What do you think of these names: Ira, Acedia, Luxuria?
Q. These are the names of three little girls that I babysit regularly. Ira Superbia - 2 yrs : (EYE-rah . soo-PER-bee-ah) Acedia Invidia - 4 yrs : (ah-SEED-ee-ah . in-VID-ee-ah) Luxuria Avaritia - 5 yrs : (lux-YUR-ee-ah . av-ah-REE-sha) They seem like okay names, but they are actually 6 of the 7 deadly sins in Latin. Ira Superbia means Wrath and Pride Acedia Invidia means Sloth and Envy Luxuria Avaritia means Lust and Greed What do you think of the names?

A. Canto VII, Fifth Circle, where in the swamp-like water of the river Styx, the wrathful fight each other on the surface, and the sullen or slothful lie gurgling beneath the water. Acedia is more commonly known as sloth, one of the seven deadly sins as first defined by Gregory the Great. To quote Dorothy Sayers describing the characteristics of the life characterized by this sin: "it is the [one] who believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die."

why are the seven deadly sins so bad?!?!?
Q. ok, im not a christian, and i know the seven deadly sins, and heres a question, why are they so deadly? 1. Luxuria (later turned to lust) is it not wrong to live life to the fullest, and NOT think these thoughts? 2. Gula (gluttony) if you are not greedy, you will not survive, if you give everything away, you will suffer poverty, is there a way to live? 3.Avarita (greed) is there a difference between Gula and Avarita? 4. Acedia (Sloth) this is the only one of the sins i agree with, if you dont work for your pay/food, then you do not deserve to have it. 5. Ira (wrath) Isnt it proven that with-holding anger is bad for your health? and if you ventilate it in a healthy way, its still a sin!! 6. Invidia (envy) envy is something that is… [cont.]

A. All of the following are per my interpretation of the Christian faith (an appropriate context, since the question you asked is from Christian doctine). 1) the purpose of life is not for one's own fulfillment, but to further the fulfillment of the Lord. 2. (to answer #3 below) Gluttony is the wallowing in physical pleasure, at the expense of spiritual matters. It is also the sin of taking more than you need. and... 3. You make an error of logic. It doesn't say that one should give up everything, it merely says one should not be greedy and attempt to acquire everything. 4. But this is more than money...this is laziness of the spirit as well. 5. Instead, one could learn to rid one's self of anger. And don't throw me some cliche… [cont.]

Who Believes in The 7 "Deadly Sins"?
Q. Lust - is usually thought of as excessive thoughts or desires of a sexual nature. Gluttony - Derived from the Latin gluttire, meaning to gulp down or swallow, gluttony is the over-indulgence and over-consumption of anything to the point of waste. Greed - is, like lust and gluttony, a sin of excess. However, greed (as seen by the church) is applied to the acquisition of wealth in particular. St. Thomas Aquinas wrote that greed was "a sin against God, just as all mortal sins, in as much as man condemns things eternal for the sake of temporal things. Sloth - More than other sins, the definition of sloth has changed considerably since its original inclusion among the seven deadly sins. In fact it was first called the sin of sadness or… [cont.]

A. those you mentioned are not the 7 deadly sins Many people fear a list of seven sins that God supposedly will not forgive. This list is known as the seven deadly sins. Is the idea of seven deadly sins biblical? Yes and no. Proverbs 6:16-19 declares, There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: (1) haughty eyes, (2) a lying tongue, (3) hands that shed innocent blood, (4) a heart that devises wicked schemes, (5) feet that are quick to rush into evil, (6) a false witness who pours out lies, and (7) a man who stirs up dissension among brothers. However, this list is not what most people understand as the seven deadly sins. Most people understand the list of the seven deadly sins to be pride, envy, gluttony, [cont.]

Muslims and the deadly sin Pride?
Q. the seven deadly sins are as follows: Luxuria (extravagance, later lust), Gula (gluttony), Avaritia (greed), Acedia (sloth), Ira (wrath, more commonly known as anger), Invidia (envy), and Superbia (pride). In almost every list Pride is considered the original and most serious of the seven deadly sins, and indeed the ultimate source from which the others arise. It is identified as a desire to be more important or attractive than others, failing to give compliments to others though they may be deserving of them, and excessive love of self (especially holding self out of proper position toward God). Dante's definition was "love of self perverted to hatred and contempt for one's neighbor. Vanity and Narcissism are prime examples of this Sin.… [cont.]
