Since its launch in 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope has produced photographs of the universe is amazing and helps people better understand the universe. However, in the first weeks of operation, photos of the resulting quality was very bad. Much worse than expected. Selidik selidik, turned out to have the cause is the mirror of the telescope was not as smooth as it should be. There is a small error in the process of creation. The fix takes three years. The error seems to be trivial has been damaging to the performance of the Hubble telescope and throw away a lot of time and money.
Similarly the influence of the sins that are often considered "trivial". Solomon did not kill; No robbing; no corruption. He "only" love and marrying women-perampuan Moab, Amen, Edom, Sidon, and Het (paragraph 1). Is it true that it is simply "just"? No! His deeds grieve the heart of God, because he already gave orders: "ye shall not hang out with them and they do not get along with you, for behold they will mencondongkan your heart to God — their God" (verse 2). He failed to be faithful to the Lord, for his wife and his mistress it makes it no longer wholeheartedly clung to the Lord (verse 4). Any punishment meted out (vv. 11-13).
Are we still sort out, there is a grave sin and Sin trivial--that seems to be no harm and be bad on other people? Beware. Sin, whatever it is, is the rebellion to God. Something that makes us no longer clung to him. -ALS
