Sin, such a vague word. If you ask 20 people "what is sin?", you may get 20 different answers. In church we are taught DO NOT SIN. But seldom do we get a definition for sin, even though the New Testament Scriptures give a finite definition: 1 John 3:4 KJV[4] Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Doesn't seem so vague there. Let's look deeper.

We can see from a deep search that sin is: missing the mark, an error. The mark being the law. Ok now what constitutes "the law" here?
The word for lawlessness here is #458 anomia, from #459 anomos.

Do you see it? Without law, particularly the "Jewish" law? You are lawless when you transgress the "Jewish" law...the Torah given by Yahuah.
At this point you will hear from Bible scholars that the laws (instructions) fall into different categories: moral, ceremonial, and judicial. This is a man made concept you cannot find in the Bible. What you can find is that there are certain laws for certain people or situations and not every law applies to every person. Some laws cannot be applied at this point because there's no temple or Levitical priesthood.
My personal conclusion is that I want to keep every Torah law or instruction that applies to me the best that I can to be in obedience to my El. Yahusha warned that many will come to him astonished that they were left out of the kingdom only to hear from Him that they practiced anomia/lawlessness/Torahlessness. I want to hear "well done good and faithful servant".
