Every leaving creature that thinks god exist will justify any ugly act in bible with reasons that we don’t know but presumably good. Ok I agree God’s internal reasons are so cute and incredibly beautiful that I have tears in my eyes. I agree.
The question is: What is the sin than? Since we love to justify every bad act with good reason than it seems that sin is not committing the bad act, sin is the reason to commit that act. Killing its self is not bad. Reasons why we kill are bad. AM I right so far?
So, what happens if we have bad reasons in our mind but we don’t commit the act? Do we still sin?

Good question. Is it ok to kill a muslim extremist just becase congress and the president say it's ok to do so? Is it ok if you kill one as collateral damage? If it's the thought or the reasoning behind the act that is the sole consequence for justifying the result, can we then do as we please if we or the majority of society feels it's ok? Love thy neighbor, turn the other cheek, do unto others, etc. Doesn't correspond with what stated in the above scriptures. Is it your duty to protect yourself, your property and your family? My guess is you have to do like most christians have been doing since the start. Pick and choose what best fits your need at the time. It is the word of God but it sure is ambiguous.

certain. it is talked about as Divine Laziness, and Ignorant layout. Ignorant layout comes into it even as people answer a thoroughly diverse question to what changed into requested, or go with to rant instead of answering. a superb get mutually I once had turned right into a shrink'n'paste that crammed the web page, yet did not answer the question in any respect. i have also had some those who thoroughly overlook with reference to the question itself, and only say stuff like 'I agree'. ok, you compromise. honest sufficient, now may you go with to inform me your answer at any time? Divine Laziness is the different tremendous non secular reason behind no longer interpreting. It takes the kind of a question format (i will scouse borrow your get mutually): Q: Why do not Xs ever look to tolerate Ys? QD: i do not for my section imagine there is many Xs who dislike Ys, it is only a small minority who tend to be quite rude and disgusting of their attitudes. A case of the noisiest few, to have the capacity to speak. what's your opinion in this? A: we are no longer ALL like that!!! stop being so judgemental!! ummmm.....study IT next TIME!!!! lol. ((((hugs))))

There are several words in Hebrew that are translated as sin, iniquity and/or transgression. But the short answer to your question is we are, by our very nature, sin. Like Jesus said to the Jews that believed in Him, "You are of your father the devil." There is no good in you (or any human). I've written a little on the subject. You can read a more thourough discussion on the Biblical understanding of sin on my website:

Sin is an outdated concept. It is a means for religions to set standards so high that people feel guilty. This builds unity in a church and keeps attendance up.

Yes we still sin.
Sin is not anything any more specific than not following Gods commandments. Jesus said that if you are sinning in your mind, then you are sinning, period.
Sinning means "disobedience". If you dont obey God, you sin.

sin is to participate in any action whether internal or external that causes annoyence and miscomfort for yourself and others.so it is not really needed to be believe in god.just trying to avoid offending yourself and others is enough but the use of belief is that help you to be persistent to avoid commeeting sins.

I guess we sin either other way but it never hurts to stop sinning in little things

That's a tough one, one that there may be no answer to until we die and God can answer when we meet him in heaven.
