you are not seeing where anyone was able to "not sin"
No, I'm not seeing it.
Let's start with the general, and go to the specific,
shall we?
Eccl. 7:20 Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.
Rom. 3:12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;
no one does good, not even one.”
Rom. 3:19 Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God.
Rom. 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Gal. 3:22 But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
1John 1:8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar,
and his word is not in us.
Sure you are, many people did not murder,
Matt. 5:21 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ 22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire.
Matt. 5:27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Ex. 20:17 “
You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.”
people are able to refrain from many sins.
You seem to be arguing a straw-man.
The question was whether there is anyone who never sins.
You seem to have CHANGED it to "there is no one who has committed EVERY sin."
Even if your argument were valid that "there are those who haven't committed sins A, B, or C, they've STILL committed sins, D, E, F, H, L, P, S, X, Y, Z, etc.
But even so, your argument fails utterly:
James 2:10 For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it.
The fact that everyone chooses to sin in some ways, does not take away that it is a choice,
Nobody is denying that it is a "choice".
So this is ANOTHER straw-man on your part.
Nobody is "forced" to sin against their will.
They WILLINGLY sin.
Nor does it support the idea that Adam's sinning made it impossible for us to "not sin"
You're fallaciously shifting the burden of proof.
YOU need to show us where there is ANYONE in the Bible (or in human history, other than Jesus) who has "not sinned". Of course, this would contradict the Bible, so I suggest you don't go there.
Btw, have you noticed that you (almost?) NEVER quote Scripture to support your ideas?
(Sorry for the question, I didn't mean to ask it. Don't feel obligated to answer it.)
Everyone else has...
