Summary of text [comment] pages 25, 26 & 27<\/p>\n
Section 5 of chapter 1 is titled, \u201cSin Unto Death \u2013 Mortal Sin \u2013 Venial Sin\u201d.<\/p>\n
What are consequences of sin?\u00a0 In the Old Testament, heinous sins entail a break with God, life and His people.\u00a0 In the New Testament, particularly bad sins can lead to excommunication, the equivalent to all the above.<\/p>\n
What sins fit the bill?<\/p>\n
Incest is obviously one (1 Cor. 5:11-18).\u00a0 \u00a0The OT has its lists, including sins against one\u2019s neighbors.\u00a0 The NT has its lists, including the continuation of pagan practices.<\/p>\n
All these lists may be taken to be warnings.\u00a0 They are signposts of danger.\u00a0 Even though the community may not impose punishments, God sees all.\u00a0 There are punishments far more deadly than being cast out or excommunicated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
