		God is not at all the cause of actual sins, such as are done, nor is he able to be said to be the cause.
		The devil is the cause of actual human sin, in so far as partly he places objects which invite to sinning before humans, partly he himself persuades, or provides plans for completing crimes, partly he excites certain fancies in fantasies, or also passions in the sensitive appetite by altered humors, which lead men to sin.
		Among humans the efficient cause of actual sin is the corrupt human nature itself or, speaking abstractly, that innate human perversity, consisting in the lack of original righteousness and in the depravity of concupiscence.

	Arminius' Works - ON ACTUAL SINS
		One is a sin per se, "of itself;" another, per accidens, "accidentally." (1.) A sin per se is every external or internal action which is prohibited by the law, or every neglect of an action commanded by the law.
		Sin is also divided into venial and mortal: but this distribution is not deduced from the nature of sin itself, but accidentally from the gracious estimation of God.
		The effect of actual sins are all the calamities and miseries of the present life, then death temporal, and afterwards death eternal.

	SUMMA THEOLOGICA: Are there several original sins in each man? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
		It would seem that there are many original sins in one man. For it is written (Psalm 1:7): "Behold I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother conceive me." But the sin in which a man is conceived is original sin.
		Wherefore in one man original sin is one in number; and in all men, it is one in proportion, i.e.
		Original sin infects the different parts of the soul, in so far as they are the parts of one whole; even as original justice held all the soul's parts together in one.

	SUMMA THEOLOGICA: Did God become incarnate to take away original sin rather than actual? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
		But actual sin is more grievous than original sin; for the lightest punishment is due to original sin, as Augustine says (Contra Julian.
		In another way a thing is said to be greater "extensively," as whiteness on a greater superficies is said to be greater; and in this way original sin, whereby the whole human race is infected, is greater than any actual sin, which is proper to one person.
		But the sin of the nature is as perfectly healed in each one as if it were healed in him alone.

	The Forgiveness of Sins
		Baptism was given to take away the sin inherited from Adam (original sin) and any sins we personally committed before baptism—sins we personally commit are called actual sins, because they come from our own acts.
		During his life, Christ forgave sins, as in the case of the woman caught in adultery (John 8:1—11) and the woman who anointed his feet (Luke 7:48).
		Fourth, the Catholic is assured that his sins are forgiven; he does not have to rely on a subjective "feeling." Lastly, the Catholic can also obtain sound advice on avoiding sin in the future.

	SACRAMENT OF PENANCE
		Sins we personally commit are called actual sins, because they come from our own acts.
		After recalling all of the sins to be confessed and mentally expressed genuine sorrow for them, the confessional or other place set aside for the celebration of the Sacrament is entered.
		V. After the sins are confessed, the priest counsels the penitent and asks the penitent to do a penance, usually some prayers or a charitable work.

		The disciples believed that Christ instituted the power to sacramentally forgive sins in his stead, we would expect the successors of the apostles-- that is, the bishops--and Christians of later years to act as though such power was legitimately and habitually exercised.
		Fourth, and in some ways the most important, the Catholic is assured that his sins are forgiven; he does not have to rely on a subjective "feeling." Lastly, the Catholic can also obtain sound advice on how to avoiding sin in the future, while the non-Catholic praying in private remains uninstructed.

	CONFESSION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
		Few are pardoned because they do not feel and confess their sins; and few are sanctified, or cleansed from all sin, because they do not feel and confess their own sore, and the plague of their hearts.
		One condition of pardon is that a person confess his sins, and one condition of cleansing is that the depravity of the heart be confessed and deplored.
		A sinner confesses his actual transgressions because he seeks forgiveness for them; but the Christian confesses his sin or depravity because it is this from which he now seeks to be delivered.

	SSPXAsia.com: Confession
		Penance is a Sacrament instituted by Jesus Christ, in which, by the ministry of the Priest, actual sins are forgiven, and the conscience is released from the bonds by which it may be bound.
		In this Sacrament, also, the eternal punishment due to sin is remitted, and a part or the whole of the temporal punishment, according to the disposition of the penitent.
		Sin, continued in, closes by degrees the door of divine mercy, until at last scarce any hope is left of obtaining pardon from God.

	Summa Theologica (XP_Q2_A3)
		Accordingly a sin also may be forgotten in two ways, either so as to remain in a general, but not in a particular remembrance, and then a man is bound to bethink himself in order to discover the sin, because he is bound to have contrition for each individual mortal sin.
		If, however, the sin has escaped from his memory altogether, then he is excused from his duty through being unable to fulfill it, and it is enough that he be contrite in general for everything wherein he has offended God.
		But when this inability is removed, as when the sin is recalled to his memory, then he is bound to have contrition for that sin in particular, even as a poor man, who cannot pay a debt, is excused, and yet is bound to, as soon as he can.

		The confession of sins is an essential part of worship for by it we acknowledge and praise the divine holiness, mercy and judgment.
		God is praised through the chanting of Psalms and Canticles, his Word is heard in the lessons from the Old and New Testaments and the prayers occur at the end beginning with the Collect of the day/week.

		He acknowledged the curse of total depravity associated with the fall of man and the fact of original sin, but regarded original sin as a "calamity, a disease, a natural defect, which involves no personal guilt, and is not punishable, until it reveals itself in actual transgression.
		It was in his view, the fruitful germ of actual sin, just as the inborn rapacity of the wolf will in due time prompt him to tear the sheep." Based on the biblical evidence, Zwingli's view merits serious consideration.
		The consequence of a fallen nature taken in conjunction with exposure to a sinful life-style, is a child that grows to adulthood manifesting the same sinful practices.

		They are the ones who have received the remission of their sins by believing that all their sins were forgiven by the works of Jesus manifested in the blue, purple, and scarlet thread and the fine woven linen.
		Whenever the righteous commits actual sins, they come to the laver in the court of the Tabernacle and wash their hands and feet, and they can thereby confirm the fact that Jesus has already forgiven all their actual sins also by believing in the written Word of God.
		The saints who have been saved from their sins by faith are clothed in God's grace by believing in the water of the laver (the baptism of Jesus), bronze (God's judgment of all sins), and that Jesus has delivered them from their sins.

	homily
		Actually, St. Thomas Aquinas preferred to use the word "vice" instead of "sin" when addressing this issue.
		Therefore, the capital sins or vices are indeed "capital" and grave because they are the source of particular actual sins, which may be mortal or venial; in turn, the repetition of actual sins, particularly mortal sins, leads to the spiritual corruption of the person, whose life is permeated by the vice.
		However, such a disposition differs from the person on "the ego trip" who is motivated to do something simply for future praise and recognition, or always has to talk about "I did this" and "I did that" so as to impress people and receive their praise.

	Kurt Eggenstein: The Forgiveness of Sins. Jesus' Actual Words to His Apostles
		"Where the confession of sins to a priest that you touched on is concerned, it is bad and should be condemned in its present form, for it does not reform men but merely makes them persist in their sins to the end of their lives.
		As already stated, the number of sins the church was interested in during the early centuries was very small; only publicly known major sins such as murder, apostasy and adultery were punished.
		In due course of time, catalogues of sins were compiled, and the number of sins kept growing, until finally, in the 18th century, the list comprised 17,348 sins.

	Gnosticism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		The error of Sophia, which is usually identified as a reckless desire to know the transcendent God, leads to the hypostatization of her desire in the form of a semi-divine and essentially ignorant creature known as the Demiurge (Greek: dêmiourgos, "craftsman"), or Ialdabaoth, who is responsible for the formation of the material cosmos.
		Indeed, Basilides goes so far as to assert that sin is the direct outcome of bodily existence, and that human suffering is the punishment either for actual sins committed, or even just for the general inclination to sin, which arises from the bodily impulses (cf.
		The Valentinian-Ptolemaic notion of salvation rests on the idea that the cosmos is the concrete manifestation or hypostatization of the desire of Sophia for knowledge of the Father, and the "passions" her failure produced.

		Further, sin is aggravated by the result that ensues from it: wherefore Jerome says [St.
		contrition, essentially regards past sins alone; but, inasmuch as it acquires something of the act of prudence, it regards future sins indirectly, although it is not essentially moved towards those future sins.
		The consequent result which aggravates a sin was already present in the act as in its cause; wherefore when the sin was committed, its degree of gravity was already complete, and no further guilt accrued to it when the result took place.

		That they may obtain in the water the remission of sins formerly committed, there is pronounced over him who chooses to be born again and has repented of his sins, the Name of God the Father and Lord of the universe.
		Bearing your sins, you go down into the water; but the calling down of grace seals your soul and does not permit that you afterwards be swallowed up by the fearsome dragon.

		Actual sins and all the punishment due to them are remitted by Baptism, if the person baptized be guilty of any.
		But suppose a person is not baptized till he is twenty-five or thirty years old; he has surely committed some sins since he was seven years of age-the time at which he received the use of reason.

		Objection 2: Further, pain of sense is not due to original sin, but merely pain of loss, as has been shown (FS, Q[87], A[5]).
		But Christ came to suffer the pain of sense on the Cross in satisfaction for sins---and not the pain of loss, for He had no defect of either the beatific vision or fruition.
		But "greater" is said in two ways: in one way "intensively," as a more intense whiteness is said to be greater, and in this way actual sin is greater than original sin; for it has more of the nature of voluntary, as has been shown (FS, Q[81], A[1]).

		The effects of baptism are the removal of the guilt of sin and all punishment due to sin, conferral of the grace of regeneration and the infused virtues, incorporation into Christ and his Church, receiving the baptismal character and the right to heaven.
		Baptism remits the guilt of all sins, that is, it takes away all sins, whether original sin as inherited from Adam at conception, or actual sin as incurred by each person on reaching the age of reason.
		No matter how frequent, or how grave the actual sins may be, their guilt is all removed at baptism.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Paul
		This man is obviously Adam, the sin which he brought into the world is not only his personal sin, but a predominating sin which entered into all men and left in them the seed of death: "All sinned when Adam sinned; all sinned in and with his sin" (Stevens, "Pauline Theology", 129).
		It remains to be seen how original sin which is our lot by natural generation, manifests itself outwardly and becomes the source of actual sins.
		Paul says to the neophytes: "Thanks be to God, that you were the servants of sin, but have obeyed from the heart unto that form of doctrine, into which you have been delivered.
