It is not acceptable to sin for a good cause. However, doing something that is usually sinful for a serious good cause can make the act non-sinful. For example, lying is usually sinful. But if I am sitting outside George's house waiting for him, and a guy with a gun comes running up and yells "WHERE'S THAT S.O.B. GEORGE!!!!! And I say "he won't be home until 5:00, that doesn't count as a lie. It counts as saving someone's life. If I "told the truth", I would be guilty of accessory to murder. It's called "the lesser of two evils"
First, I can't even tell what "The Greater Good" or “All sins are equal" is supposed to mean.
Anyway, no it is not acceptable to sin for a good cause.
"And why not say (as we are slanderously reported and as some claim that we say), “Let us do evil that good may come”? Their condemnation is just." - Romans 3:8.
Depends on what you call the greater good. Killing people in war to protect your country is not a sin if you ask me so you can use that as an analogy for other situations and interpret it your own way
All sins are equal and forgivable except for the ONE "unforgivable" sin ... which is that of not WANTING TO BE forgiven. It is NOT acceptable to sin in the "cause" of good. But you need to remember that those sins are already forgiven by God!
Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.” (John 20:28-29)
There is no good and evil. Only truth. All is relative. The only way you can see the truth if rid your mind of all preconceptions and prejudice. Nothing or no one but yourself will help you find it.

MARANATHA! Come, Lord Jesus, COME!
No its not acceptable to sin. And yes all sins are equal because all it takes is just 1 sin to make you unholy in God's eyes.
God standard is be holy or else you are unholy.
God says we need His help to be holy. We can't be holy as God want us to be by our own efforts. God do not want unholy people to live with Him.
To start the process of becoming worthy to live with God after death, a person must repent of sins, seek forgiveness and accept Jesus.
In Christianity it is a sin to be human.
So if you want to stop, you will have to stop being human.
Sin is fiction, invented to sell a fictional cure.
Don't buy it
You need to define sin..there's only appropriate and inappropriate behaviour.
There is no good and evil. Only truth. All is relative. The only way you can see the truth if rid your mind of all preconceptions and prejudice. Nothing or no one but yourself will help you find it.
My sins are less than others sins.
its best to sin and not know it
