Sin
(Redirected from Sinfully)
Sin is a term used in various religious contexts to describe an act that is considered morally wrong or against divine law. The concept of sin varies greatly among different religions and philosophical systems. In many traditions, sin is often associated with feelings of guilt, shame, or regret. The consequences of sin can range from divine retribution to spiritual growth and self-improvement.
Etymology[edit | edit source]
The English word "sin" is derived from the Old English "synn," which in turn comes from the Proto-Germanic "*sunjō." The term is related to the Old Norse "synd," the Old High German "sunt," and the Gothic "sonjis," all of which mean "sin" or "guilt."
Religious perspectives[edit | edit source]
Different religions have different views on what constitutes a sin and how it should be dealt with.
Christianity[edit | edit source]
In Christianity, sin is viewed as a violation of God's moral law and is seen as an act of rebellion against God. The concept of original sin, which refers to the fallen state of human nature, is central to Christian theology.
Islam[edit | edit source]
In Islam, sins are classified into major sins (kabira) and minor sins (sagira). Major sins include actions like murder and adultery, while minor sins are everyday wrongdoings.
Judaism[edit | edit source]
In Judaism, sin is an act that goes against the commandments of God. There are different categories of sin in Judaism, including sins committed unintentionally (shogeg) and sins committed out of spite (pesha).
