The seven sins.

Sin. An offense against religious law. A transgression of the law of god. A crime.

The seven deadly sins are those transgressions which are fatal to spiritual progress. You probably commit some of them everyday without thinking about the rich tradition of eternal damnation in which you're participating.

Why seven? Who decided on putting only seven? The christian church made a division between sins which were venial with those which were capital. These capital punishments which were seen as fatal to the well-being of the spirit, were thus named the seven deadly sins.

Truth of the matter is, The seven deadly sins are a classification of all human acts regarded as gross in the face of God Almighty.

What are the seven deadly sins?

First.

Superbia
Pride. Proud or disdainful behaviour or treatment. The sin from which all other sins arise. It involves an excessive belief in the self that interferes with the sinner's recognition of the grace of God.

Then comes

Invidia
Envy. Painful or resentful awareness of an advantage enjoyed by another joined with a desire to possess the same advantage. Simply put, wanting. Asking for more than what the Almighty has given to us, indeed is it a sin.

Next is

Avarice
Greed. The excessive and insatiable desire for wealth and material gain. Desiring for more than you need. Greedy individuals are often believed to be harmful to society as their motives often appear to disregard the welfare of others: if one person is to increase in wealth, somebody else must be decreasing in wealth. Such is the hoarding of God's gifts a sin.

Followed by

Gula
An excessive indulgence in food and drink. A sin for those who refuse to share that which The Creator has given them. For His gifts are to be shared and cherished by all of mankind. Not for one person alone. Gluttony.

Also

Accidia
Laziness. Sloth. The disinclination to action or labor of either physical or spiritual in nature. Putting off the tasks asked of you by God, even ignoring His commands entirely. Great is the sin of one who does ignore the calling of God Almighty.

The sixth sin

Luxuria
The unbridle desires of the flesh. Sex. Lust. The wish to make love to another that one is not married to. Great indeed is this sin in the eyes of God.

Last and certainly not the least

Wrath
The heart of the devil. Anger. A strong vengeful indignation. Feelings of hatred, revenge or even denial, as well as punitive desires outside of justice. May we be saved from such feelings.

The seven deadly sins. Evil in the eyes of God, and negativity that could only lead to a bad end.
