We do a disservice to God to discuss harmartiology within the tiny confinds as "standards."
Additionally, most would argue on this forum the whole point of standards is for God to lead us through the process of how we present ourselves, our bodies -- what we should watch, read, etc... and not necessarily dogmatized law chiseled out that we carry away. That's the whole point. Not for one man to bypass the process of justification by having everyone conform to rules, but have the grace of God working into our lives to bring us to good works and maturity. God still speaks, and he says a whole lot more than reciting the Mosaic Law.

The Ten Commandments are not Mosaic Law. Mosaic Law are the laws Moses set down for Israel by the leading of the Lord. Essentially they are how to apply the Ten Commandments to an ancient society. The Ten Commandments are the Law of God. These embody God's holiness and ultimate desire regarding man's conduct.
My point is that sin can be defined as a violation of God's Law not arbitrary opinions of denominations or individuals. If something is a sin for one... it's a sin for all.
