But each person is tempted when he is drawn away and enticed by his own evil desires. Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death. (James 1:14-15)

I think this is all that needs to be said. All sin has the same final consequence so what does it matter which is most egregious?

Are there different degrees of sin, or does God's justice require the fibber to receive the same punishment as the serial killer? What do you think and why?

For me, I believe that there are different degrees, but I don't know exactly why I believe so, particularly when Matthew 5 and James 2 come up. What do you think?
