For instance many laws may be like traffic regulations.If you violate them you may get into trouble.But they are subject to change.We dont say a violation is a sin.What is the other kind that is for all time to come and for all of humanity --You may call it a divine law.

This is a short answer to a longer question, but some legal violations are simply not violations of natural law (things like jaywalking), while some are clearly against the laws of God (or nature, if you prefer) -- things like child molestation or incest.
I believe the Latin for the former is mala in prohibitum (wrong b/c it's prohibited), and for the latter is mala in se (wrong by its nature). Hope this helps.

The 'law' of mankind is probably the social thing, I mean considering the perverse to the diverse. The ethical laws are best described in the ten comandments. Ouch.

Ethical laws are absolete now really when you think about it, crimes against nature are found when a child is denied education because of their skin, when a man cant take care of himself for fear of judgement and when we stop caring for a person simply because they are strange to us.
