Nowhere in the Bible, however, do we find God distinguishing between levels of sin. God doesn't share our rating system. To him, all sin is equally evil, and all sinners are equally lovable.

About This Quote

"Nowhere in the Bible, however, do we find God distinguishing between levels of sin," a reader writes. "God doesn't share our rating system. To him, all sin is equally evil, and all sinners are equally lovable." The idea that God doesn't distinguish among sins is a common misconception about Christianity, and it can lead to a false sense of confidence in the Christian's ability to overcome sin. In other words, this belief can make it seem as if God has given us an excuse to commit sin, when in fact he has not. In the book "The Myth of God's Perfection," atheist Richard Dawkins states, "The Christian doctrine that there is no difference between degrees of sinfulness is a cop-out."
