Jesus loved me
enough to die for me. God's love does not appear to be based on
numbers.
DAVEH: I fully agree. However, I was trying to explore a bit further
what you believe about how Jesus' sacrifice is pertinent to anybody who
had never sinned.

There are those who do not sin and still die. They are called fetuses
by those who murder them, unborn children by those who would rather
they live. There is no way that they can sin in thought or deed, yet
they die, so sin brought death to all.
I believe that had I been the only sinner on earth, Jesus loved me
enough to die for me. God's love does not appear to be based on
numbers. One fact, one opinion. You would have very little
trouble
arguing against the opinion. The fact is self evident.

not sin live forever, and those who did sin would die? And...what
effect would Jesus' sacrifice be to those who did not sin?
IOW....would Jesus have given his life for the sinners only, and the
others would not have need of anything from Jesus?

=================================================================
Since we all have free will to obey or disobey, any human from Adam on
could choose to sin. As slick as the devil is and as stupid as people
are, I think it;s safe to assume that all would have sinned. The
world today would not be much different.
