Pakistan Plane Crash

21 dead in Pakistan plane crash

We may die any moment or during the tribulation. But are we ready for the Eternal Kingdom? Eternal damnation is horrifying, forever terrible suffering in the lake of fire.

Be guided by the Ten Commandments of God and the Seven Capital Sins.

The Ten Commandments

The Ten Commandments, or Decalogue (from Greek δεκάλογος), is a list of religious and moral imperatives that, according to the Hebrew Bible, were given by God to the people of Israel from the mountain referred to as Mount Sinai or Horeb. The Bible describes their initial form as an inscription on two stone tablets which God wrote with his finger, after which God gave the tablets to Moses. The Ten Commandments are recognized as a moral foundation in Judaism and Christianity, and their substance also figures in Islam and Baha'i Faith. Wikipedia

The Seven Deadly Sins, also known as the Capital Vices or Cardinal Sins, is a classification of objectionable vices that has been used since early Christian times to educate and instruct followers concerning fallen humanity's tendency to sin. The final version of the list consists of wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony.

The Catholic Church divides sin into two categories: "venial sins", which are relatively minor and can be forgiven through any sacramentals or sacraments of the Church (as well as through prayer and acts of charity), and the more severe "grave" or mortal sins. Theologically, a mortal sin is believed to destroy the life of grace within the person and thus creates the threat of eternal damnation. "Mortal sin, by attacking the vital principle within us - that is, charity - necessitates a new initiative of God's mercy and a conversion of heart which is normally accomplished [for Catholics] within the setting of the sacrament of reconciliation."

The Deadly Sins do not belong to an additional category of sin. Rather, they are the sins that are seen as the origin ("capital" comes from the latin caput, head) of the other sins. A "deadly sin" can be either venial or mortal, depending on the situation; but "they are called 'capital' because they engender other sins, other vices." wikipedia
