I use the word deliberate as in . . . . planned.
Think of a teen driver who, because of inexperience, overturns on a curve, loses control of their car, and hits and kills a person walking down the side of road
verses
A teen driver who takes a dare to run over a pedestrian with his car
In the first case, the driver never meant it to happen. In the second case, the driver planned it.
It like comparing the Apostle Peter's sins of pride and impetuousness to Judas Iscariot's plan to betray Jesus.
Were they both deliberate. Yes, I guess you could say that.
But, their intentions and motives make a big difference as to the gravity of the sin. |
