However it may be revealed or not, so it may change in human perception in time through new revelation.
Sin is often used to mean an action that is prohibited or considered wrong; in some religions (notably some sects of Christianity Christianity is a monotheistic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth as presented in the New Testament), sin can refer to thoughtcrime In the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, the government attempts to control not only the speech and actions, but also the thoughts of its subjects, labeling disapproved thoughts with the term thoughtcrime or, in Newspeak, "crimethink".
