All of the Seven Deadly Sins are forgivable. Greed is one of the Seven and has it's own category.
seven deadly sins, also called
seven capital sins or
seven cardinal sins, in
Roman Catholic theology, the seven vices that spur other
sins and further immoral behaviour. First enumerated by Pope
Gregory I (the Great) in the 6th century and elaborated in the 13th century by
St. Thomas Aquinas, they are (1)
vainglory, or pride, (2)
greed, or covetousness, (3)
lust, or inordinate or illicit sexual desire, (4)
envy, (5)
gluttony, which is usually understood to include drunkenness, (6)
wrath, or anger, and (7)
sloth. Each of these can be overcome with the seven corresponding
virtues of (1) humility, (2) charity, (3)
chastity, (4) gratitude, (5) temperance, (6) patience, and (7) diligence.
The seven deadly sins can be thought of as
dispositions toward sin and separation from God. Lust, for example, could result in
adultery, which is a
mortal sin, or could lead to somewhat less intentional immoral thoughts that would be classified as
venial sins. The deadly sins were a popular theme in the
morality plays, literature, and art of the
Middle Ages in Europe.

Now, I am not Christian and my path in some ways is a bit more stringent in some areas and less so in others. I have been celibate for 10 years. Because people. I give people 1.5 stars and strongly do not recommend. Also a soul sucking job. I am heterosexual. I don't care what other people do providing it's between human adults that are capable of making a consensual choice. There will never be a point where I will need to confirm or deny to Spirit what Sue did on 10/14/17 and what the hell did I do about it. However, Christianity can be a bit tricky on the surface.
Adulteries. There are some strange situations out there. If you have a "Christian wife" that recognizes that her partner is really for the streets but she stays because of the money and she sets up threesomes to keep him, where does that lie? What if that money has been helpful for her mother as well. Her intentions in trying to keep him? His intentions? The mother's intentions? It's more acceptable for her to be bisexual than him. She could always hold it over his head. OTOH, she has opened the door for him to treat her anyway that he wants to.
If you have a guy (or woman) that is HIV positive but doesn't tell anyone and then is intentionally infecting others then where does he or she wind up in that above situation? This individual infects one of the above parties after they have had sex in jail or maybe in that 3 some. The male or husband in the above situation has been living in fear because homosexuality has been defined as one act since the Kinsey reports and he is now questioning his own sexuality. A lot of denial because he will be condemned by his community as they are vehemently against it.
For each of the individuals they are a main character in their life and a bit player in another's life. Even the community at large that has condemned homosexuality to such a degree that the man is in fear and denial plays a part. I can absolutely see how one of the Seven can lead to another. Intention is huge. It's requires accountability and constant self examination.
I shouldn't have to say this but people. In no way, shape or form would I imply that this is what Sue was up to at any time.
