There is no concept of sin if you forego belief in Christ. You would only be taking that term and using it to refer to values you yourself have set. In other words, sin would be whatever YOU think is bad-regardless of whether christ condemns it.
To follow christ is to follow God’s will-not your own. If your conception of “sin” just happens to overlap with that of christ’s, then sure it could be viewed as commendable but only to an extent; you still reject Christ and therefore reject God himself. This rejection, regardless of whether or not you happened to commit And or repent of a sin That just happens to align with christian values, would unfortunately damn you.
Christianity is not-at its core-a legalistic religion like that of the jews. It’s much deeper than that. If you do not know God, he will say to you on the day of judgment to depart from him for he knows you not.
