Look in Proverbs 6:16-1
Two thing sport:
1) proverbs still doesn't out line "7 deadly sins"
Pro 16:16-19
16 The Lord hates these seven things:
17 eyes that show pride,
tongues that tell lies,
hands that kill innocent people,
18 hearts that plan evil things to do,
feet that run to do evil,
19 witnesses in court who tell lies,
and anyone who causes family members to fight.
2)
Proverbs are apart of what is known as the "wisdom literature" the wisdom literature are the books of songs, psalms and sayings. Saying similar the ones Ben Franklin left in poor richard's almanac. "A penny saved is a penny earned, the early bird catches the worm." Ect.. Except these saying we're penned by King Solomon. While Solomon had the wisdom of God nothing found in Proverbs is considered apart of any Law, (nt or OT) therefore is not considered sin.
At best you have seven things that God hates about man, some of which are considered to be sin.
So where did the 'seven deadly sins come from?
