The 7 Deadly Sins....

[dignitized]

suzie: but what you are failing to realize in the example is - you never do realize where the pen came from so you don't return it. ANYHOW - it's only one example. I'm sure if we think about it we could come up with many other examples of unintentional sins.

 

[suzie]

Well, no I cant because I believe Scripture tells us that sin is rebellion and willful disobedience to God.

Leviticus 4
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them:

Leviticus 4


The Sin Offering


Leviticus 4:2
"Say to the Israelites: 'When anyone sins unintentionally and does what is forbidden in any of the LORD's commands-

Leviticus 4:13
" 'If the whole Israelite community sins unintentionally and does what is forbidden in any of the LORD's commands, even though the community is unaware of the matter, they are guilty.

Leviticus 4:22
" 'When a leader sins unintentionally and does what is forbidden in any of the commands of the LORD his God, he is guilty.

Leviticus 4:27
" 'If a member of the community sins unintentionally and does what is forbidden in any of the LORD's commands, he is guilty.

Leviticus 5:15
"When a person commits a violation and sins unintentionally in regard to any of the LORD's holy things, he is to bring to the LORD as a penalty a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value in silver, according to the sanctuary shekel. [ 5:15 That is, about 2/5 ounce (about 11.5 grams) ] It is a guilt offering.

Numbers 15:22
" 'Now if you unintentionally fail to keep any of these commands the LORD gave Moses-

Numbers 15:24
and if this is done unintentionally without the community being aware of it, then the whole community is to offer a young bull for a burnt offering as an aroma pleasing to the LORD , along with its prescribed grain offering and drink offering, and a male goat for a sin offering.

Numbers 15:27
" 'But if just one person sins unintentionally, he must bring a year-old female goat for a sin offering.

Numbers 15:28
The priest is to make atonement before the LORD for the one who erred by sinning unintentionally, and when atonement has been made for him, he will be forgiven.

Numbers 15:29
One and the same law applies to everyone who sins unintentionally, whether he is a native-born Israelite or an alien.

Ezekiel 45:20
You are to do the same on the seventh day of the month for anyone who sins unintentionally or through ignorance; so you are to make atonement for the temple.

You're right. Scripture says nothing about unintentional sins

 

[Caedmon]

"The 'seven deadly sins' are pride, greed, lust, anger, gluttony, envy and sloth."

--Medieval Theologians​

. . .​

I wonder why THEY are listed and not others, like murder?​

Your thoughts? ​

​

In the case of St. David, envy and lust led to murder.​

with Judas Iscariot it was - Pride and envy.
