The first sin of man would be going outside the will of God. The "fruit" did not need to have any magical powers to become a litmus test for obediance. The knowledge of evil was imparted due to disobediance, not because of any chemical or biological property of the fruit.

There are sins of omission, which is a sin by NOT doing someting right. For example, not helping someone who requires assistance that you could offer.

There are sins of commission, which is doing something wrong. For example, stealing.

I'm not aware of a third kind.

First sin: God's disobedience.
Three types of sin:
1. the seed sin. That are lodged in the heart.
2. sin already manifested. when we are suffering.
3. sin ready to fructify. Will manifest very soon.

Pride was the first sin of Satan but Man`s first sin was disobediance,I know of only two types of sin,
1=Mortal sin
2=Venial sin.
To commit a serious sin (mortal) three things have to take place,first you must have full knowledge of the act,secondly you have to give full consent to the act,thirdly you then must commit the sin regardless of the first two.

1 John 2:16 says that the three types of sin are:
a) the lust of the flesh (desire for pleasure and avoiding discomfort)
b) the lust of the eyes (desire for things we find beautiful)
c) the pride of life

This is what sin is - "sin" isn't individual actions.

1Jo 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

More then three? There are lots of ways to sin. But we were given the law to keep us in line.

The three types are:

1) wearing orange
2) wearing corduroy
3) wearing velvet jogging sets

First sin? Realistically, it was probably lying.

I agree w/ Ocel... That's pretty much what I was gonna say. Only, all I could remember was Original and Personal sins... The first sin was Envy... Eve was envious of God's abilities, so she ate the forbidden fruit.

"Sin" is a concept with a long history. It begins millenia ago with a primitive tribe of savages conceiving of themselves as the "Chosen" of their particular totemic war god, yet subsequently enduring hardships, which leads them to the idea that they have "offended" their god. Hence the whole concept of the "covenant," which was a sort of primitive insurance policy to guarantee divine protection in exchange for following out a set of conventional dictates. Every time hardships occur, the tribal guilt-complex kicks in and refers them to the noncompliance with God's Law of the weaker brethren. In other words, "sin" is a concept invented by humans to explain why they continue to endure catastrophe in spite of their worship of the "true God," who is supposed to love and protect them. This idea reaches its zenith with the "Christian" concept of "Original Sin," in which the error is no longer even one's own, but the automatic inheritance of some imagined ancestor.

As for the "three types," I suppose you mean venial, mortal, and eternal. But of course it's worse than useless to worry about distinctions between purely imaginary qualities.

The question of morality is a separate point. True morality has nothing to do with the concept of sin. As children our parents disciplined us when we behaved badly, and this was necessary because we didn't know "right" from "wrong" for ourselves yet. Christianity, which conceives of "God" as a blown-up father figure, assumes that we still lack this discernment and need this sort of enforced discipline as adults. It doesn't trust people to behave morally on "first principles;" they need the threat of hellfire and the lure of heaven to stay in line. As such, Christianity is actually an amoral religion.
