Reply To: Can the severity of a sin be learned from the severity of the punishment?

Your position was (is?) since the torah doesnt give it a severe punishment it isnt so bad.
Is (unless otherwise sourced)

You seem to have come around somewhat “In דיני שמים unquestionably he is rotting permanently.”
Even though based on punishment is act isnt so bad. Something tells you that although technicly he may be able to get off in a beis din. his crime his still terrible, if not actual murder “it’s just one step below murder.”
No. As I posted previously.
It’s less severe than many other sins. However the grand scale that he did the smaller sin on, adds up.
Do you need me to source for you the idea that one sin plus one sin equals two sins and therefore equals more punishment?
Look around in the seforim that discuss the upcoming holiday in a week and a half and then the next holiday seven days later, there is lots of talk about putting all the sins on a scale, being half good and half bad, buckets of sins,..
Take your sick. There is plenty written to tell you that two sins is worse than one.
So yes someone who incited others to mass murder, will pay dearly for it in the next world. But had he done the murders himself, it would be even worse for him.
Don’t see how that is different than anything I’ve been saying all along
