The Bible teaches degrees of sin. After all, if I intentionally exceed the speed limit to get to work on time, I'm sinning. Is this the same as killing six million Jews? All sins require forgiveness, to suggest all are the same is inane.

If you were speeding, that is an example of Mala prohibita
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malum_prohibitum
It is a crime against the law of the state. Poor judgment for sure, but no sin.
If you commit murder, that is an example of Mala in se
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malum_in_se
That is a crime against all humanity.

When it comes to quoting scripture, I'm definitely swimming in the shallow end of the pool so KC you're going to have to help me here. Other than the 10 Commandments, what are the degrees of sin in the Bible? Are the 10 Commandments written in order of degrees?
Not being factious. Really want to know.
Thanks.
