I know I'll sin again no matter how much I hate it when I do.

Here is a definition of "sin" taken from http://www.lds.org/topics/sin?lang=eng

Quote:
To commit sin is to willfully disobey God's commandments or to fail to act righteously despite a knowledge of the truth (see James 4:17).


Ashleyd,

To me the examples of your "sins" that you've shared with us sound more like transgressions and not sins. Speaking of which, is there a difference in consequences of sins compared to the consequences of transgressions? Is there a difference in the requirements of the atonement for sins vs. transgressions?

Quote:
And now, behold, I will testify unto you of myself that these things are true. Behold, I say unto you, that I do know that Christ shall come among the children of men, to take upon him the transgressions of his people, and that he shall atone for the sins of the world; for the Lord God hath spoken it". (Alma 34:8)
