Early Christian teachings taught man about The Seven Deadly Sins. These 7 sins, if committed, could lead a person to live a life of eternal damnation. And the only way to avoid eternal damnation from comitting these 7 sins was through confession or being forgiven by the one who was wronged. Ironically, these 7 sins cannot be found anywhere in the Christian Bible.

Here's a list of the 7 Sins, if you don't already know:

Lust
Gluttony
Greed
Sloth
Wrath
Envy
Pride

And to oppose these 7 Deadly Sins, there were The 7 Heavenly Virtues, derived from "Psychomachia", an epic poem. Here's a list of the Virtues:

Chastity
Abstinence
Liberality
Diligence
Patience
Kindness
Humility

No, there is no point to this post. You could take it as general knowledge, or the fact that I may have gone psycho ;) OR, you could just stop to check yourself, and see how many of these sins or virtues that you have committed and see which one weighs more.

I'm not saying to scrutinize your every move and see which virtue or vice you're carrying out which might determine your place in heaven or hell. Just go with the flow because eventually we all have to die anyway.
