Not the Way It's supposed to be: A Breviay of Sin

Definition of Sin

A sin may refer to an action or behavior of a person that is against the will of God. Religious scriptures and values clearly identify actions, considered as sins. The performance of sin directly relates to religious doctrines, as every sin has its association with moral and ethical values presented in a religion. There is a relation between God and human beings, when a person commits a sin, it weakens this relationship.

They were seized of themselves, the knowledge of good and evil, they were separated from each other and their notable deaths. Children of Adam inherited their sinful, rebellious nature from their parents. Every person born today is a sinner.
