If God is waiting for us to be sinless he has a long wait ahead.
Does God mean he saved you from sinning by killing you? He is so precious. He keeps us from sinning. Political double talk.

"...God's at it again. The latest in a long line of rather curious decisions from the 'Big Guy' is the concept of Sin. Who would believe that you have to die to be saved? Apparently some rather curious ape-descended life forms of the planet Earth, that's who. In a coup attempt early last millenium, He sacrificed a prophet in His name causing a furor among the people of this little blue-green planet.
God has recently attempted to rally support for this most curious move at a time when the level of thought is at an all-time low.
Way to go, Big Guy, we're rootin' for ya!
More on this story as it develops..."

Your absoloutly right.
Mankind is imperfect and with sin. We can never be perfect no matter how hard we try.
Adam and Eve had free will and they chose to sin. One of the punishments noted in the Bible for those actions is physical death.There is a also a spiritual death if one rejects God in this life. No God did not save us by killing us. He sent his son Jesus in the physical form as a sacrifice for our sins. He then died for our sins. If we choose to accpet the truths as they are we will have salvation after we physcally die.
It is appointed for man once to die.
Romans 5:12
Therfore just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death to all men, because all have sinned...

According to the Christian religion, God is not waiting for us to be sinless. He is waiting for us to accept the fact that we are mortal because we sin, and that it is our nature and we cannot avoid it. God then wants us to accept that only through him and Jesus can humans be forgiven for these sins and therefore admitted to heaven. That is being "saved."

If we live our lives in service to self with a me first attitude, our spiritual progress grinds to a halt. Like the three stooges trying to get through a door all at the same time, there is no progress until someone steps back and says, after you. People who learn to go through the door last, are actually first in the department of spiritual progression.
Jesus, was a man who progressed spiritually in one lifetime more than we normally would in a thousand lifetimes . He showed us that by putting others first, then everyone can eventually get through the door to spiritual progression.
What he attempted to save us from is a lack of spiritual progression that is preventing us from getting back home, like the prodigal son.

Because of the atoning blood of Jesus Christ our souls are washed and are absolutely spotless. Our mortal flesh of which we daily inhabit is continually prone to sin and as a result we are covered by the blood of Christ. In essence the Father does not see our sinful flesh, He sees only the covering blood of Christ which is His righteousness. For the believer in Christ this is a gift that we do not deserve but one that He desires for us to possess.
Where does this leave the unbeliever? Are they left out in the cold? The answer is no. One thing that needs to be brought to the attention of the unbeliever is that the sin which darkens your soul will be your detriment if you will not accept Christ into your life. The consequences of this inaction will be that of an eternal death
God’s wrath lies mainly in the future (Colossians 3:6 and 1 Thessalonians 1:10) and is directed at sin, not at sinners. We suffer God’s wrath only by our own choice, since God did not appoint us to suffer wrath, but to be saved through Jesus Christ (1 Thessalonians 5:9).
The revelation to us through our Lord Jesus Christ is that God is love, as John states in his first epistle. If God loves us, and if we are in a dire predicament, then it makes sense for Him to engineer a way to rescue us. Since God’s love is very great, and our predicament is very dire, God makes a great personal sacrifice to effect the rescue.

I tend to consider myself an atheist, so 'saved' to me generally means how much money I put in the bank.
That said, though, I do not presume to know what someone else's ideas are. Not even God.

Yes, because as a member of the race of "rational animals," I have nothing to be saved from, in the christian sense.
