The word "sin" comes to modern English from Old English, and possibly before that from a Latin word meaning "guilty".

In the most general sense, a "sin" (as a noun) is a crime or an immoral act regarded as a serious offense.


In it's original sense, it was (and still may be) more specifically used to refer to an immoral act considered to be a transgression against divine law.


In that way, the word can now be used, usually informally, to refer to an actual crime against actual law, or can be used, often more formally, to refer to a pseudo-crime against an imaginary authority.

Is spoiling a child a sin?

It is a sin because you give everything to your child what he or she wanted. You can give your child something but with discipline or with explanation. For example, your child asks you for an expensive toy. You can buy him one but do not buy him something next time like months and explain him or her why so he or she can understand why can't you buy him or her a toy. Do not easily give up when a child wants something. If you do, the child would keep on asking to buy him or her something. You are a parent and you know what's good for your children.
