I never said we weren’t sinners. Rather, the issue of sin has been settled through faith in Christ.

If you don;t want to sin, just resist every temptation to sin, not by our own power, but through faith in Christ.

Will we always succeed? I don’t know anybody who has except for Jesus Christ Himself, but I do know that every time I sin, it corresponds to when I first fell out of faith in Christ and then missed the mark.

The point is that when we keep looking at sin as the cause for people going to hell, we are still not thinking through faith in Christ. He has paid that price.

Look at Revelation, and even at unbelievers. They are not sent to hell for sin. They are sent to hell because 1) their name is not in the Book of Life and 2) their works are insufficient from the Divine criterion to merit divine righteousness. They have no excuse, their works are not from God, so they are rewarded for their works, namely from their Father who is not God the Father, but the Adversary. When those works get rewarded, it ain’t good (from their perspective).

Perhaps my post wasn't very clear. I was responding to this statement:

All sin has been bought and paid for by Christ on the Cross. He was judged for all sin. Sin is no longer the issue. Good and evil are the issue.

Consider the following statement by the Lord, Himself:

Joh 9:41 Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no guilt; but now that you say, 'We see,' your guilt remains.

Or how about this...

Mat 12:31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

Not every sin was taken away at the cross. I would suggest the sin of unbelief is not covered by Christ's blood.
