LIVING BY THE SPIRIT OPENS YOUR EYES TO THE TRUTH.

The Seven Deadly Sins are those transgressions which are fatal to spiritual progress. The Seven Deadly Sins also known as the capital vices or cardinal sins are considered “deadly” for several reasons: 

1. Spiritual Death:These sins are seen as particularly destructive to the soul and are called “deadly” because they can lead to spiritual death if not repented and forgive.

2. Deprivation of Grace: If we engage in these sins willingly, they deprive us of sanctifying grace, which is the life of God in our souls.

3. Gateway to Other Sins: These sins earn the title of deadly sins because they are a gateway or stepping-stone to other sins and are, therefore, harmful to our spiritual progress.

4. Human Nature: They are the sins to which we are most susceptible because of our fallen human nature. They are the tendencies that cause us to commit all other sins.

The seven deadly sins are: pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth. They are contrary to the seven heavenly virtues and are seen as a major obstacle to achieving spiritual growth and salvation in Christian teachings.

These seven deadly sins have a person going in every direction out of their minds. Not only are these sins addictive but, there are certain demons that specialize in these sins and are assigned to you to make sure you are tempted by each and every one of these sins sooner or later.

Known as Archdemons: Some medieval scholars of demonology ascribed to a hierarchy of seven archdemons the seven deadly sins: Lucifer (Pride); Mammon (Avarice); Asmodeus (Lechery); Satan (Anger); Beelzebub (Gluttony); Leviathan (Envy); and Belphegor (Sloth).

PRIDE: is one's demonized beliefs that their own inflated sense of one's abilities and accomplishments are more powerful than God, therefore cannot humble themselves and recognize the grace of God. Pride is also known as Vanity. A feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one's own achievements, the achievements of those with whom one is closely associated, or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired. Pride is considered the original and most serious of the seven deadly sins, pride is understood as the desire to be more important or attractive than others, failing to acknowledge the good work of others, and excessive love of self.

GREED: is the demonized excessive desire for material things, to acquire or possess more than one needs or deserves, particularly with respect to material wealth or gain, it is also called Covetousness. Unrestrained greed in an individual can lead to callousness, arrogance, and even megalomania. A person dominated by greed will often ignore the harm their actions can cause others. It is greed that makes people want to do things, since they will be rewarded for their efforts.

WRATH: is the demonized manifestation in an individual who spews out uncontrolled hatred, anger, division and chooses fury over love. Wrath often reveals itself in the wish to seek vengeance. Wrath in its purest form usually presents injury, violence, and hate that may provoke feuds that can go on for centuries. Wrath may persist long after the person who did anothergrievous wrong is dead. Wrath, or anger, is the intense emotional response induced by displeasure. It can manifest in different ways, including impatience, revenge, and self-destructive behavior.

ENVY: is a demonized insatiable desire, a jealousy towards another's traits, status, abilities, happiness or situation. A feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else's possessions, qualities, or luck. You feel envy when someone else has something that you want to have. A typical example is when someone possesses an expensive or exclusive item that you would also like to own, such as an expensive car, a beautiful home or front row tickets to a sports match. Envying someone else's wife or girlfriend.

LUST:is a demonized desire, lust is usually excessive thoughts or desires of a sexual nature, an unrestrained sexual craving for the pleasures of the body. Lust is of "voluptuous emotions", sexual pleasures, "unloosened of the human spirit", setting aside the right reasoning.  Pure lustful sex, simply for the sake of pleasure, and therefore a sin. A man who uses his body for lechery wrongs the Lord.  Lechery is a noun applied to a person's feelings that are lustful or sexual in an extreme or unnatural way. A person's lechery may lead to wrong and unlawful physical acts or attacks on others, or to the making and viewing of inappropriate pictures and movies.

GLUTTONY: is a demonized desire to consume more than that which one requires. To over indulge especially by over eating. Gluttony disrespects the body and society From the perspective of the individuals human body, consistently eating and drinking in excess hurts the health of the body, and therefore should be recognized as sinful. Gluttony is not just about eating over indulgence can be to much of a bad thing that disrupts your walk, and relationship with Jesus Christ and your Christian life style.

SLOTH: is lack of effort and avoiding anything to do with spiritual growth or physical work. Also known as laziness. Sloth can indicate spiritual laziness we often think of a “couch potato” as being slothful... Sloth is a sin against God's love in that it goes so far as to refuse the joy that comes from God and to be repelled by divine goodness. It is a loss of hope in ever achieving what God wants for us: our eternal happiness. Sloth is defined as physical laziness, but also spiritual laziness, avoiding to do what God has asked you to do reading your Bible, praying without ceasing, taking care of widows, orphans and people in need.
