Are venial sins just as serious as mortal sins?

Mortal sins are more serious than venial sins, and they have more serious consequences: With mortal sin, the life of grace is lost and the sinner is in danger of hell. With venial sin, the life of grace is weakened but not lost. Even so, venial sins should not be taken lightly, since habitual venial sins can harden one to commit mortal sin.


What is Venial sin and Mortal sin?

A venial is a slight offense against God while a mortal sin is a great offense. A venial sin is like a spiritual misdemeanor while a mortal sin is like a spiritual felony. Things like telling lies to get out of trouble, stealing something that is not of great value, or profanity are examples of venial sins. Murder (including abortion), stealing something of great value, and not going to Church on Sunday (which violates the Third Commandment) are examples of mortal sins. Mortal sins are so serious that they drive sanctifying grace from the soul. If you die without having been forgiven for a mortal sin, you will go to hell. Venial sins only lessen grace. No amount of venial sin is enough to send someone to hell. If you die without having been forgiven for venial sins, you will have to spend time in purgatory to have them forgiven. Really though, God looks at all sin the same. Read Rev. 21:8. Also, one scripture says why should we keep on sinning, is it so that grace may increase. If you don't repent from any kind of sin you will go to hell. If God sees the effort, you are fine because he understands nobody is perfect and we all mess up.

What is a sin for Catholics?

Catholics view sin as an act that God finds offensive. Catholics believe there are two types of sin, venial and mortal. Whereas a mortal sin takes a person out of God's graces, a venial sin does not. Catholics believe that all sins can be forgiven by God; no sin is too big for God to forgive.

What are the 3 types of sin?

In Catholicism, a sin may be categorized as either mortal or venial. A mortal sin is one that is grave in nature and committed knowingly and deliberately and thus in defiance of God's will. A venial sin lacks the gravity of a mortal sin, results from ignorance of God's law, or is not performed volitionally. Either type of sin may be subcategorized as an act or omission. Further, the disobedience of Adam and Eve in the garden is classified as original sin and the guilt thereof is inherited by all of humanity. Original sin, therefore, precedes the above categorizations and can be distinguished from them.
