Answer 2

Sin is a deliberate thought, word, deed, or omission contrary to the eternal law of God.

In other words, sin is anything that hurts your relationship with God.

Here are the seven holy virtues as opposites to the seven deadly sins. According to Dante's The Divine Comedy the sins have an order of greatness, and the virtues a respective order of greatness as well. This order is shown below from the lowest to the highest.

+ Holy Virtues +
Chastity (purity)
Moderation (self-restraint)
Generosity (vigilance)
Zeal (enthusiasm)
Meekness (composure)
Charity (giving)
Humility (humbleness)

+ Deadly Sins +
Lust (inappropriate desire)
Gluttony (over-indulgence)
Greed (avarice)
Sloth (laziness)
Wrath (anger)
Envy (jealousy)
Pride (vanity)

The history of this list goes back at least to Pope St. Gregory the Great and St. John Cassian, but while the list itself is not strictly biblical, the Bible proscribes all seven.

With love in Christ.

Answer 3

"Morality" is a narrow and self-imposed set of rules for right and wrong. Everywhere in human history there has been a society that considers any given act to be moral and immoral. One respondent said "murder"; obviously he's never read about ancient Aztec, Mayan, and Incan cultures.

Consquently, something one person says is immoral is another's immorality; christianazis are adamantly against abortion, but they don' t care one whit about that child they "saved" from abortion starving to death. Is a woman who takes a morning after pill or uses a condom *really* a murderer?

The only moral imperatives in nature are to survive and propagate, and the only universal human morality is the "golden rule" ("do unto others", etc.); every society on every continent has had that one. Anything else is local preferences we learned from others.
