It is not uncommon to hear Christians suggesting that every sin is
equal in God’s sight. Perhaps you have heard someone say something such
as, “sin is sin – whether you hate someone or murder someone, it is both
just the same to God.” Perhaps you have even said this sort of thing
yourself. This popular idea is based on a misunderstanding of the
passage in the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus said:
“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall
not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ But I say
to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to
judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and
whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire…. “You
have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say
to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has
already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye
causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that
you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into
hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it
away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your
whole body go into hell.” – Matthew 5:21, 22, 27-30 ESV
Dr. R. C. Sproul in his book “The Holiness of God” explains why the
concept that all sins are equal in God’s sight, is actually incorrect.

The word of God is exact. The woman of Rev 12 is now here. The woman is not a church, nor Mary, nor Israel, she is the prophet like unto Moses and Elijah Matt 17:3, Acts 3:21-23, Luke 1:17 delivering the true word John 1:1 from the wilderness to prepare a people for the Lord’s return. God our Father will not put any child of his into a hell fire no matter what their sins. It never entered the heart or mind of God to ever do such a thing Jer7:31, Jer 19:5. Turn your heart to the children of God. A gift is now delivered to the whole world as a witness Matt 24:14. http://minigoodtale.wordpress.com Prove all things.
