The two cannot be equated, because they are completely different in nature.
They are both offensive.
They both cause a breakdown of relationship.
But the latter is significantly more offensive than the former.
It doesn’t negate the fact that the former is offensive, just as the fact that God rates sexual sins as more offensive to him as other sins doesn’t mean that the other sins are unimportant to Him. No, they are! They most certainly are! All sin is serious to God because all sin separates us from Him.
All sin needs God’s forgiveness and grace.
This is the good news!
While sexual sins are more offensive to God, the same grace that cleanses us from sin will cleanse these sins as well … and that grace makes us equally forgiven under the blood!
