Now there are certain sins that are detestable to God.
https://www.gotquestions.org/seven-deadly-sins.html
The "seven deadly sins" is a man-made construct and totally not in line with what God's Word says that God hates (hence the comparison with the passage in Proverbs).
I could try to put more examples in the post if that's good
1 John 5:16-17:
16 If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should pray about that.
17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.
1. Sin, which doesn't lead to death - Venial sins
2. Sin, which leads to death - Deadly/Mortal sins
You see this concept is biblical.
Only the Church structured the 7 major mortal sins into a concept, according to the Bible. It's like the concept of the Trinity - there is no word "Trinity" in the Bible, yet most Protestants believe in Triune God. Why? Because THE CONCEPT IS CLEARLY IN the Bible, even though not specifically called "Trinity", same with mortal and venial sins.
Here the context is talking about a Brother and most likely a PHYSICAL Death. And the sin wasn't declared...
2. (1 John 5:16-17) Praying for a sinning brother.
If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should pray about that. All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.
a. If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin… he will ask: When we see a brother in sin, John tells us the first thing to do is to pray for that person. All too often, prayer is the last thing we do, or the smallest thing we do in regard to our brother having a difficult time.
b. And He will give him life: God promised to bless the prayer made on behalf of a brother in sin. Perhaps such prayers have special power before God because they are prayers in fulfillment of the command to love the brethren. Surely, we love each other best when we pray for each other.
c. There is sin leading to death: Because John wrote in context of a brother, it is wrong to see him meaning a sin leading to spiritual death; he probably meant a sin leading to the physical death of the believer.
i. This is a difficult concept, but we have an example of it in 1 Corinthians 11:27-30, where Paul says that among the Christians in Corinth, because of their disgraceful conduct at the Lord’s Supper, some had died (many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep). This death came not as a condemning judgment, but as a corrective judgment (But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world [1 Corinthians 11:32]).
ii. Apparently, a believer can sin to the point where God believes it is just best to bring them home, probably because they have in some way compromised their testimony so significantly that they should just come on home to God.
iii. However, it is certainly presumptuous to think this about every case of an untimely death of a believer, or to use it as an enticement to suicide for the guilt-ridden Christian. Our lives are in God’s hands, and if He sees fit to bring one of His children home, that is fine.
d. I do not say that he should pray about that: Apparently, when a Christian is being corrected in regard to a sin leading to death, there is no point in praying for his recovery or restoration — the situation is in God’s hands alone.
e. There is sin not leading to death: John takes pains to recognize that not every sin leads to death in the manner he speaks of, though all unrighteousness is sin.

The Didache (1st-early 2nd century):
"Chapter 2. The Second Commandment: Grave Sin Forbidden. And the second commandment of the Teaching; You shall not commit murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not commit pederasty, you shall not commit fornication, you shall not steal, you shall not practice magic, you shall not practice witchcraft, you shall not murder a child by abortion nor kill that which is born. You shall not covet the things of your neighbor, you shall not swear, you shall not bear false witness, you shall not speak evil, you shall bear no grudge. You shall not be double-minded nor double-tongued, for to be double-tongued is a snare of death. Your speech shall not be false, nor empty, but fulfilled by deed. You shall not be covetous, nor rapacious, nor a hypocrite, nor evil disposed, nor haughty. You shall not take evil counsel against your neighbor. You shall not hate any man; but some you shall reprove, and concerning some you shall pray, and some you shall love more than your own life."
"Grave Sin Forbidden" you will ignore this?
A document written during the time of the Apostles and clearly approved by them, serving as a concise but important overview of Christian faith and practice, and sent to churches across Rome is dismissed simply because it's not part of the biblical canon? That seems illogical, especially since it was taught to the earliest Christians. And speaking of consistency. The word "Trinity" doesn’t appear in the bible even once, but you guys just say that the concept is there and i completely agree with that, but the same principle should apply to other teachings of the Church. Teaching about grave and venial sins, which is obviously in the bible, and first Christians, Apostles and their disciples, clearly taught it.
I wonder if there's an 8th deadly sin.
One where it's made from all of the other 7 deadly sins.
Might not be the case, but it is something to think about sometimes, lol.
