JD, I would ask you to sit down with your bible, and demonstrate these assertions from Scripture please.
In regards to the first, that people sin BECAUSE they are "slaves to sin", will you believe the apostle Paul, who said these words?
Romans 6:16-19 KJV Know ye not, that
to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? (17) But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. (18) Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. (19) I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for
as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
Does this not tell you that those who are slaves of sin are slaves BECAUSE THEY YIELDED THEMSELVES TO BE THE SLAVES OF SIN? That you become the servant of whomever you YIELD yourself to obey?
As to the second, this idea that a person who committed NO SIN WHATSOEVER, at ANY TIME, is still a "sinner, filthy, unrighteous, and condemned", wherever do you get that idea from IN THE BIBLE?
Adam was a filthy, condemned sinner the very moment God made him? Before he ever sinned?
I think you have a very distorted view of God and his opinion of man. Sin is odious to God, and He is angry with the wicked every day. Sin is the blot or stain on man's soul and record.
How can a person be
guilty who hasn't done ANYTHING WRONG?
