Crime and Sin:
Well, crime
and sin both seem identical terms, but actually, there is a slight difference
between the above two terms.
Crime is
referred to the disobedience, or violation of those laws constituted by the Legislative
branch while sin is referred to those actions or works which are done against religion
or divine law. Moreover, there is a concept of forgiveness in sin. If somebody
repents over his/her ill-doings, she or he will be pardoned, but in crime, there
is not any conception of forgiveness. A person is given punishment accordingly.
Furthermore,
a crime can be a sin too, but some sins can not be considered as a crime.
Lets
clear them further:
Pride/Ego: Having
pride or Ego in a person is certainly not a crime, but it is undoubtedly a sin.
Similarly,
stealing someone's money is considered to be a crime as well as a sin.
Smoking:
Smoking
is certainly a sin, but it is not a crime according to the legislative laws
