There are generally two main categories of sins: venial sins and mortal sins.
1. Venial sins: Venial sins are considered less serious offenses against God and do not completely sever one's relationship with Him. These sins are often described as minor transgressions that do not lead to damnation if one dies without confessing them. Examples of venial sins include lying, gossiping, being impatient, and having impure thoughts.
2. Mortal sins: Mortal sins are considered more serious offenses against God and can lead to damnation if one dies without confessing and repenting of them. These sins are often described as grave violations of God's law that completely sever one's relationship with Him. Examples of mortal sins include murder, adultery, theft, and blasphemy.
It is important to note that the severity of a sin can vary depending on the circumstances and intentions behind it. Ultimately, all sins are considered harmful to one's relationship with God and should be confessed and repented of in order to seek forgiveness and reconciliation.
