I've been watching the series on the History Channel called "The Seven Deadly Sins"
which are not in the Bible but are Christian concepts
in 375AD written by a monk, temptations to the soul:
lust, envy, gluttony, sloth, pride, greed
sorry, I forgot one.
Interesting concepts.

The History Channel puts out interesting documentaries but can, at times, be short in the exercise of due diligence with their research. Especially with matters of faith. The Bible does refer to the seven capital sins albeit it does not present them in list form.
Pride - 1 John 2:16
Greed - Exodus 20:17
Envy - Job 5:2 Romans 1:29
Anger - Matthew 5:22
Lust - Matthew 5:28
Gluttony - Proverbs 23:1-2
Sloth - Matthew 25:26-29

DH and I have been watching the series too. We did, however, miss the first show about Lust. Could it be we were being "lustful?"  Okay ... that was my attempt at humor. Tonight we'll be tuning into "Anger" and tomorrow it's "Pride."

I could be mis-interpreting History channels introduction of each section. I'll listen more carefully as to exactly what they say about the Bible, the monk, and the evolution of the behavior defined as deadly sins. When you remember the title of the movie, please let me know. Lola, thanks for posting where to find the Bible references.

What would even pre-date the Bible and where all 7 can be found are in the Ten Commandments, Lynn. So, given its Judaic roots, the theology behind the seven capital sins cannot even be claimed as a Christian concept.
It would be interesting to watch the show if and when I can manage to from here.
Thoughts and prayers for you, your Mom and Gran.

Moderation was not a word in our dictionary then. LOL!!!

I've been watching this series too and it does claim the 7 Deadly Sins were listed and named as "deadly" by a pope in 390 AD(which actually started as 8 in the monk's list).
The Rabbi that has been part of the commentary talks about which ones are, and are not, included as sins in the Jewish faith. If memory serves (no guarantees there!), he says at least a couple of them are not...at least directly.
I too got a great big laugh out that one NYW! Too funny and love it bunches. I think my DH would prefer that be the case at all times!
