"All Sin Is The Same" - Refuted!

All Sin Is The Same. Refuted

Little Known Scriptures About Degrees Of Sin 

To say sin is sin is to be Biblically misinformed! All sin is NOT the same, according to Scripture. Nowhere does the Bible teach sin is sin, including James 2:10. It is amazing how many people are unable (or unwilling) to see the truth of a Scriptural passage after they have accepted a faulty understanding of it. Let me illustrate from the natural before being specific about disproving sin is sin. Consider the statement below. If someone wrote the following, what would it mean?

To become a traffic law breaker you don’t have to speed at 120 miles an hour in a 40 mile per hour zone. All you have to do is run a stop sign.

From that statement could you properly deduce that all violations of the traffic law code are of the same severity? Never. All those two sentences say is that there is more than one way to break the traffic laws.

Sin Is Sin is NOT Taught In James 2:10

Now focus in upon the James 2:10,11 passage. Here is how it reads:

For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.

Eternal security proponents (and followers of Charles Finney) have been wrongly taught that James 2:10,11 teach that sin is sin, based on that single passage, and few advocates seem able to read and receive what that passage actually says! The truth is, all James 2:10,11 says is, if you commit murder you have become a lawbreaker. One doesn’t have to commit adultery. Moreover, to violate any point of the law is to become guilty of breaking all of it. There is nothing in that passage that states that sin is sinand that they are of the same degree. If there was, that would be a contradiction in the Bible, especially in light of the following truths which declare there are different degrees of sin, that is, all sins are not the same in their effect on our souls:

The Sin Unto Death is Spiritual Death!

Irrefutable Evidence Refuting Sin Is Sin

Some sins are greater than others (Jn. 19:11). One type is eternal and unforgivable (Mk. 3:29), while all others are not. Another type of sin is uniquely against our bodies, while other sins are outside our bodies (1 Cor. 6:18). 1 Jn. 5:16,17 declares there is a sin that does not lead to death while there is a sin that leads to death. Sins such as worry (Phil. 4:6), unthankfulness (Col. 2:7, 3:15; Lk. 17:11-18) and not being completely humble and gentle (Eph. 4:2) are not included in any of the lists of sins that will send people to the lake of fire, even if they were once saved. However, other sins certainly will send any person to hell if they die in an unrepentant condition—even a person who was once saved. (See 1 Cor. 6:9,10; Rev. 21:8; Gal. 5:19-21; Eph. 5:5,6; Jude 7; Rev. 22:15; etc.).

QUESTION: How could the sin is sin teaching be true since there is one type of blasphemy which is unforgivable, while all other types of blasphemy are forgivable:

I tell you the truth, all the sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them. But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin." (Mark 3:28,29)

NO Sin Is Sin Taught In The OT Either

Read Ezekiel 8 carefully. In Ezekiel 8, you will read of detestable things, then more detestable things, then more detestable things than those. All sins are not of the same degree. In other words, just like some commands are greater than others (Mt. 22:36-39), some sins are greater than others.

Folks, read and believe what the Bible says without trying to make it fit into the once saved always saved theology you were taught. The churches, radio stations and TVchannels, etc. are filled with false teachers. Go by the Bible for your teachings (2 Tim. 3:16,17). If you do you will conclude all sin is not of the same degree, that is, the sin is sin doctrine is a terrible lie and must be rejected.
