What is the greatest sin?

um.. i have to disagree with you all. I think there are different levals of sin. Murder is worse than stealing a video game. Yes they're both sins, but one is much greater than the other. Can I get an amen on that? Yes, a sin is a sin, but there are different levals..... I'm not sure what the GREATEST sin is though....there are so many very bad sins

Yes all Sin is Sin and it all hurts God, but I strongly beleive that some Sins hurt God more than others and I think I have Biblical support for this. I wont go into it now but I sincerely disagree with the All Sins are Equal teaching.

However the different levels of Sin doesnt mean that its right to do the smaller sins.

Some believe that it is Pride, that which motivated the Devil and our early parents to overstep the bounds God had established.

Whatever your favorite sin is, that's the greatest sin!

Seriously, there is no point in human beings ranking sins. We don't have the ability to know which ones are worse than others because we can't see all the effects each sin has. Only God can know.

People usually want to rank sins so they can feel like their particular favorite sin isn't so bad compared to all the other bad sins out there.

But really, your personal sina are the only one that matter, because those are the ones that separate you from God, those are the ones you can repent of.

So, don't worry about how your sin ranks with everyone else's. Your sin is bad, so bad that unless you admit you are a sinner who needs a savior, you can't be cleaned of it at all!
