I see sin as a man made creation. A list of crafted rules intended to control the masses.
Immoral is that which you already know is wrong.

I have to second what some others have said. "Sins" are made up by human beings as a tool to create guilt.
Morals are the instinctual, intuitive understandings of what benefits the greater good.
There are many more so-called sins than there are things that are actually immoral. Take gay sex - thought by many to be a "sin" but in reality, not immoral at all.

God has given an eternal/absolute definition of SIN.
The people of the keep creating definitions of what is immoral. Their definitions change as they leave God further behind.

Sin is wrong doing of any kind e.g bad thoughts, attitudes, rudeness to others etc.
Immoral behaviour is sin also, but they are things such as having sex before marriage, cheating on a husband or wife etc. abortion.

Immoral - stuff that hurts other people
sinful - stuff the god of the person speaking said not to do

sins are based on individual man made rules........immoral is more something that society regardless or religion would find offensive or wrong.

immoral is something that's universally unacceptable.
sinful is just a Jewish/Christian/Muslim idea.
This is just my opinion though.
