SEVEN DEADLY SINS WILL SEND YOU TO HELL FOR SURE IN THE END:

SEVEN DEADLY SINS

GLUTTONY

LUST

SLOTHFULNESS

GREED

PRIDE

ENVY

WRATH

ALL OF THE ABOVE ARE NOTED AS CAPITAL VICES OR CARDINAL SINS. THESE ARE BEHAVIORS, ACTIONS, OR HABITS THAT ARE CATEGORIZED TO REINFORCE IMMORAL MANNERISMS. PROVERBS 6:16-19 ADVOCATES THE SEVEN VICES THAT GOD DESPISES. THE LIST BELOW CUTS EACH ONE DOWN TO SIZE:

  1. A LYING TONGUE

  2. A HEART THAT DEVISETH WICKED ACTS

  3. A PROUD LOOK

  4. HANDS THAT WILL SHED BLOOD OF INNOCENT INDIVIDUALS

  5. A FALSE WITNESS THAT SPEAKETH LIES

  6. A PERSON’S FEET THAT BE SWIFT IN RUNNING IN MISCHIEF

  7. ANYONE WHO SOWETH DISCORD AMONG MANKIND

SLOTH-SLOTHFULNESS IS QUITE DEADLY. PLEASE READ THIS! Sloth has also been defined as a failure to do things that one should do. By this definition, evil exists when "good" people fail to act ON. "No man, who is not inflamed by vain-glory into enthusiasm, can flatter himself that his single, unsupported, desultory, unsystematic endeavors are of power to defeat the subtle designs and united Cabals of ambitious citizens. When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, an unitized sacrifice in a contemptible struggle."

Unlike the other capital sins, which are sins of committing immorality, sloth is a sin of omitting responsibilities. It may arise from any of the other capital vices; for example, a son may omit his duty to his father through anger. While the state and habit of sloth is a mortal sin, the habit of the soul tending towards the last mortal state of sloth is not mortal in and of itself except under certain circumstances. Emotionally and cognitively, the evil of acedias finds expression in a lack of any feeling for the world, for the people in it, or for the self. Acedia takes form as an alienation of the sentient self first from the world and then from itself. Although the most profound versions of this condition are found in a withdrawal from all forms of participation in or care for others or one-self, a lesser but more noisome element was also noted by theologians. From tristitia, asserted Gregory the Great, "there arise malice, rancor, cowardice, [and] despair..." Chaucer, too, dealt with this attribute of acedias, counting the characteristics of the sin to include despair, somnolence, idleness, tardiness, negligence, indolence, and rawness, the last variously translated as "anger" or better as "peevishness". For Chaucer, human's sin consists of languishing and holding back, refusing to undertake works of goodness because, he/she tells him/her self, the circumstances surrounding the establishment of good are too grievous and too difficult to suffer. Acedia in Chaucer's view is thus the enemy of every source and motive for work.

Sloth not only subverts the livelihood of the body, taking no care for its day-to-day provisions, but also slows down the mind, halting its attention to matters of great importance. Sloth hinders the man in his righteous undertakings and thus becomes a terrible source of human's WRONG-DOINGS! PROCRASTINATION DISPLEASES GOD.
