Q - How can I determine what is sin?
Personally and generally, it violates the respect I should have for myself, my neighbor or God.
Jesus said: Love God and Love neighbor as you would love yourself. The ten Commandments indicate the ways in which we should relate to God and to our neighbor. Church teaching elaborates on these ways relative to the time and place we live in.
Q -If someone does something that is wrong, but isn't fully conscious that it's wrong, or doesn't give the full consent of his/her will, would it be a sin [ i.e. - something that 'injures or breaks our relationship with another or God] ?
No! Unless what I do is definitely in violation of God's law [how we should respect our relationships], I give my consent and I have full intention; it is not a sin, but it can make me more susceptible to sin.
