Prophets never had evil intentions but they often missed the mark of God's Name, but they quickly make their way back to the path through turning back with resolve.This is why no one cares about sin anymore. If we can be doing a good thing..but somehow sinning, we rightly lose any respect for the notion of sin. It's only compelling when sin is taken to be wrong. If the big genie upstairs has the gall to say "Well, you fed that orphan, which is a good thing..but you didn;t do it while you hopped on one foot, like I said to..so it;s sin!" then no one is going to give the notion or the genie any credence. It's just a crank saying crank shit.
So over all they were God's Path and name with minor slips here and there and sinned but never did evil, even their sins were good deeds that are more explained by love of God than anything else, albeit it was expected they recognize and walk the best path in that moment, they did slip, and it's called sin.
This is what I mean by redefining things. Now sin is taken to mean "evil in religious context", but that's not what it meant back than.
And we are losing the meanings of words.
It's also the reason that religious nutballs like yourself attempt to pile shame atop of sin (as you did in the remainder of your post). To reclaim the authority that religion squandered by reconflating the two notions in the public mind. If people can be made to believe that sin is bad again, then they can be made to hop on one foot, again. Nobody wants to be the sole nutter hopping on one foot because genies said so. Religious idiocy loves company.
