Sin for me may not be sinful to you. may be the total opposite. Sin also connects us to the idea of hell. If sin cannot be determined/identified then hell cannot be determined as well. What is your say?

I am not referring to any holy book over here. Bible, Turah and The Quran basiclally sing the same song. What is your idea of sin or not sin?

many of you assumed I was Christian. I was born Muslim but I follow nobody's God, Just my God. Only one GOD. I do not follow any religion.

Sin is a purely human construct, designed by early church leaders to promote their patriarchal agenda and rule the masses through fear-based lives.
Hell does not exist. Not as some physical place that God condemns us to. Hell is a state of mind and we put ourselves there with useless guilt. God doesn't want us to wallow in guilt, but to live in joy and love.

Sin is doing something you know goes against God. I don't think it's sin if you do something and not realize it's wrong - but if you realize it's wrong and keep doing it, you're sinning.
There are some things that may not be sinful in their own right, but can lead to sin. Drinking alcohol, for example, isn't sinful. But the Bible says drunkenness is. One person may be able to enjoy alcohol in moderation, but another may have a harder time with it and need to stay away from the stuff. That doesn't have anything to do with whether there is a heaven and a hell, though.
There are some black and white absolutes in this world, even if it isn't popular to say that anymore. Going against God leads to sin every time and that's the path to hell.

Sin by the biblical definition is "missing the mark" that is God's mark. Anything that doesnt meet his standards as laid out in the bible is sin. This is why we are ALL sinners, because no one can live about it. Jesus was the only one who did and therefore, he alone can satisfy Gods demands, and thus becomes our saviour.
All religions have some variation of this. So sin is always prevelant So, to say there is no heaven or hell is to say there are no absolute wrongs or rights.
The answer lies within your own religious convictions.

Sin is anything that comes between someone and God. It is true that some things may be a sin for me but not for you. Many, many sins are listed in the Bible and those are listed for everyone.

A "sin" is an act against God. What is classified as "sin" is defined by God in terms through the Holy Bible. Maybe you should open yours (if you own a copy lol).

Quite simply - a "sin" is when you "miss the mark". It basically means you fell short of expectations. We all sin everyday. The only difference is that some people have to account for thier own sin and others have decided to trust Christ and allow His sacrifice to cover our sin. So in the end, some will have sin and others won't. But we all "fall short of the glory of God" which is why Jesus had to do what He did!

Sin is anything God disapproves of.We individually are to be acknowledging the Lord in all our way and letting him direct our paths so
what the Lord has given you a peace to do might not be the same as me.you are right about that, the hell thing sounds to me like you are on track.

Sin is going against what God has decreed, as in the commands, Sin is also what ever your heart condemns you of for instance you might think it is sin to eat meat so for you eating meat is a sin because your heart condemns you. But to say that what God has clearly called sin and has clearly banished in his word that is just crazy, how do you ever except to be free from sin if you will not claim to be a sinner? Who ever sins is a slave to that sin.

"Sin" is hurting others. Don't do things that hurt others. Shouldn't be as tough to figure out as it is. Sometimes we have to back away from the church for a bit and take a look around us at real life. "Do unto others" is my favorite. I love the message. If you don't like being treated in some way then don't treat others in the same manner. Good advice.
