Sin is “any want of conformity unto or transgression of the law of God” (1Jo_3:4; Rom_4:15), in the inward state and habit of the soul, as well as in the outward conduct of the life, whether by omission or commission (Rom_6:12-17; Rom_7:5-24). Sin is not a mere violation of the law of our constitution, nor of the system of things, but an offense against a personal lawgiver and moral governor who vindicates his law with penalties.
God forgives all sins except the one sin that denies Him. This sin ascribes to God what Satan has done, in that a person blasphemes the Spirit God that has been sent to call a person to righteousness. By saying with full knowledge "I do not believe", a person has in effect participated in the very first lie told in Eden.

In my book a sin is something that harms the tribe or one of it's members. Not feeding a hungry person in times of plenty for instance. I read tribe to be all humanity for lack of a better smaller set of people.

The violation of a system of tribal taboos created by wandering desert nomads near Judea in the ancient Middle East.
Nothing I'm going to waste time being concerned about.

The definition or origin of the word "sin", means 'to miss the mark'.

sin is knowingly disobeying God. there is also sin by omission where you know what the right thing to do is but you dont do it. lucky for us we have a loving God who loves us and can forgive us of our sins. there is only one sin that is unforgivable....that is...not knowing Jesus as your personal savior. hope this helps. :)

It's something you find out about, personally, to your own cost by the time this is over.

Sin is anything you do where you are disobeying God.
You are sinning when you are living under your will not God's.

depends on your religion
in my religion (Islam) a sin is anything done that Allah (s) says not to do.
ex: lying, cheating, eating pork, drinking alcohol
