Why are you so confident that there is a difference?
Because I don't think eating bread or having sex are in and of themselves sinful. But to lust after them is.
Hey, Hey! That's my video response I use in the Theology folder!
Lust is an intense unnatural desire to have what isn't yours.
Thou shalt not covet...
.
so where is seven deadly sins listed at in the Bible? proverbs 6 list 6 things God hates the 7th is a abomination . sin is sin
I do appreciate the scripture you provided, interesting point. Even so, I would say that the things listed in that definitely fall under the seven deadly sins. So I feel that even if the concept of the seven deadly sins is not directly mentioned in scripture, it doesn't appear to contradict scripture either. I see the concept of the seven deadly sins as a summation of the human qualities that cause or motivate sin; we do have a sinful nature after all.
I think you need to define your use of "lust" better. Afterall, lust is really just a "strong desire" for something. Many associate the word with sexual desire, but that's not the only definition and not every type of lust is necessarily bad or sinful.
