Jesus's sacrifice was only possible through sin (murder). If it weren't for sin we would all be going to hell. Right?
Please explain your answer. Thanks.

Without sin and evil there would be no need for God and everyone would automatically go to heaven, good/evil are in a secret conspiracy. Each requires the other to exist. In this type of religion there must be people who do evil to enable others to go to heaven, its a strange paradox.

No. Sin is what you are saved from to be in God's presence.
Torah makes it clear that in order to be redeemed of sin, you had to sacrifice an unblemished animal and transfer your sins to that, and then kill it on an altar.
Christ, however, was the ultimate sacrifice. The animal could only save you temporarily and you had to keep killing because you still sin. With Christ, since he was the perfect human, only that one sacrifice was made for all eternity.
So, it is through Christ and the will of the Father that we are saved.

Sin is what sends us to Hell. Only though faith in Jesus can we go to Heaven. Jesus had to die on the cross for our sins. Adam and Eve chose to sin, and that is what changed the whole world. You have to believe that Jesus died on the cross, and rose again on the third day, and that He is in heaven. That is the only way to heaven.

If it wasnt for Jesus we would all be going to hell
Romans 6:23-For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Jesus was judged of sin, to pay the price for it, but never sinned. The crime did not finish the punishment. Evil can not destroy evil. Only good can destroy evil.

the greatest evil the world ever witnessed (crucifiction of Christ) produced the greatest Good. We aren't saved by sin, we are saved the the perfect and ulimated sacrifice of the sinless Christ.

If we didnt sin, we wouldnt need salvation.Before Adam and Eve sinned, they communed with God in paradise, do you think He was sending them to Hell?

yup, unless we have sinned we wouldn't know what salvation was like. In the lost gospels it says 'unless you stand in the darkness you won't be able to see the light'
Getting grounded in the world, sin and salvation need each other
The idea we inherit sin is not necessary, we create it ourselves!!!

Well, if it weren't for sin, we also WOULDN'T need to go to hell.
The only reason that Jesus had to sacrifice for us is that He needed to pay for our sin.

No. for it to be murder it would had to had been the unlawful taking of someone's life. Now, It wasn't murder if Jesus scrificed himself for us, right?? He didn't have to die on that cross for us, but He did anyway.
