“If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
1 John 1:8-9 ESV

I came here to post this. Well done.
And, I might add:
"If you marry, you will have difficulty." - 1 Corinthians 7.
"Did God really say...?" YEP, he did.
You're implying that the ability to sin is the same as an identity of sinner. A person is not defined by what they do, but by God himself. "It is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me, who loved me and gave himself for me." Therefore, no person who lives from Christ is a sinner, because Christ is not a sinner, but a child of God.
