define sin

By joelpj

Below are a few definitions of sin I could think of:

Christian
- Breaking God’s rules
- Falling short of God’s holiness
- To not love the Lord with all your heart, soul, strength, mind
- Being your own God
- Basing your identity on anything but God
- Turning a good thing into an ultimate thing

Secular
- Committing a crime
- Oppressing another person
- Anything that leaves a guilty conscience
- Upsetting the common good

Are there more?
Does any one define them all?
