![]() ![]() Thankfully, God has provided a way for us to be forgiven of all sins, not just the 7 deadly ones, through the unselfish sacrifice of Christ (Romans 5:8). The book of Galatians records (as well as many other books) that all mankind, from the greatest to the least, sins in far more ways than just 7! The book of Romans further specifies that those who do so must pay with their lives (Galatians 3:22, Romans 6:23)! Edgar Allan Poe’s The Masque of the Red Death should be studied at many levels: (1) the literal level - the literal level is a study of the events that actually take place in the story (2) an allegorical level - an allegory is a story in which the objects, characters, and events are symbolic of something grander in scale. The one who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him (1John 2:3 - 4). The Bible refers to knowingly and willfully rebelling against God's way as the unpardonable sin, which, given its penalty, can certainly be considered deadly! The apostle John reveals the standard by which we can know whether or not we are sinning before God.Īnd by this standard we know that we know Him: if we keep His commandments. Ultimately, the Bible teaches that sin, which it defines as the transgression of any of the laws of God, if unrepented of will bring the penalty of eternal death. The second list of sins, found in Galatians 5:19 - 21, states that those who practice fornication, idolatry, sorcery, spreading dissensions and heresies, contentious behavior and still others will not be in God's kingdom! The first list is found in 1Corinthians 6:9 - 10 where the apostle Paul states that adulterers, thieves, drunkards, extortioners, the covetous and so on will not receive eternal life. The New Testament has at least two lists that delineate several, but not exactly 7, major sins. The only thing clearly in common, however, between the list of what God hates recorded in Proverbs and what Catholic's believe are the seven deadly sins is the attitude of pride. He also hates those who bear false testimony against another person and those who seek to pull people apart through sowing seeds of contention (Proverbs 6:16 - 19). He does not like those full of pride, a liar, a murderer of those who are innocent, a person who devises ways to do evil and those who are eager to do wrong. I love the psycho (human who went crazy after the outbreak) boss battles in Dead Rising and in the third one they had the cool theme of seven deadly sins wit. ![]() Solomon writes that God especially hates 7 things. The nearest thing in the Old Testament to a list of 7 sins considered deadly is in the sixth chapter of the book of Proverbs. ![]()
