forgiveness Sloth-diligence Greed- charity Gluttony-temperance Lust- chastity

9 Bible vs.Dante’s The Bible does NOT refer to 7 deadly sins, but Dante’s Divine Comedy, Purgatorio, is the best source.

10 Gluttony Derived from Latin to gulp down or swallow
Over-indulgence and over-consumption of anything to the point of waste Dante’s hell- they had to eat snakes.

11 Gluttony Depends on culture- where food is scarce and is a status symbol, taking pride in having a lot is a vice. Where food is plentiful- not having self-control is the vice. Which are we? it was: Eating too soon Too expensively Too much Too eagerly Too daintily- Prioress

12 Greed Avarice Sin of excess like gluttony, only this isn’t food, it’s wealth. Includes disloyalty, deliberate betrayal, treason for Personal Gain. Hoarding materials or objects, robbery, especially by means of violence or trickery. Simony- where one profits form solicitng goods within the actual confines of a church Dante- bound face down on board for thinking earthly thoughts

13 SLOTH Has considerably changed since its beginning. Used to be sadness, or depression, joylessness- a refusal to enjoy the goodness of God and the world he created. Spiritual apathy Changed to discontent, “uneasiness of the mind” Failure to love God with all your heart TODAY IT STANDS FOR LAZINESS, UNWILLINGESS TO ACT OR CARE, rather than a failure to love God, so now it is not such a serious sin.

14 Sloth- Dante’s Purgatorio made slothful penitents (sinners) RUN at TOP SPEED

15 Envy Like GREED, envy has Insatiable desire, but greed is for material goods, and envy is more general. They covet something someone else has, or something they think they lack

16 Envious Glance Dante’s hell has the envious having their eyes sewn shut with wire because they have gained sinful pleasure from seeing others brought low

17 Green with envy Idiom

18 WRATH or Anger Uncontrolled feelings of hatred
Do EVIL or HARM to others Desire to seek revenge outside of the workings of the justice system Vengeance: murder, assault, and genocide Only sin not necessarily associated with selfishness or self interest Dante’s hell has sinners dismembered while still ALIVE! Batman exemplifies this because he acts out of vengeance.

19 Lust Obsessive thought or desires of some thing
Dante- “excessive love of others”, penitence is to walk through the flames to purge oneself from lustful thoughts

20 Love and Lust Love and lust are two different things
A Genuine, selfless love represents the highest degree of development while lust is an excessive desire for The other person is just a “means to an end” for the fulfillment of the desires

21 The worst one This is the sin that is depicted as the trunk of the sin tree because most other sins come from it. It is the MOST DEADLY of all the sins. In the BIBLE, this was the downfall of LUCIFER- it caused his fall from heaven. WHAT IS IT?

22 PRIDE

23 Pride can be the downfall of the young, old, or even cartoon characters. It is sometimes referred to as VANITY. Dante’s hell: had to walk with stone slabs bearing down on back to induce humility.

24 Demons Associated with Sins
Asmodeus: Lust Beelzebub: Gluttony Mammon: Greed Belphegor: Sloth Satan: Wrath Leviathan: Envy Lucifer: Pride

25 Bible “These six things doth the lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him”:
A proud look A lying tongue Hands that shed innocent blood Heart that deviseth wicked imaginations Feet that be swift in running to mischief A false witness that speaketh lies He that soweth discord among brethren
