If we look at the law different sins required different punishment and different atonement. While the idea all sins are equal this shows they are not or all would have required the same punishment and the same atonement.

I just watched a video by Perry Stone and he was talking about unbelievers getting different levels of punishment in eternity based on the level of sin likening sin to crimes some are misdemeanors and some are felonies and how each are punished differently. You don't send a person who ran a red light to jail for all their life like you would a murderer of several people.

Based on the law I would agree. While believers sins are atoned for by Christ's blood those who are not believers will face varying punishments in eternity base on the severity of their sins.

Some often wonder why we emphasize certain sins but not others and I would say certain sins carry greater punishment for the non believer and thus stand out more to us. If you reject the bible and Jesus than your sins will determine the level of punishment you get. Your destination will be hell based on your unbelief but what part will be determined by your sin.

People wonder why we are so concerned with h*m*s*xuality since it is just another sin. But when you realize that a unsaved h*m*s*xual (I refuse to call them gay a word that really means happy), which would be a practicing one who does not find his actions against God, will suffer greater punishment for his sin then a ordinary non-believer you want to try even harder to help them to Christ and out of that lifestyle. You also understand that countries, states, cities and organizations that help perpetuate this sin will face greater punishment then those who do not.

It is why we worry for those Christians living in San Fran or in Calif in general, and for the ones living where h*m*s*xual marriage has been made legal, and for the USA as a whole because this is a grievous sin and will bring greater punishment than lesser sins would. The same for abortion a grievous sin that will bring about great punishment.

All sin is not equal there are greater and lesser sins. While yes any sin is a sin against God and enough to prevent a person not covered in Jesus blood form entering heaven, which is why we need Jesus and need to believe on him, the punishment for those sins, outside of eternity in hell, will vary and the greater the sin the greater the eternal punishment.
