raping or murdering a child

I think there may be a "you" between the "would" and "consider," though I am not completely sure. I'm just going to answer it in that form, anyway: Pedophilia.

I think that every sin is a sin no matter what you do. In God's eyes, a little sin can just as easily be forgiven and done as a giant sin. The Bible says, once you have broken one law, you have broken all.

Judgement. This sin in particular allows for soo many other sins... hate, anger, resentment... So much of human suffering has been caused by one group beliving theyre more worthy of a better life for themselfs without reguard for anyone elses well being. Yet people think for some reason that in their self rightous belifes that their judgement on others will grant them a seat next to whatever god they belive. Crap i say!

When I was little, the church said the only unforgivable sin was despair - abandonment of the hope of God's forgiveness. That's a circular-logic mess, though, because despair is disbelief that God will forgive. So the sinner, although she/he may be deeply regretful, doesn't ask. So God doesn't forgive? Sorry, but that's not my notion of how a divine, loving, and all-knowing deity would be. It's hard to imagine ever having worried in those terms. It's nice to be a grown-up. Genocide strikes me as a thing that might offend a divine and loving deity.

I think killing Jesus was the ultimate sin, but i think that even those people could have been forgiven if they tried.

betrayal to the lord.

It says in the bible that all sins are equal. Except one, there is only one "unforgivable sin" and that is to deny christ, saying that he doesnt exist is the ultimate sin and can never be forgiven.

Betrayal. Everything we do turns ultimately, into some sort of betrayal to the will of God. When we abuse or rape our own children, we abuse of the trust they have in us for being their protectors and caring for them. Sin is not based on the things we do themselves, but in the fact that when we do them, we have consciously chosen to turn away from God. Thus, betraying the one who loves us most.

killing a family member

killing parents would be the worst

Murdering a family memeber, wife or stranger for the reasons of self gain or status.

The ultimate sin would be to deny the power of God's grace, forgiveness, compassion, and mercy. From my experience, most of us have done sinful things -- and most likely, will do sinful things in the future. The trick seems to be to use grace to commit fewer and fewer sins and commit more and more loving acts.
