Mine? My definition is of no account. It's God's definition/view of sin that matters, amen?

Perhaps you could elaborate on your definition of sin.

if we are not perfect then can we understand perfection perfectly?

No. Jesus is perfect, not us. That is why He died in our stead, on the cross, and through Him, we are given a right standing before God, as we recognize the horror of sin for what it is and develop an an aversion to it.

if we aren't perfect, then is it possible to confuse a good thing for a bad thing?

yes, it is written:

It is Satan's hope that we do. Confusion and half-truths and blatant lies are his forte'. On the other hand God is not the Author of confusion. His Word in our hearts and minds removes confusion and replaces it with wisdom, discernment, and clarity.

What does God's word say about sin?

Once again, you haven't defended your argument in the slightest. Start answering your own questions if you want everyone else to answer them. You never took debate, did you?

Was Cain's offering good?

Cain's offering was sin because:
1. It was the fruit of his own labor.
2. It was not the blood sacrifice that God required
3. His heart was not right before God

You almost had me there for a second. But I see where you are coming from. And I think in some cases sin can produce good. I think of Joseph saying "You meant it for evil but God meant it for good." If that is all you are saying, then I agree.

But the English word "sin" is an archery term meaning "(with)out"; i.e., "You missed the target." To extend the metaphor, the highest goal is the bullseye. We can miss God's greatest good and still not "miss the target."
But we ought never aim for anything less than His greatest desires for us - His greatest good.

Is obtuseness the same as profundity?

Is this just an exercise in asking questions?

[Edit] It appears you just learned about the Socratic method in HIgh School and are testing it out, nicht wahr?

Ok, you have no argument to make. That's what I'll take from all of this.

Sin means we're not perfect & that we got to have some Christ in our lives or we'll spoil it. Spoiler alert. Sin is not always bad & sin can sometimes be good but sin is never what's best for our lives.

Sin is anything that is not acceptable to God. Which is all unrighteousness. Sin can never be good. Sin is evil. Evil is not good.
Therefore sin is never GOOD.

Sin is not always bad.
