I can only hope that when placed in boiling water and oil, a human would lose consciousness quickly. God help me, but my sins seem small.
Comparatively, most of our sins are small.
However, the DECEPTION FROM HELL IS
that small sins are not as deadly, destructive, horrid spiritually, eternally.
And the truth is, they are.
All separate us from God. Apart from God, we are all dead in our tresspasses and sins. Apart from God in our hearts, we'd just as soon kill to get ahead, too.
It is sometimes deceptive that in our culture even with as much hypocrisy in Christian centers and our culture as a whole--THERE IS STILL ENOUGH OF A SUBSTRATE OF CHRISTIAN VALUES RESIDUE LEFT that some things are still beyond the pale even for nonbelievers. But that is a function of God being in the hearts of many in the culture for a long time.
