“My point still remains, that sinless is better than sinful. Don’t you agree?”

You miss the point. She was created innocent with the capability to sin. Untested innocence is virtueless so sinless was an empty category since it had not entered the garden at the time she was created..

A good point, and well stated.

Original sin and personal sin are two different things. Sin does not have to exist first before one can be "free from Orignal Sin."

Does one have to be first infected and then cured before one is "free of disease"?

Roamer_1, you claim to understand the difference between Original Sin and personal sin, and yet you hurrah this post. It makes me wonder.
