However, venial sin does wound our relationship with God and with our neighbour. All sins can be forgiven as there are no limits to the mercy of God. A sin cannot be forgiven when a person refuses to accept the mercy of God. Such hardness of heart leads one to reject the forgiveness of his sins and the salvation offered by the Holy Spirit. Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin.
Sin can lead to other sins, and to vices by the repetition of the same sins.
Vices are bad habits and can be classified according to the virtues they oppose or by linking them to the capital sins. All rights reserved.
