MandaLee - sorry, but the concept of a "sin" is meaningless to me
I don't even use the word sin. Mind you, what you may term a sin and what I may term as inherently wrong, may in many cases be exactly the same thing. In which case it is simply a nuance of personal definition. Myself, I must have been ripped off when I was born as I was only born with human nature.

Gomedome, Unfortunately, everyone in the world has sins. As humans, we
are born with a sinful nature.

MandaLee - I'll give you one thing - that is about as good an answer
as I had hoped for.
However, Jesus would be better served spending his time and efforts on others because I have no sins. Not one. I do however have a few regrets, a few things I have said or done that I wish I hadn't and a few things that I have done that I knew was wrong at the time but I have gotten over most of these regrets. Sins I'm fresh out of, at least in the form of any transgressions that I would need to ask anyone to forgive.

Gome, He saves you from facing separation from God as punishment for your
sins.

Just what is this Jesus guy supposed to be saving me from?

Gomedome,
The Bible itself doesn't save you, Jesus does. Please read my post on this very topic.
Be well!
