Literally, a missing of the mark, according to the Hebrew and Greek Bible texts. God himself sets the “mark” that his intelligent creatures are to reach. Missing that mark is sin, which is also unrighteousness, or lawlessness. (Rom. 3:23; 1 John 5:17; 3:4) Sin is anything not in harmony with God’s personality, standards, ways, and will, all of which are holy. It may involve wrong conduct, failure to do what should be done, ungodly speech, unclean thoughts, or desires or motives that are selfish. The Bible differentiates between inherited sin and willful sin, between an act of sin over which a person is repentant and the practice of sin.

Sin is a choice that goes against the laws of the universe. God teaches us how to behave so that we will have control over lesser beings - ie atoms, animals, plants, planets, etc. To sin is to act in a way that makes us one of the lesser beings.

Sin or suffering is simply a case of mistaken identity.

Sin is a crime against God. The Seven Deadly Sins are lust, gluttony, greed, laziness, wrath, envy, and pride.

The church teaches that sin is anything that separates you from God, self and others.

Disobedience to God. That was the original sin and it has never changed.
