I am not trolling. I am looking to see what Christians believe about what I am about to bring up. This is not me attacking Christianity or arguing God's existence. Just curiosity.
What I am about to list are a few of the seven deadly sins that can be damning to the person that commits them. The ones listed are sins that could be argued to be committed by God himself. I am looking for any Christian's view on the subject.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wrath (Latin, ira), also known as anger or "rage", may be described as inordinate and uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger. Anger, in its purest form, presents with self-destructiveness, violence, and hate that may provoke feuds that can go on for centuries. Anger may persist long after the person who did another a grievous wrong is dead. Feelings of anger can manifest in different ways, including impatience, revenge, and vigilantism.
We have all heard of God's wrath. The Bible has told about it in the story of Noah's flood and also in the Ten Plagues of Egypt. Even today God's wrath is threatened by eternity in Hell.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like greed, Envy (Latin, invidia) may be characterized by an insatiable desire.
To understand how God could be linked to Envy we must look at a passage from the Bible.
“You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God” (Exodus 20:4-5).
As stated there, God describes himself as a jealous (envious) being.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In almost every list Pride (Latin, superbia), or hubris, is considered the original and most serious of the seven deadly sins, and the source of the others. It is identified as a desire to be more important or attractive than others, failing to acknowledge the good work of others, and excessive love of self (especially holding self out of proper position toward God).
In the Old Testament, God required blood sacrifices to himself, and today prayer is required of devout Christians.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Again, I am not looking to attack Christians or Christianity. I am simply looking to see what Christians think on the topic, and gain insight as to what Christians believe.
888 I understand that Christianity was not around in the Old Testament. I am saying if you take the Seven Deadly Sins and apply them in retrospect.
Bara Bara, this brings along almost the same conundrum that comes with "Can God make a rock so big he can't lift it." But is sinning going against God's will is something else that could brought up. If he isn't omniscient and omnipotent it would solve the rock problem, as well as the one I have brought up.
