what do you mean by sin ?

Sin is a myth promoted by whatever religious authority is in power at any given time in any given culture. What may be considered sin by one culture may be perfectly acceptable by another.

Sin by one definition, however, is that which transgresses your personal ethics. It can be best described as anything that crosses the line you have drawn for yourself in the sand. Sin can also be described as anything that causes guilt. No guilt, no sin.

Going against God's laws, the Bible says this in 1 John 3:4

Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

Sin is the breaking of God's law

1 John 3:4 - Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.

Sin is made known by God's 10 Commandment Law

Romans 7:7 - What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”

James 1:22-25 - But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.

We will be judged by this law, which is also called the law of liberty.

James 2:8-12 - If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,”you do well; but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors. For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,”also said, “Do not murder.”Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty.

We are not saved by keeping the law, but we keep the law because we are saved. Good works are an essential part of salvation: It is the fruits (results) of salvation.

We work FROM our salvation, not FOR our salvation.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 - All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Sin is anything that goes against the will of God- from something has obvious as murder or adultery, to something like saying a white lie to someone. Sin separates us from a holy God- Jesus paid the price so that we can be restored into the relationship that He created us to have.

Anything which favor Anti Humanity or not in the favor of Humanity is a SIN.

Like Hurting anyone physically or mentally is a SIN and doing something Anti Human Act is also a SIN.

Do everything in favor of Humanity.

Our world need it.

Best of Luck

Anything done against the will of the God is a sin

My personal belief is that you kind of define your own sin. some example, to me:

Homosexuality is not a sin

Sex is not a sin

Drinking is not a sin

Murder (in any way) is a sin

Eating meat is a sin (personal conviction)

Addiction is a sin

I got to a point where I had to decide for myself what is right and wrong.

Hebrews 9:27-28

(27) And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

(28) So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

The pure evil that lives within your heart, and carried out by your actions. Sin can only occur against God not against MAN. Cannot sin against something that is your equal.
