7 Deadly Sins?

Someone asked what are the 7 deadly sins? I ain't sure.. so do some homework and provide the following info just for your reading..kekeke.. Wah lau.. u do 99% right but do 1% wrong, that's it, man.. No heaven for u.. Guess it's hell for most of all? kekeke... But it also says, it's not stated in the scriptures.. so, can jolly well ignore lor? Just keep to 10 commandments lor.. Well, the following has been retrieved from the website: http://members.aol.com/twarren20/seven.html Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." James 2:10 "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. The list consisted of the following: 1. Pride 2. Avarice (Greed) 3. Envy 4. Wrath 5. Lust 6. Gluttony 7. Sloth 1. PRIDE: This is the unwillingness to look at one's faults honestly, or of esteeming ourselves greatly based on an excessive consciousness of abilities or worth. This is vanity, and is often euphemistically called, 'self respect.' 2. AVARICE: This is simply Greed. This sin is the inordinate love of possessions and desire for either material wealth, or to gain more than one needs. 3. ENVY: This sin is that of jealousy or perverted love because it is the love and desire to own what belongs to someone else (exodus 20:17). This transgression is the discontentment over another's superiority over us in possessions or some good fortune. Envy is the resentment of the good others will or have received. 4. WRATH: This is the transgression of anger or strong exasperation in rage at something or someone. It is often the result of our impatience or of having our pride hurt. 5. LUST: This is the sin of having an inordinate and intense longing or appetite for something such as money, or sexual cravings. It is often manifested in a self-destructive drive for some pleasure regardless of it's value, merit, or legality. 6. GLUTTONY: This sin manifested in someone who indulges himself excessively in eating or drinking. 7. SLOTH: This sin is the inclination to being lazy or to abhor the work ethic. Man is to provide for himself and his household, and being idle is a contradiction to this command of God. hehe.. how many do you score for the 7 deadly sins stated above? kekeke.. For me ah.. hehe, I have sinned 4 out of 7! PRIDE, LUST, GLUTTONY & SLOTH... sigh..
