Congratulations! You are the only person in the universe who does not need Christ!
I'm not understanding where you are going with this. If Christ died for your sins and the ransom is paid why do you still need Christ? Are you still sinning? That was so 2000 years ago.
ETA:
If sinning is a compulsion for you E I know of a great therapy session starring Bob Newhart
I am just kind of curious if you would be upset if God really did save all mankind because Christ ransomed all per 1 Timothy 2:4-6.
Would that sadden you to see your loved ones saved even if they never set foot in church?
If I bought the whole Christian narrative in the first place ... no, it would not bother me at all. When I was an evangelical with the standard Trinitarian and anti-universal-reconciliation stances, I took no pleasure in the notion that most of humanity would end up in hell, after all the gyrations god and man supposedly had been through for thousands of years. It seemed like 2000 years of Christianity should have produced more than a third of humanity nominally (mostly culturally) embracing Christianity ... and it's even worse when you consider the countless past generations, all presumably lost and burning forever.
From the Concordant Commentary on Matthew 7:13: 13 The crowds enter a city by the broad road which passes through the wide gate. The narrow side-paths leading to a narrow gateway in some retired corner were seldom used and were always shut in the daytime and locked at night. Few find or use these paths. This is not an illustration of the gospel, but of the law. It represents an effort to attain life. It is not stated that few find life, but few find the path to it. All life is God's gift and can never be made by man, either in the sphere of religion or of science.
That is their opinion and not an opinion I can agree with. Jesus in no way said He was speaking of what they are describing. If few find the path that leads to life then few find life since the path is the way to the gate that leads to life.

Congratulations. You are one of many fundamentalist ideologues who disrespect Jesus by sinning all the time.
Sinning comes as easy as breathing for you when it should be the hardest thing in the world.
The only One Who knew no sin, Jesus Christ has told us He died for the sins of all mankind. So you must have needed dying for and you must be a sinner or Christ need not have died for your sins.
You not being there does not disprove He died for your sins.
He died for all of our sins. When He returns, then I will put on immortality and incorruption.
His sacrifice was not wasted.
You couldn't be more wrong. Jesus never said He was dying for anyone's sins. Your interpretation is corrupt.

"When a wicked man turns from wickedness and does what is right and just, he shall live."says the Lord
Jesus said that those who believe in Him do the works He did and that the words He spoke were the works of God. He said those who do not believe in Him are sinners.
You do not believe!! This makes you a sinner. You only think you are not a sinner but "if the son frees you, you shall truly be free."
"Anyone who acts in truth comes to the light so his deeds are revealed as works of God."

I was waiting for some fundamentalist's head to explode. You did not disappoint.
Quite a few Christians believe either that god is too good to condemn man, or that man is too good for god to condemn. Or both. I don't buy those points of view, OR yours, personally ... but I'm just pointing out the personal and subjective and conflicting beliefs that the failed epistemology of faith leads to.
In reality no one can claim to be sinless because the concept of sin is itself simply a human construct. The poster you decry is no different from you or me ... just a human being doing their best, working with the only morality that's available to anyone -- the morality of the society they live in.

I have a very comfortable relationship with God. We are old friends. I do not sin.
You should try it sometime. Sin should be the most difficult thing, yet you do it all the time. It is as easy as breathing for you. If you believe Jesus died for your sin, then you should stop disrespecting him.
