the sin that most people talk about is actually a symptom of Sin. this sin would be doing things that are bad or against what God Says. Sin on the other hand is the separation of people from God caused by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.

Very simply Not believing God's words, his words are the Bible. To say you do not believe it or you believe only part of it says you are Living in SIn! Sins are all the things that a sinner does, because they do not believe the Bible or they only believe the parts they like and the rest are allegories. When you start reasoning with God's words you never know where you will end up

Sin is a term used mainly in a religious context to describe an act that violates a moral code of conduct or the state of having committed such a violation. In monotheistic religions, the code of conduct is determined by God. Colloquially, any thought, word, or act considered immoral, shameful, harmful, or alienative might be termed "sinful".

Heres an idea. Merriam Webster Dictionary Online. Try it.

Sin is putting our own selfish desires ahead of God's rules.
James 4:17 Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it sins.

According to the Bible... Sin is the transgression of Gods laws in the bible. ( so if you break one of the ten commandants you are sinning. That's as basic as it gets.

Sin is anger, sloath, envy, greed, gluttony, lust and pride (I think). Might I suggest finding and renting a movie called se7en to see what they actually are. It was released in 1995. Just want to forewarn you, it is rated R and is a violent movie.

Not following the rules. Not following the 10 commandments. Not honoring God and our fellow man. Not believing in Christ and the way of salvation.
