In this paper, Ming Jesuit Shi Pangdi my "seven grams of" home of Neo-Confucianism Liu Zongzhou with "human spectrum" as the center of Jesus Confucian dialogue, "crime" with the "off" made ​​a comparative study. This paper discusses three aspects, first of all, God in Aquinas's philosophy background, explain the word out "seven grams of" the "crime" of thinking. Secondly, Liu Zongzhou system of thought, to explain the "spectrum of people" in the "off" idea. Finally, not only that the Lord both in Confucianism "crime", "over" ideological differences, but also in their religious and cultural traditions, to find similarities, and can understand each other, through the Department will come to the following conclusion: Although due to different beliefs and cultural traditions, "crime" and "off" there are some differences between, but there are many things in common, can be understood through each other, and thus inspire each other, learn from each other, through learn from each other to enrich the development of their "crime", "off" theory. This article is a comparative study of sin and wrongdoing implied in the dialogues between Catholicism and Confucianism during late Ming Dynasty in China. The texts of comparison are the Qike by Diego de Pantoja, a Jesuit missionary, and Renpu by Liu Zongzhou, an idealistic philosopher in late Ming Dynasty. This study is divided into three parts. The first part is an exploration of the discourse on sins in the texts of Qike within the context of Thomas Aquinas' theology. The second part , correspondingly, is an exploration of the discourse on the wrongdoing in the texts of Renpu within Liu Zongzhou's philosophical framework. The last part is a comprehensive evaluation of the divergence on the thought of sin and wrongdoing between two religions and the convergence which may bring about mutual understanding. Consequently, this study proves that even though the discourse of sin and that of wrongdoing represent two different traditions and their divergences do exist, many convergences can be disclosed through the comparative study. Hopefully, this study will bring about fruitful mutual understanding, enrichment and enlightenment for each other on the topic of sin and wrongdoing
