What is the difference between moral and venison sins?

Moral and venison sins are similar in that they all occur in and around hunting season. First for the venison sins:

• Hunting without a tag.
• Hunting with a tag but in the wrong area.
• Killing a buck when you only have a doe tag.
• Hunting with a rifle during bow season.
• Not letting the meat age properly
• Using a fork to turn the meat instead of tongs.
• Overcooking the meat.
• Not letting the meat rest after cooking.

Likewise, there are several moral sins:

• Hunting in a "No Hunting" area.
• Shooting another hunter's mule because your scope is dirty.
• Realizing you forgot to get a tag—rifle or bow—and figuring you'll just wrestle a buck to death.
• Finding a hunting camp with two F-550s, 14 American flags, and camouflaged everything and deciding to just steal their deer.
• Tracking blood into the house.
• Smothering the meat with gravy.
• Not inviting me over when you serve venison steaks.
• Hanging your deer by the hind legs in the garage and then telling your kids it's Prancer.

The Bible teaches that God will forgive both the venison and moral sins of a Christian. Some religions teach there are sins God won't forgive, in addition to a long list that He will, but the concept of mortal and venial sins isn't biblical. The only sin God doesn't forgive is living your whole life without accepting Jesus as your Lord and savior.
