I dont believe in big sins and little sins.All disobedience of Gods word is sin. But unlike ordinary sin, which is often committed in ignorance or on the spur of the moment, iniquity is premeditated sin which is engaged in with full knowledge, often with defiance and even contempt. iniquity is open and wilful defiance of the Gods law. It is intentional sin.
iniqity-
anomia an-om-ee'-ah
illegality, (generally) wickedness: unrighteousness.

Really? Most people do. E.g., I think stealing is a smaller sin than murder. Also, I think stealing $100 from a poor family is worse than stealing $1000 from a millionare. Don't misunderstand me, though: they are both wrong. But it's kind of like the widow who gave everything she had gave "more" than the rich show-offs. In reverse, kinda.
