Iniquity and sins - what is their difference?

25 January 2024 2:13

In preparation for confession, I try to understand what sin is, and what is the fundamental difference between lawlessness and sins.

Lawlessness is a confrontation between the will of God or the Creator himself, a gross conscious violation of His laws and perseverance with obvious arguments. The most striking example of lawlessness is the uprising of angels in paradise. Also, lawlessness is the ingratitude, contradictions and various ranges, quarrels, untruth and vain thoughts.https://azbyka.ru/bezzakonie. God does not want the death of the wicked, but wants to bring him to his senses.

Sins - deviation from the right path, any strong passion, which defeats the will of a person. Sin can manifest itself both in action and in inaction, leads to evil. Evil is that which harms the subject - to a person or his neighbor, or nature. With his sins, a Christian must conduct a constant struggle.

Household sins : foul language, jealousy, insult, fights, treason, censure, empty conversations, carelessness, negligence, entertainment for yourself, selfishness, condemnation, slander, laziness, etc.

Mortal sins : their 7: pride, greed, lust, anger, envy, gluttony and laziness, lead to the death of the soul. Gordyna - after suicide, it is considered the most terrible sin, because It is a damage to the mind: narcissism, vanity and extreme egoism, resourcefulness and deceit. Pride is often connected in the invention of ways to “circumvent” obstacles, duplicity and involvement in their activities of other people, a utilitarian approach to people (as a thing), ignoring their requests and problems, callousness and heartlessness, ingratitude, i.e. With the Office of Kindness and Love_. A terrible sin is [Mark] Lie [/Mark] - because Antichrist is the father of a lie (a serpent in paradise in the book "Genesis" 2: 1-5 Old Testament), the commission of lies is likening an antichrist that seduces a person.

"Evens of sins" - call on the sinner of God Kara. That is, punishment during life or after death.

  1. Suicide, murder, abortion, detonation, fratricide, edemature and maternity abuse,
  2. Sexual immorality and perversion,
  3. disrespect or insult to parents,
  4. the oppression of orphans and widows, the abandonment of a helpless person in danger,
  5. Refusal to pay wages to a hired employee, the poor thing from the poor piece of bread from the poor.

    Sin does not say goodbye - hula on the Holy Spirit, i.e. Bleaning, mockery, mockery of God, refusal to accept salvation.

The Epistle of the Apostle Paul's message to the Romans shows the path along which the lawlessness of people develops:
1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Message to the Romans 1:25 - Rome 1:25:https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%201:18-32&version=KJV

Feofan recluse (1815−1894):
Translated into modern Russian: _ "This is not my commandment; but such the will of God, such is the law of providence ✨ about us the actions of God. God itself takes the work of revenge. Do not interfere in this matter, says, as if he, I will give it up, you will not be able to do it as it should. Time, or at all, can do without revenge: the offender himself will come to life and correct his lie;
