Roman Catholic AnswerNo, "He who knows his brother is committing a sin that is not until death, shall ask, and shall give life to him who does not commit a sin unto death. There is a sin unto death; I do not mean that anyone should ask as to that." 1 St. John 5:16 (Douay-Rheims) The sin unto death is mortal, the sin not unto death is venial. Venial is the Church's word for it, but the construct is Biblical, read St. John's first letter.

Are temptations Venial Sins?

According to Roman Catholicism, a venial sin (meaning "forgivable" sin) is a lesser sin that does not result in a complete separation from God and eternal damnation in Hell. A venial sin involves a "partial loss of grace" from God. Then, a temptation is the act of tempting or the condition of being tempted or something tempting or enticing. It can be a venial sin if you are thinking of doing it, but if you are just being tempted and not falls to it. it is not a venial sin. Thus, it depends upon the situation. Hope this helps.
