[Arthur McGowan]

That has nothing to do with men classifying sin to make themselves feel better about themselves.

JESUS classifies sins as mortal and venial.

I.e., Jesus talks about sins that cause people to be damned, AND Jesus talks about sins that people can commit, but which do NOT cut them off from "the kingdom of Heaven."

Since JESUS taught that some sins are mortal, and some sins are venial, I will go with what Jesus taught.

Could you show me where in the Bible those words are found?

He spoke of only one sin that will not be forgiven:
The sin of dismissing the calling of the Holy Spirit, by thinking that you can decide the time to come to him.
