You as a human being understand that killing somebody is more of a sin then stealing $5 from their wallet. So could you ever assume that God sees all sin as being equal? Show God clearly states in more then one instance, that He will repay the people according to what they have done.
God is perfect, God is just, therefore God is a perfect judge that will repay all people exactly according to what they have done. Yes all sin is equal in our relationship with God, because not a single sin that you have done has ever affected God.
As @dancek pointed out, there are also references in the bible that suggest that not all sin is equal.
No, not all sin is equal in God's eyesThis is a cop-out. This premise suggests that God is not perfect and that you don't have to worry about your sin because it's all the same to God. Instead, God clearly states again and again that He will judge you accordingly.
And more! Revelation 20:12, Ezekiel 36:19, Ezekiel 33:20, Ezekiel 24:14, Psalm 7:8. If all sin was equal in God's eyes, then God would surely pass down the same judgement to all people, regardless of their iniquity. But as it is said, God will judge the people according to what they had done. @Richard, Yes a single sin makes you unrighteous and a single sin will submit you to the subjection of God's judgement, but that does not mean that all sin is equal. Fact: Homosexuality has always been regarded as shameful among Africans, which is why the Portuguese came across the expelled community group of homosexuals living near the ocean.In Zimbabwe there is no tribe called Mazoe, there is only a place/town/area with that name.As for the Tonga, not Thonga, they have never encouraged homosexuality; check this with the Zimbabwean Embassy or the University of Zimbabwe.Traditional and not native languages have words that describe homosexuals much in the same way we have words to describe, witches, demons, thieves, robbers, rapist, murderers and even liars, this does not mean we view them as productive members of society, it means we acknowledge their existence in our societies and we continue to treat them accordingly as did our forefathers.To use San paintings to justify homosexuality gave me stomach cramps from laughing.Come on, are you so desperate to be accepted you would stoop so low? Show me a San painting that depicts a homosexual relationship and I will show you a group of misguided individuals.As for the Ovambo and Herero traditions, you will hear from the scholars very soon in detail.In conclusion, do not use the bible or the African point of view to justify your existence.It is better to just say who you are and leave it at that.Do not feed this gross misinformation to our nation because sooner, rather than later, you will have the same reaction and treatment your colleagues got in Zimbabwe when they tried to go public and challenge the nation, double check with your Zimbabwe colleagues on this one before its too late.I will leave you with the words of one very wise man in our nation when he had to address this very issue of homosexuals, President Sam Nuyoma, Do your things in private, behind your closed doors and in your bedrooms, and do not involve the nation and we will leave you alone.May GOD reveal HIMSELF to you in all HIS glory.Z. SibindiDoes the Bible say all sin is equal?All Sin is not the Same
In fact, the Book of Proverbs (6:16-19) identifies seven things that God hates although there is not any punishment proscribed for those. Scripture clearly indicates that God does view sin differently and that He proscribed a different punishment for sin depending upon its severity.
What verse in the Bible says you have no sin?[8] If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. [9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. [10] If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Where does it say all sin is equal?Where the Phrase “All Sins are Equal in the Eyes of God” Comes From. As far as I can tell, the most common argument for the belief that all sins are created equal comes from James 2:10. It states: “For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.”
What is the meaning of Matthew 7 1?In this verse Jesus warns that one who condemns others will themselves be condemned. The rest of the Bible, including the very next verse, make clear that all manner of judgment is not being condemned.
