The difference between Heaven and Hell isn’t that Hell is full of sinners and Heaven full of saints. It is that Hell is full of unrepentant sinners and Heaven is full of repentant sinners.
“Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the foremost.” 1 Timothy 1:15
Does knowledge of sin make sin worse? According to the Catholicism of the Catholic Church it is a huge factor – Paragraph 1859 reads. “Mortal sin requires full knowledge and complete consent. It presupposes knowledge of the sinful character of the act, of its opposition to God’s law. It also implies a consent sufficiently deliberate to be a personal choice. Feigned ignorance and hardness of heart do not diminish, but rather increase, the voluntary character of a sin.”
I can with great humility say that I am the worst of sinners. I know this as a fact because I know the great gifts that God gave to me. And, in that knowledge, I know how many gifts I’ve wasted. So does knowledge of my wasted gifts make anything I do a sin?
Further, CCC 1816 states, “The disciple of Christ must not only keep the faith and live on it, but also profess it, confidently bear witness to it, and spread it: “All however must be prepared to confess Christ before men and to follow him along the way of the Cross, amidst the persecutions which the Church never lacks.” Service of and witness to the faith are necessary for salvation: “So every one who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven; but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.”
If Jesus says that all who deny Him before the world, He will deny before the Father, is it not a ‘sin’ in God’s eyes to not share the graces God gives a soul.?
