The Seven Deadly Sins in Christianity
Journal Title: Dini Araştırmalar -Altı Aylık Bilimsel Dergi- - Year 2014, Vol 17, Issue 45
Abstract
The sins in Christianity except the original sin, which is one of the basic principles of the faith, are called as actual sin. Actual sin is divided into two as mortal sins and venial sins. The Christian saints who interpreted the sin from another angle pointed out seven frailties inborn in the human nature as the source of all sins. They systematized these and characterized them as the seven deadly sins. These sins which are not listed in the Bible are pride, covetousness, lust, anger, envy, sloth and gluttony. They are important since they are seen as the sources of many sins committed by people in their daily life. The purpose of the Christian priests dwelling upon these sins is to inform people about them, and to prevent people from committing sin by teaching them that they can control their behaviors
