You Christians think Adam and Eve were sinless until they ate the fruit. So therefore it wasn't a sin to eat the fruit. Instead it was simply disobeying God.
So, what's the difference between sin and disobeying God? If they are the same, then what does it mean to say Adam and Eve were sinless until after they ate the fruit when it was a sin to eat it. They sinned in their sinless period.
If they are different, then you can disobey God without sinning. Which commands are you allowed to disobey without committing sin? How would I go about doing that now?

sin is breaking any of Gods laws

Adam and Eve had not sinned yet, but they had the potential to sin, because of free will.
We are now in the Age of Grace, after Jesus died, and so some of the old Jewish laws are no longer necessary, like the sacrificing of lambs. Some of the Jewish laws were made by Jews, and not God, such as ones involving the Sabbath (you can't carry your bed so far, etc.) Other than laws like those, all the commandments and laws are still applicable, and disobeying God is sin.

Sin IS disobeying God. Disobeying God IS sin. No matter how you turn it back to front, inside out, upside down. Sin and disobeying God are one and the same. When you do one you do the other.
Sorry, it may suck, but that's the way the cookie crumbles!

At the time, that was the only sin available to them. Sin is:
Disobeying or not conforming to God's law in any way. after they ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, they had sinned and were free to sin continually.

Think of sin as a stain of disobediance. Once sinned, they were stained. It was possible for them to sin though hadnt sinned yet. To be sinless means that you havent sinned, not that youre not capable of it.

Transgressions is a sin. and Jesus died on the cross to save us from sin. but god gave people the right to act freely god. god gave us a template to live our lives in a Christian manner. but in time immemorial people have committed sins. And it will be that way.

Your logic is flawed.
The act of eating the fruit introduced humanity to sin. Ergo, the moment of consumption is the moment of sin. Disobediance is sin. Sin is disobediance.

Sin IS disobeying God! When God says "don't" and you do it anyways...that's what sin is.
Some sins are more serious than others, but disobeying God is always sin.
