The Second Seven Deadly Sins


The Second Seven Deadly Sins

(An Introduction to the Second Seven Deadly Sins)

From the Holy Bible

These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Proverbs 6:16 – 19, KJV

The Seven Deadly Sins
(An Introduction to the Second Seven Deadly Sins: Part II)

The following is a list of the commonly recognized Seven Deadly Sins.  I invite you to compare these to the Seven Deadly Sins as listed in Proverbs 6: 16-19, which I listed on 5/14/2014

1.      Wrath:  Anger, Rage, Fury, Ire
2.      Greed:  Insatiability, Self-indulgence
3.      Sloth:  Laziness, Idleness, Lethargy, Inactivity
4.      Pride:  Arrogance, Conceit, Smugness, Self-importance, Egotism
5.      Lust:  Desire, Yearning, Covetousness
6.      Envy:  Jealousy, Bitterness, Resentment, Spite
7.      Gluttony:  Excess, Superfluous

The Second Seven Deadly Sins

As you look at the two above lists you see that there is some overlap.  Also, as you look at the second list, the one that is “widely recognized”, you will notice that there is overlap within the list itself.  For example, Greed, Lust, and Gluttony are very closely related.  I have also come to the conclusion that PRIDE is at the root of the other six.

I have often wondered what the Second Seven Deadly Sins are.  I’ve searched and have found no such list.  Therefore, I’ve created my own list.  Here for your enjoyment is my list.

The Second Seven Deadly Sins

1.      Debt: Obligation, Liability, Requirement, Onus
2.      Gossip: Chatter, blather, rumormongering, scandalmongering
3.      Ingratitude: Ungratefulness, rudeness, Insolence, Disrespect
4.      Impatience: Annoyance, Irritation, Exasperation
5.      Indifference: Unimportance, Irrelevance, Inconsequence
6.      Intolerance: Bigotry, Prejudice, Fanaticism, Racism
7.      Revenge: Retaliation, Vengeance, Reprisal, Retribution
