It's very easy to make your protagonist without sin when you define what sin is.
This is pure dogma from you know who.
Jesus states that we are all the One Son of God and therefore sinless as such.
We do still have the atonement process to contend with later on.
Amen.

It is a Theological error to think that God would be appeased by the death of an innocent , to absolve the guilty.
Jesus did alot of things against the law, since one of the 'rules' is to live by the laws of the land, he sinned alot!

If that's a legitimate quote, then it means that the lyricist and all who sing it identify themselves as antichrists.
The Bible describes Jesus as "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29) because He was sinless - without blemish. Anybody denying that is an antichrist.

Jesus didn't have any sins, that's what made this a sacrifice.
Jesus died for mine, and those He would call to be part of His family.
