| | Sin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Sin has been a term most usually used in a religious context, and today describes any lack of conformity to the will of God; especially, any willful disregard for the norms revealed by God is a sin. | | | Atonement for sins is discussed in the Hebrew Bible, known to Christians as the Old Testament. | | | Note that Judaism's views on sin and atonement are not identical to those in the Hebrew Bible alone, but rather are based on the laws of the Bible as seen through the Jewish oral law. |

| | What is a Mortal Sin? |
| | With this definition in hand, it seems what the Catholic Church calls a mortal sin is similar to what scripture calls "iniquity"a willful, informed transgression of the commandments of God. | | | So, to try and understand what a mortal sin is, we turn to the oldest church in the worldthe Roman Catholic Church. | | | The list of mortal sins, according to the Catholic Church, mostly has to do with church law. |

| | Reply to Objection 2: If the ignorance be such as to excuse sin altogether, as the ignorance of a madman or an imbecile, then he that commits fornication in a state of such ignorance, commits no sin either mortal or venial. | | | Hence it belongs to the genus of some sins, which are of themselves contrary to charity, that something is loved more than God; so that they are mortal by reason of their genus. | | | Now venial sin excludes only actual reference of the human act to God's glory, and not habitual reference: because it does not exclude charity, which refers man to God habitually. |

| | I'm Glad You Asked - Sin |
| | All mortal sins require the sacramental presence of God in our lives to be restored. | | | Sins against the Holy Spirit are the most grave because they reject the dignity of the One sent by the Father to sanctify us and restore us to full union with Him. | | | In the case of venial sins, blessing oneself with holy water is not sufficient to remove the stain of the sin and receive the Eucharist, but it is a start. |

| | Venial and mortal sin |
| | This sin is called mortal because it deprives of spiritual life and brings everlasting death and damnation on the soul. | | | Murder is definitely a mortal sin; being angry and calling someone a fool during a brawl would probably be classified "venial" by many Catholics. | | | Venial sin weakens the individual but it does not deprive him of spiritual life. |
