Okay, I think I see what you are saying, and if so, then I agree, though I don't know if you will agree with my literal take or are more in line with David, just that you say it in a different manner. (David, I'm sorry, but you are not going to like this...) It has to do with the prophecy of what Jesus would accomplish in Daniel 9:24
To finish the transgression,
To make an end of sins,
To make reconciliation for iniquity,
To bring in everlasting righteousness,
Adam sinned and cursed
mankind and the pure human nature took on the nature of Satan. It is not the individual sins that Jesus died for, though it certainly affected them, but Jesus defeated by His death, the whole Satanic nature - the works of the devil, allowing us to return again to the pure human nature Adam had before he sinned.
Even with Adam's pure human nature he could still choose to sin, which he did. But he didn't have to; he was not yet a
slave to sin. That is why even though we who are born again to the pure human nature God created (the divine nature), can force ourselves to willfully sin by dwelling on temptation and letting it take root, and return again to the Satanic nature - to perdition as in Hebrews 10:39 and to death, trampling the Son of God underfoot, counting the blood of the covenant by which he
was sanctified (past tense, so there are errors in the doctrine that 'sanctification' is a life long process of overcoming sin. Wrong. There is a "process" but it isn't sanctification, and it doesn't have to do with overcoming sin, but maturing the divine nature 2 Peter 1) a common thing, and insulting the Spirit of grace. Hebrews 10:26-31
