God can do anything, right?

The questions you present are answered on the basis of soteriological understanding. It all depends on how one views justification, regeneration, and sanctification.

And here's another issue... people are so behavior oriented (works mentality) that they fail to grasp "nature". You see... even IF we disciplined ourselves to "behave" rightly and didn't "commit sin"... our very nature (with regards to our flesh) is still "sinful" and repugnant to God.

Yup, you got it Pontiac! The Apostle Paul stated he was the chiefest of sinners & he was one together dude.
God does not like our flesh & that is the reason our flesh ain't going to heaven!
