Sin = missing the mark.
Sin is simply misunderstanding what is.

Sin is described in the Bible as transgression of the law of God (1 John 3:4) and rebellion against God (Deuteronomy 9:7; Joshua 1:18).

Sin is not a verb, as in .....to sin.
Sin is a force, a power, an influence within us.
It leads us to act in a way contrary to the manner in which God made us.
We are born with this force within us because the first man proved disobedient and we, in turn, inherit it.
When we give in to its pressure, we usually commit some unacceptable act and many think that act is a sin.
Technically, it is the result of not fighting the feeling.

A sin according to the 3 most konwn monotheist religions is:
A desobedience to God which is meant to be a negative action that will do wrong to everyone .
But the question is do these religions really know what"s right and what's wrong ?
I don't think that these religions know exactly what's good and what's bad

I'm Anglican and the Book of Common Prayer defines sin as doing my will instead of God's.

Sin (to me) is anything which prevents us from seeing the Truth, either by our own will or by passive acceptence.

Sin is doing the wrong thing when you know what the right thing to do is.

Sin is Lucifer using another person. Lucifer always goes for bodies. So, if we sin, we have been taken by Lucifer and need to have it removed.
