To sin intentionally means to follow the evil desires of oneself, to give into the devil, to indicate the not yet softened heart of oneself, to show that one has not yet submitted to the will of God and is not worthy of salvation.

No. A mortal sin is a sin that you know is seriously wrong and you know you are doing it. A mortal sin would be like if you seriosulsy injured someone on purpose.
To awaken sinners from their sinfulness and make them scared to sin.
To promote health by discouraging vice and to collect more revenue for healthcare..
yes or some people think that it's not . if you harm self like for example cut or hit yourself on purpose it is a sin to hurt yourself or others.
To all Christians, it would fall under the category of sexual sin, if it is causing you to do impure immoral things. But no, it is no more sinful to Catholics than Protestants.
Yes. But being forgiven by others is easy, forgiving yourself is the true task.
That would depend on what the temptation was for and its purpose. For example, if the temptation were for a harmless purpose, and perhaps even for something that would be helpful to the person, then it would not constitute a sin. For example, if a friend needed to take a remedial math class during the summer prior to the start of the regular fall classes, then to tempt him or her to take the class would not be a sin, but a benefit to the person. On the other hand, if the temptation were for something that would be harmful to the person, then it would be a sin. For example, if the person desperately needed to lose weight, and he or she were tempted to eat a gallon of ice cream, that would be a sin.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe only time "purpose" is used in official Catholic teaching is in "purpose of amendment" which means that a penitent (a person who is confessing their sins) proposed to amend their life and not sin again.
God existed before man and before sin. God does not require sin in order to exist.

Yes....If he repents of his sin and turns to God asking forgiveness, He will forgive him. God loves the sinner but hates the sin. No sin is anymore grievous to God, than another. Sin is sin in God's eyes, all must be dealt with through repentance.
