Lol, I have been going to church since i was about 5. Stopped and started going again with the wife.

I have read the Bible twice now. Still a mystery.


As for the bold. That is the all sins are equal quote is it not?

John 19:11, "You would have no authority over me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason he who delivered me up to you has the greater sin."

Which contradicts it?

Even the committal of one sin makes one guilty of breaking the whole law. The reason for that is the same in that one having robbing a bank only once, is still a bank robber.

All sins are not equal. Shooting a bird with a BB gun isn't quite on par with shooting a 19 month old riding in a stroller pushed by his Mom in the face.

No scripture ever contradicts another, and no scripture ever contradicts true science. I just put this verse up for you but, the gist of it obviously got by you, not that I believe you were actually seeking truth. However, I'll play along a little longer Mark 12:24 (KJV)
24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

Belief in the one true God is a matter of faith. Apart from that it is impossible to understand scripture. Therefore Jesus told the Sadducees that even though they had some knowledge of the scriptures, they were in error because they didn't really understand those scriptures, or the power of God.

In John 19:11 Jesus is speaking to Pilate who is incredulous that Jesus was not shaking in His boots for fear of what Pilate (a Roman Governor) could do to Him. Jesus, using even this as a teachable moment, tells Pilate he would have no power at all over Him unless the Father had allowed it. And goes on to say that Judas had the greater sin because of his familiarity with Jesus, having seen first hand all the miracles and heard His ministry to man. Judas He said, had the greater sin between the two, because it was he who betrayed Jesus into Pilate's hand. Pilate shot the bird, and Judas the babe.
