All Sin Is Not The Same
All Sin Is Not The Same
S. Ezekiel 16:51-52
“Even Samaria did not commit half of your sins. You have done far more detestable things than your sisters ever did. They seem righteous compared to you. Shame on you! Your sins are so terrible that you make your sisters seem righteous, even virtuous.”
God views sin in different levels of detestability and severity. He said the sins Israel had committed were far more detestable than other sins. He said Samaria was not as sinful as Israel. He compared others sins to others. He notes that some people are more sinful than others.
We have grown up hearing God sees all sin as the same, but with different levels of consequence. I dont think thats a true statement of belief. Many times in the prophets and OT and NT God points out that some are sinning more than others and some are acting more righteously than others. And some are are committing more heinous sins than others. There are levels to sin. All sin is not the same, but all still sin.
