Heres Your enlightenment. Sheryl...
The most GROSS INJUSTICE is to say that Righteous Judge of all the Universe, is wrong in any judgment. That is precisely what we do whenever we excuse or cover our sin. Excusing one's sin is iniquity. When we cover our own sin or excuse our sin, or rationalize our sin, or fail to agree with God that our sin is sin, we turn that sin into iniquity. Adam's sin of eating the forbidden fruit turned to iniquity when he said in Gen 3:12 ...,"The woman whom Thou gavest to be with me, she gave me.."

Sin= anything that is against God.
Iniquity=what we desire to do to please God "our" way, not His.
"Religion".

Sin is what we commit against God. Iniquity is a description of sin.

Sin must be defined as deliberate disloyalty to Deity . Iniquity is sin bordering on cosmic insanity.

there is no difference - sin is sin - that is from the scriptures
iniquity is an 'older' word (king James version) for a 'newer' word (sin)

I don't really know the difference, I thought they were the same.
What instrument are you playing, the picture is to small, is it a Banjo? I havn't touched mine for years.

iniquity?
Iniquity is gross sin.
There are sins worse than others.
For instance, adultery and other fornications are worse than, sins we do due to our inherit imperfections.
