I saw your comment about the word "evil" and how you are using it after I wrote my reply to you. That all sins are equally evil is not something I believe.

- joering2 14y agothat's OK; we all choose what we want to believe in. I go in accordance to the Bible's word. You don't have to.
- bmelton 14y agoAgreed. If all evils are equal, then he should be rallying for the hangman's death of every jay-walker, traffic speeder or panhandler. By his argument, almost everybody in the world could die, and he'd be a-okay. I believe he is overstating his opinion. Further, Hitler DID do a lot of good things in his lifetime, they are just typically outweighed by the massive amounts of evil he did later. If he's unable to see that even bad people can do good things, good people can do bad things, and that most people are just 'somewhere' in the middle (hopefully) trying to do more good things than bad, then I believe it is he who doesn't understand the notion of 'shades of gray'.
- grannyg00se 14y agoThat's the first I've heard that "the Bible" states that all sins are equally evil. Which bible's word are you following? Depending on other possible statements, it seems very likely that you would end up in a position where the punishment for killing someone would have to be the same as the punishment for stealing a candy bar.
- noahc 14y agoOne way of viewing the bible is descriptive rather than prescriptive on this issue. For example, the bible says that all sin is equal, but not how to judge or punish that sin. That makes sense in the context of there only being one Judge.
