Discussion: Is all sin the same?

In preparation for this discussion, make sure you have watched the video and read the assigned reading in the textbook. In this material, Dr. Bounds suggests that the Bible does not teach that all sin in the life of a believer is equal in weight or severity. Rather, the degree of one’s “intentionality” is key. How intense was a person’s deviation from God’s will, for example? How intensely did a person harm their relationship with God?

Engage this concept in an initial post of at least 300 words. Do you struggle with this concept? Do you need clarity on what it means? Be frank about your thoughts and/or reservations.

After making your initial post, please read through your classmates’ responses and make at least three follow-up comments on a different day than your original post. Your response should contribute meaningfully to the discussion. You might ask questions for further insight or clarification. You might provide additional examples or perspectives or challenge ideas respectfully. Each follow-up comment should be at least 100 words. This discussion is worth 40 points.
