Jason, I am almost certain that you do not live your whole life as holy as you may think you do. I am sure there are times that you may slide, therefore what others do in their lives is no better or worse than each other.
Christ DID die for ALL sin.
ALL sin is bad in God's eyes, which is why He only wants His children to be perfect when He remakes heaven and earth.
There is no way you can not sin, and either way whether you accept it or not, you are sealed with the blood of Christ till the day you take your last breath here on earth God's word does not lie and promises He will always be with us no matter what comes our way.
Satan is always out to destroy lives, but thank God we have His protection. He knows Satan's trickery and how he lies to get us to follow him instead of God.
Satan is not bound yet, so there is always going to be sin in this world. Whether you are a safe child of God or not, he will always try to ruin and destroy people's lives.
Yes we have a choice, but God also knows our hearts and knows that we need Him.

No, Jesus did not die for all your present and future sin (Whereby you do not need to confess or repent of it). For why on Earth would Jesus tell others to repent if that was the case? Do you know how Jesus defined repentance? Jesus said the Ninevites will rise up against this evil generation because they repented at the preaching of Jonah. If you were to turn to the end of Jonah chapter 3, you would see that the Ninevites had turned from their evil and wicked ways as a part of their repentance. In fact, Jesus said to the woman caught in the act of adultery to.... "sin no more." I am pretty sure that means to stop sinning. Jesus even said this same thing to the lame man whereby Jesus healed his legs. Jesus said for him to sin no more, otherwise a worse thing could befall him. Does it sound like Jesus wanted him to sin again?
i'm not sure what i would do, could say this or that but only the Almighty knows really what i would do. It seems like it would be an exiting week, like i was going on my first trip to cedar point when i was a child, but i think it will be just like looking forward to a trip that will last for eternity. So without saying what i would do, saying it will be exiting, but fearful in a sense, fearing for how others will live out the rest of their lives, hoping they will endure to the end.
Jesus does not want us to sin because it is BAD!
It doesn't mean that we are not saved if we sin.
Sin causes all sorts of problems in our lives and just like you would say to your own child if he did something wrong....you would tell them not to do it again.
He was a living example of how we should be.
It's not like he would say ohhh it's ok you can do it again....
There are many examples in the bible where many men and women who continued to sin were saved.
If that were the case we would not make it into heaven.....
You sin, I sin we all sin.
That is why he said he who does not sin cast the first stone!

Because of Jesus Christ and by the fact that I have repented of my sin to Him. My heart is humble before Him. If there is some future sin that might arise that may stand between me and my God, I will repent of it. Jesus works in me to do good things in my life; And only by the power of Jesus is such a thing possible.
No.
It is written...
"Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-11).

Hmmm. It appears that when you read the Bible
you are only seeing those parts you like and yet you ignore the rest of it.
Well, in order to help you, let me highlight the context for you.
It is written...
The word "were" is past tense. Meaning, believers used to be sinful. Past tense. Not present tense. Paul says be not deceived. Deceived by what? That the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God.

I disagree. When we think we have reached a point in our walk with God where there needs no room for improvement, I believe we are not allowing ourselves to be humble before the LORD. For we can always talk and walk better before our LORD. For the man of God is constantly examining himself and seeking to be more and more to be conformed to the image of Christ. Paul says know not your ownselves.

Yeh, you should pay attention to context
WASHED, SANCTIFIED and JUSTIFIED are all in past tense.
With eternal consequence, and the righteousness of God with out the law has been applied unto the believer by faith eternally.
Those that are considered unrighteous lack biblical saving faith, and still in their sins.
And the last time I checked the bible teaches Jesus saves to the uttermost and eternally.
