Not All Sins Are Equal - Father Josiah Trenham
"In this reflection, Fr. Josiah Trenham examines what the Scriptures actually teach about sin, God's mercy, and the important distinction between becoming a sinner and the varying degrees of personal sin.
00:00 Are All Sins Equal?
04:39 Why Not All Sins Are the Same
05:09 The Progression of Sin: Thoughts, Words & Actions
09:17 How God Measures the Gravity of Sin
