Sins that cry to Heaven for Vengeance
In Christian hamartiology, the sins that cry to Heaven for Vengeance (Latin: peccata clamantia, lit. 'screaming sins') are four specific sins which are listed by the Bible.
While the Bible only refers to specific acts by Biblical characters as "crying to Heaven for Vengeance", in Western Christianity, these references are expanded upon and treated as establishing a category of particularly serious sins. Along with the seven deadly sins and the eternal sins, the sins that cry to Heaven for Vengeance are the most serious transgressions against the Law of Christ.
