Rom_7:16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
1Ti_1:8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
Neh_9:13 Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments:
Psa_119:66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.
Mat_19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Rom_7:16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.

no human can 're-define sin', this would be a satanic joke -
'Fear God and KEEP His Commandments, for this is the whole DUTY of man,..
1JOHN 5:3.
For this is the Love of God, that we keep His Commandments: and His Commandments are not grievous.
11JOHN 1:6.
And this is Love, that we walk after His Commandments. This is the Commandment,
That, as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.
REV. 22:14.
Blessed are they that do His Commandments, that they may have right to The Tree of life,
and may enter in through the gates into the city.
this is no joke Brothers and Sisters, better give your whole hearts while you can, for as you can read
this is His pathway that He has set before us to 'over-come'...

I know of a power that has already said to have done just that:
Dan_7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Pro_24:21 My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:
Dan_8:12 And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.

Rules aren’t made for people who know how to act. If everyone possessed enough common sense we wouldn’t even need traffic laws. However for those who lack the intelligence to follow social cues, or too evil and greedy to coexist in harmony with fellow man, laws need to be passed and enforced. Man apart from God is boundless in creativity and insatiable in appetite for ways to damage self and others. However, man who turns from carnal gratification as chief motivator in life is not tempted to sin. Since his or her flesh doesn’t require endless satisfaction it has no need to hate, murder, cheat steal or lie. If he or she has pledged life to the rightful owner, and surrenders all then no day is more sacred or holy. All have been dedicated. Instead of chasing glory and wealth, placing others needs ahead of self, brings only love, patience and kindness. The Christian is a new creation not bound to law because their deeds are selfless. It is not a constant battle of will and deprivation, the crucified flesh is conquered and dead. By taking your place in the Body of Christ, we are One. One entity, one purpose under Heaven, for the glory of Almighty God.

Yes the question would be “how does the HOLY SPIRIT convict” of sin?I mean how would these verses apply to a non-believer?
Psa_97:6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.
Psa_119:172 My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness.
It's all around every single person, every single day. The Law of God is written in the Highest Cosmos, down to the tiniest element. The Holy Ghost, who wrote God's law upon stone tables, convicts man even through the Law of God as seen/written and expressed in nature/creation. The Author's signature and requirements is/are all over. They are without excuse.

What is sin is simple … anything that comes against or raises it's self (I think it's actually worded in Scripture), a perfect, holy G-d..... So verbal, we give an account for every idle word that comes out of our mouth, thought, we are told to bring every thought captive and brought under the Word of G-d, and deed, we are to obey and be Holy as G-d is Holy.
Thank G-d Y-shua's Blood not only covered us to get saved but keeps covering us until we make it home.!!!!

IMO,sin Is anything that’s contrary to the law which Is GOD’s perfect standard of righteousness and any man that naturally came Into being from adam’s seed can not obey GOD’s perfect standard of righteousness perfectly of his own strength because of the weakness of his flesh.
Paul wrote”I delight In the law of GOD after the Inward man but I see another law In my members warring against the law of my mind and bringing me Into captivity to the law of sin which Is In my members.

Our flesh Is weak.
