I don't call it sin but I find the most repulsive thing child molestation or pedophilia. Whatever you want to call it: sin, crime, evil whatever it just sickens me and turns my stomach. I can't even watch TV shows where they show these sick monsters because I feel such intense hatred for them. If there is any time in my life I wanted there to be a heaven or hell it would be for those people when they died to rot in hell.

I agree with this. Most other sins only affect the sinner. This sin destroys the innocence of a child.

I agree with this 100% Troop, and it makes me shake with anger and try as I might I cannot hate the sin and love that sinner. He is not a human in my opinion, he stopped being human the first time he lusted after a child..

The worst sin for the sinner is the sin of unbelief, because there is no chance of forgiveness without belief.

The "natural man" in me see's justice as the best way to treat sin (the wrong way), so I defer to scriptures:

The Mat 18:6
“But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believes in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a huge millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the open sea.

In the eyes of the Lord, ALL sins are repulsive AND equal. I think thats the most important thing to remember.... no sin is greater than the next.

I personally think the worst sins... are the sins that are committed yet are never asked to be forgiven because of lack of remorse by the sinner

Add the word "Believers", after the word ALL, and this is a true statement. The Non believer sin has no chance to be aquitted of their sin... so in essence, they are condemed to suffer the consequence of their choice. Believers however........ have been aquitted, therefore all our sin crimes are the same, in the eyes of Christ.

The "act" maybe the same but the results are different. So "worse" is for the non-believer.

If you ever heard of a "mill right" they are persons that makes large machines/items "right" as in balanced, level, straight, etc.
Mill stones are traditionally found where flour is made. There are two stones, a stationary stone, and a movable stone. In the Middle East they also use the stones as a press for olive oil.

Since we are all sinners, then that seems to mean that you think that everything we do is repulsive to God. Does that include sitting at a computer when we could be out doing good deeds for others?
