Thank you, Terry. You and I are on the same page with this topic. For me, I've used the Mosaic Law to show how some intentional sins requires a quick death penalty while others do not. I do agree that any sin we commit keeps us out of the Kingdom. I also agree that without a belief in the atonement prepared by Messiah, we have no assurance of our entrance into this Kingdom.   -- slade -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Terry Clifton Sent: Thursday, 08 July, 2004 20:24 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: PROBABLE SPAM> Re: [TruthTalk] Interesting Article Slade Henson wrote: JONATHAN HUGHES SAYS: "John, a man who commits adultery (even 60 times which of course in Clinton’s case is hogwash) can still be a Christian.  It is no worse a sin than your own hypocrisy."   I hear that sin is sin and no sin is greater than another. Jonathan seems to be using this concept here in this post. Can anyone give me Scriptural evidence for this belief?   -- slade ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Greetings Slade.  As I am sure you know, one unforgiven sin will send the sinner to Hell for all eternity, be it idolatry or stealing a paper clip.  That confuses some people into thinking that all sins are equal.  The Biblical truth is that some sins are greater than others. (Matt.23:14, Mark 12:38-40, Luke 20:46-47, James 3:1.  Just as there is greater faith, greater rewards, and greater works, there are degrees of sin, from unintentional sins on one end of the scale, to abominations on the other.  There is no scriptural evidence for any other opinion that I am able to discern.  Terry
