To sign "sin," form both hands into "X" handshapes by curling your index fingers while keeping the rest of your fingers closed. Hold them in front of your chest with your palms facing toward you. Move both hands in alternating, tumbling circular motions, as if they are pedaling a bicycle.
To sign this, you would point to the person, sign 'CONFESS', and then sign 'SIN' using the alternating circular motion with your 'X' handshapes.
Sign 'LIE' followed by 'SIN'. Be sure to use a firm, serious facial expression to convey the weight and meaning of the statement.
Point to yourself, sign 'FORGIVE', and then sign 'SIN'. Keep your movements smooth and your expression sincere to match the context of the sentence.

No, they are different. 'Wrong' uses a 'Y' handshape brought back to tap the chin, while 'sin' uses two 'X' hands moving in alternating circles in front of the chest.
While 'sin' and 'evil' are related concepts, 'evil' is usually fingerspelled (E-V-I-L) or signed using a modified, intense version of 'BAD'. It is best to use this specific tumbling 'X' sign strictly for 'sin'.
Not at all! As long as both hands are moving in alternating circles with the correct 'X' handshapes, the sign will be perfectly understood regardless of which hand initiates the forward motion.
