Yes, some sins are worse

All sins matter. But not all sins are the same. Every sin is ultimately an offense against God, and so it requires nothing less than the sacrificial death of the sinless Son of God to make atonement for it. Still, while every sin is heinous, they are not all equally heinous. Some do more damage, and are worse for you and others. Angrily running over my mailbox is not as bad as angrily running over me. When Jesus said that to even look at a woman with lust is adultery, he wasn’t saying you might as well go ahead and do it. The sin in your heart is bad, but to add the act adds more sin. And Jesus talked about some committing greater sin. There’s a difference in degree, a difference in progression, and a difference in consequences. The person struggling with sin is leaving God’s table and eating the world’s food. The person who defiantly stays in the sin is having the devil over for dinner every night, with a permanent place at the table.
