Those are the 10 MAJOR sins. There are others, but basically all others can be conformed into those catagories.

The first thing that someone should be considering is whether the idea of sin is actually real.
If God is supposed to be perfect how could She have made anything or anyone that wasn't.
Think about it. The idea of sin assumes certain things about God that seem highly unlikely.
All this talk about sin sounds like a bunch of nonsense to me.
First it assumes a God who is too incompetent to organize a simple educational field excursion and figure out a way to get all of the students home safely.
How likely is this that God would not be smart enough to come up with a plan for our salvation that is going to work?
It also assumes that God must have created us imperfect if we are sinners.
One might assume that God would be able to create someone perfect each and every time if he chose to. Assuming God is capable of this, then it follows logically that we must be perfect creations if we are actually creations of this perfect God.
Unless of course you are saying that God chose to create us imperfect.
If God created us imperfect then anything that may go wrong is Gods fault, not ours. This seems a bit illogical at best so I think that we need to assume that What God creates would have to be perfect.
If this is the case and Gods creations are perfect, then nothing that we can do could change what God created perfect and make it imperfect unless we think that we are more powerful than God is.
How likely is it that we the creation could be more powerful than the creator. I personally find this idea somewhat amusing, and a bit absurd.
Religion tells us that God is perfect. If this is true then it could hardly be logically for Gods creations to be considered to be anything less than perfect.
If this is the case then Nothing that we can ever do could possibly change this perfection that God willed, unless we were so powerful that our choices could override and change the will of God.
How likely is that????
Think about it.
The idea of sin is simple nonsense; a lie made up about God by religion.

specific. Adam and Eve committed the 1st sin and that they have been removed from the backyard of Eden as area of the punishment for his or her sin. God rightfully and righteously demands ethical perfection, for he's appropriate. He calls us to be holy, to no longer try the bounds of sin.

Ephesians 2:15 Through his body on the cross, Christ put an end to the law with all its commands and rules. He wanted to create one new group of people out of the two. He wanted to make peace between them.
Galatians 2:16 We know that no one is made right with God by obeying the law. It is by believing in Jesus Christ. So we too have put our faith in Christ Jesus. That is so we can be made right with God by believing in Christ, not by obeying the law. No one can be made right with God by obeying the law.
Galatians 2:21 I do not get rid of the grace of God. What if a person could become right with God by obeying the law? Then Christ died for nothing!
Gal 5:4 Some of you are trying to be made right with God by obeying the law. You have been separated from Christ. You have fallen away from God’s grace.
Jesus said he didn’t come to destroy the law, but to fulfill it. (Matt 5:17) The effect was the same.
The 10 commandments along with the rest of the law were "set aside" when they were fulfilled or completed at Jesus' resurrection.

There are 620 "Commandments" most of them are mentioned in the Old Testiment. They cover everything from Not cutting your hair to not eating shrimp to not sleeping with your wife while she is bleeding.
Christians tend to forget all the inconvenient ones.

no, Those are the laws handed down to God's people when they first entered the desert., although almost any sin or lawbreaking comes from one of those ten.

It really doesn't matter.
According to the Bible, as long as you repent afterward, you can do just about anything you want.
Hitler could have gone to Heaven if he repented before he died.
