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.
