Recommended: Reflection on the Ten Commandments

Living a perfect life is practically impossible. The human race is constantly hounded with do's and don't's. Where did they get such strict regulations for all to follow? From God of course. The Ten Commandments are a list of morals to abide by to be an exceptional person; they are guidelines that help to make good decisions. Although hammered into everyday life, they still manage to be forgotten and or ignored. Breaking a Commandment is one of the many sins that will keep you from entering the Kingdom of Heaven, but breaking a Commandment is not the worst situation that can happen. Asking for forgiveness can give you clean slate once again, but having one of the seven deadly sins engraved into your soul will give you a one-way ticket to Hell if you never change your shameful ways of life. It is said in the book of Proverbs that: "There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers."(The Gideon International Bible Proverbs 6:16-19) More specifically, and in simpler terms, He despises those who are prideful, envious, gluttonous, lustful, wrathful, greedy and slothful. (The Seven Deadly Sins) Sad to say, the majority of people who live here on earth have one or more of these traits. The two most common and obvious sins in our society today are: pride and greed. "Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming." (New International Version Bible Coloss... ... middle of paper ... ...prepare because judgement day is coming. “Fear not,[said Jesus] I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades."(New International Version Bible Revelation 1:17-18) God is not dead, He is surely alive, and is coming to save us all.

    Gluttony, Avarice, Wrath, Lust, Pride, Envy, and Sloth are all commonly known as the “Seven Deadly Sins”. Each of these seven sins plays a major role in development of the different characters. In Geoffrey Chaucer’s “The Canterbury Tales”, the Pardoner committed sins through gluttony and avarice; the Wife of Bath through Pride and Lust; and also the Monk through gluttony and wrath.

  • Bible: The Seven Deadly Sins

    107 Words  | 1 Pages

    The Seven Deadly Sins, is a classification of sins (sometimes referred to as vices), that were used to describe the sources of all sins. The Seven Deadly Sins is a Christian idea and was most widespread in the Catholic Church. These sins are thought to have possibly gotten their origins from two places in the Bible, Proverbs 6:16-19, and Galatians 5:19-21. The first idea for The Seven Deadly Sins was from the writings of the monk, Evagrius Ponticus, who lived in the fourth-century. The Seven Deadly Sins were edited and modeled into their modern form in A.D. 590 by Pope Gregory 1. These sins are as

  • Essay on Chaucer's Canterbury Tales - Sin in The Pardoner's Tale

    774 Words  | 2 Pages

    There are seven deadly sins that, once committed, diminish the prospect of eternal life and happiness in heaven. They are referred to as deadly because each sin is closely linked to another, leading to other greater sins.  The seven deadly sins are pride, envy, anger, sloth, gluttony, avarice, and lechery. Geoffrey Chaucer's masterpiece, The Canterbury Tales, provided an excellent story about the deadly sins. Focusing mainly on the sins of pride, gluttony and greed, the characters found in The Canterbury Tales, particularly The Pardoner's Tale, were so overwhelmed by their earthly desires and ambitions that they failed to see the effects of their sinful actions, therefore depriving themselves of salvation.

    He didn’t want us to sin, as we were to be perfect in his eyes. But that all went away after Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s command to not eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and this is when sin was introduced into the world (the Fall). Sin is now just a human nature thing in us and now we keep making poor choices as we have the “sin” blood in us and we need to make the right choices daily to keep us sin free.
