    How glad I am that you corrected your earlier post! That passage in 1 Corinthians 15 is not saying that dying is a sin, but that sin gives death its sting. If dying were itself a sin, As Jesus Christ died, it would mean that He sinned. Yet the bible tells us quite clearly that He did not sin. I Peter 2.21-22:

    21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps: 22 "Who committed no sin, Nor was deceit found in His mouth";


    1 John 3.5:


    And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin.


    Then there is Hebrews 7.26-28:


    26 For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens; 27 who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the people’s, for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself. 28 For the law appoints as high priests men who have weakness, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints the Son who has been perfected forever.


    If Jesus Christ had sinned, He Himself would have needed a Saviour, and He certainly could not be the Saviour of sinners.

    Praise God, He came to this earth to die to save sinners. He did not commit sin by dying.
