"Seven" is a mysterious number in religion, which is fully demonstrated in the Old Testament. God made Adam in seven days, and took out Adam's seventh rib to make Eve. Satan's original body is a seven-headed fire dragon (the third section of Chapter 12 of Revelation says: "There is a big red dragon with seven heads, which also wears a crown ... The fire dragon is an ancient snake, called devil, also called Satan, which has puzzled the whole world ..."), Satan is also the biggest devil in hell, and seven fallen angels are called Satan, among which the most famous. ), Belzub, Bailey, Abadong, Mastema, Samael. After The Age of Laziness, Christianity directly represented the seven deadly sins with the images of Satan's seven demons: pride, jealousy, rage, laziness, greed, gluttony and greed.

The seven deadly sins belong to the classification of human evil deeds, and were committed by St. Thomas, a priest of Shinto Society in the 3rd century. Aquinas listed various manifestations of evil deeds. In Catholic teachings, it is put forward that' according to the opinions of John Gessian and Pope Elucius I, we can distinguish the main evils that Christians often encounter'. The' significant' here means that these sins belong to the original sin, for example, the greed of thieves stems from desire.
These evils were originally written by Pang Yi, a Greek theological monk, and they were eight evils that hurt personal spirituality, namely, gluttony, lust, greed, sadness, anger, laziness, conceit and pride. Pang Yi observed that people at that time gradually became self-centered and particularly proud. Laziness here refers to' mental laziness'.
In the late 6th century, Pope George I reduced these eight crimes to seven, and included conceit in pride, laziness in sadness and jealousy. His ranking standard is the degree of love. Its order is: pride, jealousy, anger, sadness, greed, gluttony and lust. Later theologians such as St. Thomas? Aquinas has different views on this sorting method.
Compared with the seven deadly sins, Catholicism lists seven virtues (humility, gentleness, kindness, chastity, temperance, enthusiasm and generosity).
Major evils cannot be confused with unforgivable sins.
Dante arranged the seven deadly sins in The Divine Comedy according to the severity of evil deeds, in the following order:
1) lewdness-illegal sexual desire, such as adultery. Dante's criterion is' excessive love for each other', which will belittle God's love for people.
2) Gluttony-wasting food, or indulging in excessive appetite, drinking too much or hoarding too much food (Dante's view is' excessive greed for pleasure').
3) Greed-greedy to have more than what you need (or, in Dante's view, greed is' excessively keen to seek the superiority of money or power').
4) Laziness-laziness and wasting time
Laziness is condemned because:
Others need to work harder to bridge the gap.
Because what you should do is not done well, it is harmful to yourself.
Balance: one party pays more than the other (from Dante's theological point of view, laziness is' unable to love God wholeheartedly, unable to love God wholeheartedly'-specifically, it includes laziness, cowardice, lack of imagination, satisfaction and irresponsibility.
5) Anger-inappropriate (evil) feelings caused by hatred, revenge or denial of others, and the desire to punish others is also classified as anger (Dante described it as "love for justice subverts to revenge and spit").
6) Jealousy-feeling resentful because the other person has more assets than himself (Dante said, "The love for his own benefits has degenerated into the desire of other men who depend on them").
7) Pride-expecting others to look at you or liking yourself too much (feeling superior to others because of having it) (keeping yourself away from the propeller for God or your companions; Dante's definition is "Love for self distorts into hatred and contempt for neighbors").
In fact, all kinds of crimes are closely linked, and people have made various attempts on the level of causality. For example, pride (excessive infatuation with oneself) actually implies gluttony (excessive consumption or waste of food), and other crimes have the same connection. In fact, every crime shows that self-esteem is more important than God, so it fails to devote itself wholeheartedly to loving God. Scholastic theologians have developed a model of attribute and will essence to explain these evils.
In the fourth century, the Egyptian monk EvaGriou Ponticus defined sin as eight kinds of "passivity" of death. In the Orthodox Church, these impulses are still characterized as "deadly passion" rather than sin itself. On the contrary, in orthodox Christian moral theology, it is considered guilty to invite and entertain or refuse to try to resist these passions.
In Catholic teachings, considering 2865 numbered chapters, which were first published in 1992 on the order of Pope John Paul II, seven deadly sins died in one paragraph. For Christians, the main codes of moral progress are still the Ten Commandments and Blissfulness, which is a positive moral statement.
Four basic virtues and three theological virtues are collectively called seven virtues.
As mentioned above, the Latin words of evil are: superbia, invidia, ira, accidia, avaritia, gula and luxuria. The first letters of these words (changed the order) formed the Latin word saligia in the Middle Ages, from which the verb Saligia was adopted.
A demon who echoes evil deeds.
In 1589, Peter Binsfield paired each crime with various demons, who eased people's emotions through related crimes. According to Binsfield's classification, the pairing is as follows:
Lucifer: Pride
God of wealth: greed
Asmodey: lascivious
Satan: Anger.
Beelzebub: Gluttony
Leviathan: Jealousy
Belphegor: Lazy.
