No rather we should feel guilty if we do not live a life of Love as asked by Jesus. "This is my commandment: love one another as I love you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you." John 15:13

We feel guilty that we are sinners in general, and we try really hard not to sin, and yet we still do. We know that God is disappointed in us for committing these sins, but He loved us enough to send His Son. We aren't 'pawning' our sins off Him. But I feel still feel guilty when I sin, as do several of my friends.

you'd think so. huh? but apparently Christians have no problem with the concept of human blood sacrifice or with having someone else punished for their bad behaviors.
Christians have a myriad of scapegoats upon which they can foist their guilts. their devil, Eve, Pilate, Judas, the Pharisee, the Romans and of course their sacrificial lamb, Jesus. i guess when you're burdened with not only everyday sins but with the weight of judgmental hypocrisy as well it takes an entire crew of sin eaters to mitigate ones guilts.

I did not pawn my sins off on Him- He voluntarily died on the cross to save me from my sin. Total difference here. Your choice if you accept the greatest gift of love,

No, that was the plan.
He loves us that much. Listen to His words:
"No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father."
(John 10:18)
The good news is He rose from the dead.
Without the Resurection you are still in your sins!
Believe.

If that's how one sees it in there mind and continues to do it knowing that this is what they are doing. It's a matter of Will .
And if you deceive your own will then your only hurting yourself.
Let those who wish to destroy themselves be...
For it's not of the weak that is a concern for us,it's the insanely confussed who will not give up we must keep our focus on.

Jesus loved me and took my sins upon Himself, took my sins away from me, by dying for our sins on the cross and then He rose from the dead.

Thanks. You got some people to cough up some really silly responses.
