Do you believe that one sin is greater than the next? In your eyes does a thief deserve the same punishment as a murderer? A lot of people are quick to talk about the sin of homosexuality, but gluttony is a sin too. Should overweight people be out casted the same way that gays are.
I'm being completely serious.
What are your thoughts?

What are your thoughts? I think, no, I believe that theft is a much lesser sin than murder. A theft may take items, but murder took a life; therefore, in my opinion, murder should carry a much harsher sentence. Now, as for any other sin being worse than another, NO! no one is worse than the other. All of us are guilty of something somehow but I have a real problem with homosexuals being singled out like they are so bad. Their lifestyle is not what GOD intended but what about us single people who have boyfriends, "friends with benefits," children out of wedlock, etc? What about the married people who are living a lie? Someone who is committing adultery? Someone who is arrogant and self-serving? I could go on and on.

Well said and I agree with you. Some other lesser acknowledged sins are envy, anger, and lust so I guess that includes just about everyone.

Sin is sin, and the cure is jesus, in accepting Him you accept HIS righteousness, our righteousness is like filthy rags! No not ONE is righteous BUT Jesus!

Now, I do believe that all sins according to the bible are sins, but, theft is a lesser crime than murder so murder should carry a harsher punishment. I don't have much to say on homosexuality because we all have sinned in one way or another and them being the way they are doesn't make their sin any more harsher. I have many friends like that and they are beautiful people. Overweight people shouldn't be cast out either because many of them are dealing with self esteem issues and some issues that no one knows about. I just believe that we all need to strive for perfection and to not set out and intentionally sin and if we do sin we must confess and ask for forgiveness. Who are we to judge?

I wish we can say for everyone that age brings wisdom Blaque but it is what's inside because we never know why someone does something until we hear both sides to a story. Human beings are just to quick to judge each other if you see something wrong please don't condemn, educate yourself and ask "WHY?".
