The flaw of your running argument is that you are running with Paul -- Paul had used the same sequence of argument -- first, that Jesus died for Salvation because it is somehow necessary that the Death of Jesus HAD TO BE a positive event, and that it would be incomprehensible to suppose that Jesus had died for nothing, or simply pursuant to an abominable crime. Secondly, that Forgiveness of Sins is necessary because Man in inherently flawed and that it is impossible for Man not to continue sinning. Here we need to do a Reality Check on this Paulist Assertion. Do we REALLY think that it is absolutely necessary for everybody to sin. Why? Do we sin all the time? Well, no. What? If we do not sin ALL OF THE TIME, then why is it necessary to sin any of the time.
