Are there different weights to sin? I mean does God see some sin not as bad as other sins, or is all sin the same no matter what we do as a result of sin. Example: Is the sin of killing someone any different than if a person went out and lied? (This is in God's eyes.) I think that God considers these both as sin and it wouldn't make any difference how big or small it is because it is still sinning against God. I want to know where it talks about this in the bible if I'm right or even if I'm wrong

Great question! Although it may seem that one sin is much "greater" than another, God doesn't really see it that way. In God's mind, sin is sin. One sin is not greater than another. All sin separates us from a holy God and needs to be confessed for forgiveness. Now some sin may have greater consequences involved in it. Lying can destroy a relationship. Murdering someone can destroy your very life. The earthly consequences may vary, but in God's ultimate plan, all sin is just that... sin! Check out the following passages and see what you find! Romans 1:28-32 (especially where it mentions being disobedient to your parents and being the same as all the other "sins") Romans 3:23 Romans 6:23 Hope that helps! God bless!
