Fearfully Wonderfully Made
I've seen this question asked several times on this forum. I found a very short simple verse that may be helpful to those debating this question:
Romans 3:23
23for all (AK)have sinned and fall short of the glory of God
I read a great understandable commentary to this verse in my Life Applications Study Bible that answered this question about "little vs. big sin":
Some sins seem bigger than others because their obvious consequences are much more serious. Murder, for example, seems to us to be worse than hatred, and adultery seems worse than lust. But this does not mean that because we do lesser sins we deserve eternal life. All sin makes us sinners, and all sin cuts us off from our holy God. All sin, therefore, leads to death (because it disqualifies us from living with God), regardless of how great or small it seems. Don't minimize "little" sins or overrate "big" sins. They all separate us from God, but they all can be forgiven.
Hope that helps! Be blessed!
