To be concerned about sin, and not care about God, is an oxymoron. By definition the word "sin" means "an act against God". So if your are worried about the moral of being wrong within the mentality of sin; then you are concerned about what the creator of the universe thinks of you. Not that there is anything wrong with this thought, it's just a mentality of accepting the truth of what you are feeling. Thus; like, an addict becomes aware of themselves as they become aware of their addiction. They are seeing their feeling with soberly eyes.

Is that a sin that he or she may remain unforgiven towards the criminal for that act? And, if that is wrong, what measurement is used to established it is wrong? Why is it wrong? Is it because it does not appear righteous outwardly to another fellow human?
Let's picture anther example of the meaning of good and evil motive in one's heart. A teenager is curious and anxious and thirst for the need of attention and acceptance. A teenage girl whose body matured more rapidly than normal. A desire of womanhood approaches her aura at a young age.
