says I the Lord search the heart,I TEST the mind,EVEN to GIVE to EACH MAN!! according to his ways! It is something to consider for us all daily,hence we we examine ourselves daily! 2 cor 13:5 to make sure we never are fooling ourselfs!! blessing to you.

If you have you called upon the name of the Lord and "Born Again", you are saved.

Jesus said that you must be born of the Spirit. He said that a Christian has two births, one of his natural Mother and Father and one is of the Holy Spirit. They are both births and assuming that the second is like the first , there is no such thing as being unborn.

Through Gods New Covenant promise, when you are "Born the second time or "Born Again", God indwells His Holy Spirit or Jesus Christ inside you, and God said that he would never leave or forsake you for any reason.

This is the season of giving, lift up your eyes toward heaven and praise God for this free gift of eternal life through his son Jesus Christ, "For those who are in Jesus Christ, there is no condemnation".

So, be of good cheer, there is no mortal sin, except for Apostasy or rejection of God's gift of the Holy Spirit!

I try my best not to sin, but we all do.
Thanks again everyone! God bless you all.

I don't understand?

Its a humorous reference to the old Catholic Church doctrine categorizing sins as Mortal (really, really bad) or Venial (not so bad).

Thanks ed, yes an humorous reference. Sorry Ilovejesus92 for not getting back sooner. Merry Christmas all!

 

[IloveJesus92]

Haha, oh I see. I don't know much about Catholicism.
Thanks everyone.
Merry Christmas to you, yoo!

For the wages of sin is death,

All sins are equally mortal. Thankfully...

but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

We have justification through Christ alone. He is our present Advocate.

Mortal yes but only one is unpardonable and therefore the only sin that can not be forgiven or justified and therefore the only one that ultimately mortal for the non-believer!

 

[rojoloco]

The unpardonable sin is not actually a sin at all though. As unbelievers, we all rejected God in some way. Some more so than others. I personally know people who fir the "blaspheming the Holy Spirit" description perfectly but are now living examples of what Christ can do in your life. If one truly repents, there is no sin that can keep that person bound. The unpardonable sin is not a sin but rather, a state of hopelessness where one has seen all he can see and heard all he can hear yet still rejects and even attributes the power of the Spirit to Satan. For this person, it is hopeless that they will ever see the Light for what it is.

That being said, for the unbeliever all sins are mortal. For the believer, all sins have been defeated by the propitiation of Christ which makes us clean.
