7 Mortal Sins of the Church of Rome – False Security

Deutsch

The 7 mortal sins and so-called venial sins defined by the Church of Rome merely serve to lull people into a constant false sense of security, although they are actually heading straight for the abyss due to the sin they are constantly cultivating against God.

7 (Catholic) Deadly Sins

One way to manifest independent and, even when associated with the Gospel, misleading doctrine is to detail it and tinker with justifications. In the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, a distinction is made between “mortal sins” and “venial sins.” A distinction that is not shown in the Gospel in the way that it is represented by the Roman Church.

The Roman Catholic Church defined its “7 deadly sins” according to pride, envy, anger, greed, sloth (or melancholy), gluttony, and lust.

A “venial sin” (peccatum veniale) is a “forgivable sin”. With such an act, the “love in the heart” of the person remains, whereas with a “mortal sin” (peccatum mortiferum) this love is extinguished. With a venial sin, one remains in the grace of God, but the person’s guilt must be “burned away” in purgatory. With a mortal sin, the person has forfeited the grace of God. In this case, the only thing that helps is the person’s absolute repentance in order to receive the “baptismal grace” again. The priest achieves this during confession by forgiving(!) and granting absolution. According to the Church of Rome, the priest acted as “persona Christi”, i.e. in the person of Christ.

The denial of Jesus Christ

Not only are the actual laws of God ignored and re-orientated in the definition of mortal and venial sins, but the full extent of the denial of Jesus Christ and his obtaining of forgiveness of sin through the shedding of his blood is also made clear. Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ alone, has purchased the right to be able to grant grace through his unique and permanently valid sacrifice.

Hebrews 7:27:
“Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.”

Hebrews 10:10:
“By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.“

The sacrificial system of the Roman Church, the Eucharist (Info), and the priesthood that goes with this institution, are a complete denial of the way of salvation for man through Jesus Christ. An unprecedented presumption on the part of the Church of the Papacy (Info).

The difference to the gospel

The same applies to the misleading of people by redefining what sin is and how it has the corresponding effects. How is sin defined in the gospel? 1 John 3:4:
“Everyone who commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.”

Lawlessness is therefore the disregard of God’s law, i.e. the 10 commandments. Even the (constant) violation of one of these 10 commandments has serious consequences.
1. Sin leads to death (Romans 6:23)
2. The violation of one of the 10 commandments is the violation of the entire law (James 2:10).

Where are the (actual) 10 Commandments? In Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5 (Info). The whole principle of the justification of man by Jesus Christ on the basis of faith is rejected by the Roman Catholic Church as a whole (Info).

The Gospel certainly describes a distinction, as in 1 John 5:16-17:
“If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.“

The “perfect” seduction

It is obvious. The violation of one of the 10 commandments of God leads to death. The Roman Catholic Church has simply made the second commandment, the prohibition of images and their veneration and worship, disappear. For an understandable reason, because this ultimately completely excludes the whole host of figures, images and statues before which one prostrates oneself and even kisses their feet.

It is therefore only right and proper to define (new) 7 deadly sins, although the 10 commandments of God, the violation of which leads to death, speak of 10 deadly sins in this sense. This is ultimately where the trap lies. Because the devout Catholic believes himself to be safe when he observes the Roman Catholic 7 deadly sins, but in fact he completely disregards the commandments of God. These are especially the Second Commandment (worship of images) and the Fourth Commandment (observance of the Sabbath – Info).

The decisive factor here is not the occasional (painful) sin, which is recognized as such by the person and regretted, but the constant life in sin.

The orientation towards the 7 deadly sins of the Roman Church leads to the constant adherence to, even to the cultivation of, a sin. Because only God’s laws are decisive and not the definition of the Roman Church. Whether the sinner is aware of this, has ignored the knocking of the Holy Spirit (e.g. bad conscience), or could have known better if he had taken care of the truth himself instead of just following the words of the priest, is irrelevant here. He could actually have known it himself, because the Bible is not exactly one of the literature that is very difficult to access.
