We all have original sin, and our past sins, but if we didnt have original sin(ie no adam and eve) we would all be perfect and Jesus wouldnt have died.

Let's see. Have you ever sinned?
Have you ever told a lie?
Have you ever stolen anything even if it's small?
Have you ever lusted after someone?
Jesus said if you look at a woman to lust after her, then you're an adulterer-at-heart. The bible says all liars will partake in the lake of fire, and all adulterers will not enter heaven.
So have you sinned?
You have a conscience that God gave you that tells you sinning is wrong, and you do it with knowledge that it's wrong.
Sin is sinful cause it offends the Holy God. It's like saying "I know you tell me it's wrong to lie. But I'll lie, and I think God, you're a liar." and so you don't trust His command.
If you sin 3 times a day, that's over 40,000 by the time you're 40. And only one sin offends Him. How many times did Adam have to sin before being kicked out of the Garden?
But God provided a way out. Jesus was born of a virgin. He lived a perfect life. He died on the cross taking the punishment you deserve, bearing God's wrath in your place. He then rose from death, defeating death as only God could and then ascended to heaven. If you repent (turn away from sin) and trust in Jesus, then God will grant your sins to be put on Jesus for Him to pay and impute Jesus's righteouness to your account, so that you may enter into Heaven justified and acquitted of all charges. Now a Just Judge of the universe can pardon a wicked criminal like us and still be just because God dispensed His justice on Jesus and set you free.
So take up that free gift of God. Repent and put your trust in Jesus to save you from the wrath of God.
In love and in Christ,
Sam

No! Jesus died for all people. Those living while he was alive and all that were to be born afterwards. He forgave all of us for our sins, already commited or those to come. This was a great sacrifice. He just wants us to live a good Christian life.

For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
Sin is not only bad things people do, it is also not doing something you were supposed to do. It's a bad thought, a hateful feeling, provoking others deliberately......so you see all have and still do sin whether it is intentional or not.

We are born into sin, and we sin without even knowing it all the time, like telling someone a white lie, or accidently saying the F word when we stub our toes

Read
Gal 2:16- 3:1-3
know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified.
"If, while we seek to be justified in Christ, it becomes evident that we ourselves are sinners, does that mean that Christ promotes sin? Absolutely not!
If I rebuild what I destroyed, I prove that I am a lawbreaker. For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!"
Galatians 3
Faith or Observance of the Law
You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.
I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard
Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort?

Ever told a lie? Note that those who don't think they are sinners have lied to themselves. I don't know anyone who has not. So we are all sinners. Yes Jesus loves us so much that He still died for us when we were in our sin.

Of course not.
If we don't sin, that means we let Jesus into our lives, and that means he didn't die for nothing.
If a particular person doesn't sin, well, there are a lot more people out there who still sin.

No, even if you were the only person on the planet, Jesus would have died for you. We are all sinners, only those of us who are saved, are saved by God's grace. Only Jesus lead a perfect, sinless life.

im quite sure you've lied in your lifetime before. therefore, you've sinned. To say someone hasn't done anything wrong in their life is saying they are perfect. I don't know anyone who is perfect so Jesus died for something.
