Roman Catholic Answer

You, under your own power, can not avoid committing the seven deadly sins. The seven deadly sins are the mothers of all sins, we are fallen creatures, with a fallen nature, and Satan is constantly tempting us, telling us that we are too weak to even try.

The only way to overcome the seven deadly sins, or any sin for that matter is to make a real, concerted effort, each day, every day, all day long, to live a Christian life. You start by acknowledging your sinfulness and going to confession. If you are not already a Christian, you start by going to lessons and being baptised. After confession, which should not be made lightly, get a good book to help you make a good confession (see the links below), then make a good confession every week or two for the rest of your life. When you are in a state of grace, make a good Holy Communion. And pray, at least 30 to 60 minutes every single morning before doing anything. Get on your knees, acknowledge your fallen nature, and ask God, most sincerely for his help. You will have to continue praying every day, going to confession every week or two, and Holy Communion at least once a week.

The third book below, Introduction to the Devout Life is an excellent way to start on this journey to God. Good luck on your journey, you are in my prayers each day!

What are the punishments in hell for those who commit the 7 deadly sins?

In Christian theology, the punishments in hell for those who commit the 7 deadly sins are often depicted as eternal suffering and torment. Each sin is associated with a specific punishment, such as greed leading to being boiled in oil, or wrath resulting in being dismembered. These punishments are meant to symbolize the consequences of living a sinful life and straying from God's teachings.

What would happen if you committed the 7 deadly sins?

. The seven deadly sins is a catechetical formula used by the Church since very early times to show the root of all sins. First, pride, and then the rest are categories or "root" sins, so to speak. They are a handy way of teaching the various sins to people to show them what to avoid, along with their opposite virtues - which we must practice. To "commit" a deadly sin is to sin. To sin seriously is to kill the life of grace in your soul, in other words, to cut yourself off from God's mercy and condemn yourself to hell. So, for instance, with the sin of gluttony: to make a glutton of yourself on a regular basis, forming a habit and constituting yourself as a glutton would be to commit a mortal sin which cut you off from heaven. To indulge in a dessert once too often would be significantly less serious. So to commit one of the 7 deadly sins would be to sin, and the consequences would be the same as any sin. To commit all of them would be to seriously cut yourself off from the life of grace, and the love of God.
