Nothing to say, yet
The main idea of the information is that pride is considered the greatest sin, as it leads to other vices and caused the devil to be cast out of heaven. While all sins are equal in God's eyes, the consequences may differ. The speaker personally believes that blaspheming the Holy Spirit is the greatest sin, as it is unforgivable. Holding grudges and not forgiving others is also seen as a significant sin. Overcoming grudges and practicing forgiveness is challenging but necessary. Alright, for our final point, it is a chapter, book 3, chapter 8, it is called The Great Sin. So, as Lewis refers to in the book, the great sin is pride. And he names other ones as unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness, and all of that are mere flabby bites in comparison. And as he says, it was through pride that the devil became the devil. Pride leads to every other vice. It is the complete anti-God state of mind. What do you got to say? Yeah, absolutely. Pride is definitely, you could say, it's one of those sins that a lot of people, and you could even say non-Christians, wouldn't even think that being proud is a sin, right? Because who are you hurting by being proud, right? Say if you did something and you were proud in yourself, or like, you know, it seems like it's a harmless sin. But pride is ultimately what caused the devil to be cast out of heaven, you know? And it even says in the Bible, pride comes before the fall, you know? So those who are proud, we know that they will eventually have a fall, that there will come a time where they will fall due to their pride. Same as the devil was cast out of heaven because he became so proud. Now, C.S. Lewis claims that that's like the greatest sin, you know, and I think that is a super big sin. But ultimately, sin in God's eyes, it's all equal, but it's the consequences that are different for the sin. But what I personally think would be the greatest sin, because it's ultimately not forgivable, is blaspheming the Holy Spirit. Because I believe that's the only one that there is no way back, basically, to my understanding, is once you blaspheme the Holy Spirit, there is no more salvation for you. So I personally think that that's the greatest sin, maybe once you're a Christian, actually, because I think if you're a non-believer and you don't know the Holy Spirit, you can't blaspheme something or someone you don't know. You can say empty words, maybe, kind of like, for example, if, say, a random stranger came off the street and started saying all kinds of nonsense to you, would you be hurt by it? Or would you be like, you're some random person, I have no idea who you are, so your words don't matter to me, you know? Now, say if your mom or your sister or somebody came and said something hurtful to you, that would be a lot more painful than a random stranger. Yeah, yeah. And also, another sin that I think could also be one of the greatest sins, holding a grudge as well, since it says to forgive in the Bible, but holding a grudge is kind of like hating the person, not being able to forgive them. Like they did something to you, you're kind of like, oh, I don't like you anymore kind of thing. Yeah, and ultimately by holding a grudge, I would even go in deeper and say because you have a grudge, you probably have unforgiveness for this person that you're holding a grudge to because ultimately there's some reason that you have this grudge. And usually with grudges comes unforgiveness. And if we don't forgive, we won't be forgiven either. So we must forgive. But I agree, it's super hard to overcome grudges, ultimately leading to forgive to overcome that grudge.
