There are more ways for us to sin.
To name a few.
Doubting the word of God, is sin.
Failing to walk in faith, is sin.
Failing to obey the Spirit, is sin.
Doing what you think is wrong, is sin, even if it is not a sin for others to do.

Sin is obvious harm and damage done, from one individual to another.

If it is not obvious, it is not sin.
But the objective of this approach is to create failure and condemnation in an individual
so they can never achieve peace and reconciliation with Christ, because walking in His ways
is not the goal, rather condemnation and failure is, in the belief that staying condemned makes
you more believing Jesus provides the answer. But it denies there is a righteous walk, or love or
reality in someones heart that has real value.

Honour your mother and father
Do not murder
Do not commit adultery
Do not steal
Do not bear false witness
Do not covert
Exodus 20

These are obvious deeds.
Evil lifestyles -
sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler
1 Corinthians 5:11
lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious; for those who kill their
fathers or mothers, for murderers, for adulterers and perverts, for slave traders and liars and perjurers
1 tim 1:9-10

If one believes we are failures and lost, never able to show love, to be loved, to walk in holiness and purity,
little wonder the Lord cannot use us or help us because we are rejecting His cleansing, His purity, His victory
and His power.

Knowing what is sin, and what is knowledge of good and evil is an important step of faith and knowledge of
God, which many clearly have not learnt and spend all their time wallowing in failure and self pity.
 
You may think sin is obvious in everything, and nothing is Holy.
Things are Holy if purified, and fail to be Holy if defiled. It is hard to see this because we see
most things with our expectations not Gods. And our expectations are vastly more critical and
brutal, given a chance we decimate even how we say hello to someone else.

Any action can be viewed in many lights. My approach is to simplify everything into that which is
helpful and loving, and ignoring other views. Things are simple in love.
An individual has a need, you can spend time with them to help, to encourage, to share or you can
ignore it.

So many seem convinced of self defeat, and accepting whatever they do is not good enough.
But speaking from your heart, doing that which expresses appreciation of another and that you will
be there for them, is Gods heart and our own in Christ.

So many times the small angry moments, the wrong word, the blow up, defines everything, rather than
seeing things as they are, and walking in this as a blessing.

And the greatest blessing of all is to see people as they are, praising their strengths and blessings, and
helping them in their weaknesses.
