Arrogance
If anyone can says people sinned yesterday, today and tomorrow, they are not human but
claiming to be God.
A prophet speaking on behalf of God, could say someone has sinned and then specify the
sin to bring them to repentance, and reconciliation with God.
But to say someone is a slave to sin, so one can generalise about sin to the extent to say
they are worthy of being rejected from the Kingdom because of defilement.
James never judged like this.
Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it.
There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you--who are you to judge your neighbor?
James 4:11-12
And how can anyone say if someone else will sin, before it has happened other than
God who sees all things?
So people who speak like this exalt themselves as God himself, bringing condemnation
on others, without the position to be a judge.
In reality all they see is their own sin which they project on to others as Paul bring to light.
To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted.
They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good
Titus 1:15-16
How Gods word bring light upon the heart of these unbelievers and the lack of purity
that dwells within.

Have no idea what sins he committed, but I'm certain he did. Same as you, and same as me. The Bible says to "be ye perfect even as your heavenly Father is perfect" (Matthew 5:48). We are to be as perfect as God. Are you? If not, you are sinning. The Bible says to "love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, and soul" (Matthew 22:37). Do you do this every second of the day? Then you are sinning.
Unless every single thought in your head, and every single thing you do is absolutely perfect - you are sinning.

Amen, As Jesus said, 2 commands encompass all the law and prophets.
Love the lord your God with all your heart all your mind and all your soul.
and love your neighbor (which includes everyone, even those who curse you, or take advantage of you, or cut you off on the highway or want to rob you beat you or kill you)
and we have to do this 24/7 failure to do so is failure to live up to Gods standard. As james said, if we break the LEAST, we are guilty of ALL..

Exactly! But trying to get them to admit they sin every day is like pulling teeth, or trying to catch a greased pig. 
Of course not. Their pride muster be broken.
in the meantime, they will call you and I arrogant, Pridefull and claim we think we are God. Because they just do not understand what sin is. And have no desire to learn, because they may have to admit they are wrong,.
