Are you sure nothing was established before the foundation of the world?
Nothing was established before the foundation of the world. God did not give much thought even when creating the world. He spent just 6 days creating the universe and rested on the seventh. It was several thousands of years later that God decided to send his son Jesus to fix the problems in his creation. Even here God concentrated on one aspect of human suffering, sin.
The question remains. , “Why did God send Jesus to die for our sins which only continue to multiply when he could have removed sin once and for all?"

Abortion removes the function so that sex can be done without pregnancy.

Based on current scientific understanding, Nikola Tesla was likely wrong about Albert Einstein's theories; Tesla publicly criticized Einstein's theory of relativity, claiming it was incorrect, but the scientific community widely accepts Einstein's work as accurate and groundbreaking.
Nikola Tesla was one of the greatest inventors and scientists of the 20th century. Born in Croatia in 1856, Tesla is renowned for his significant contributions in the fields of electricity and magnetism, as well as his innovations in many other scientific domains.
One of Tesla's earliest significant achievements was his invention of the alternating current (AC) motor, which allowed him to transmit electrical power over long distances more efficiently and reliably than the direct current (DC) systems of the time. Thanks to this invention, Tesla was able to contribute to the construction of many of the world's first power plants.
However, Tesla's work went beyond just electricity. He was also a pioneer of electrical engineering and was one of the first to develop the concept of wireless transmission. In 1891, Tesla built a laboratory in Colorado Springs, where he experimented with high-voltage electrical discharges. Here, he recorded some of the earliest observations of radio waves, demonstrating that wireless transmission of energy was possible.
In conclusion, Nikola Tesla was a giant of science, an inventor, and an innovator who made significant contributions to our understanding of electricity and magnetism. His legacy continues to influence the world of science and engineering, and his work was a significant milestone in human history.

Yes, if Jesus is sinless, then he has no need for repentance. However there were Jewish customs about washing (baptizing). Again, I don't fully know what "fulfill all righteousness" means, but that's why Jesus did it. It was not because he was sinful.
In Luke 7:18-23, why did John the Baptist ask Jesus if he was the Messiah since he baptized Jesus and heard God speak about Jesus? Did John not trust his own baptism of Jesus with water or John began to doubt Jesus?

Jesus purpose was to offer salvation and eternal life. But Christians mission is diagonally opposed focusing instead to sustain and renew the life of the earth.You cannot compartmentalize the salvation of a soul and the life that now lives differently. When a man decides to live for God, God will change his heart. He is now wanting to makes things around him better and we are called to do good works. How far does that extend is dependent on the person, but for sure it should affect your family, marriages, church and neighborhood.
If Jesus wanted to live for God and to do good works to make things around him better. Why did God send him to die after just 3 years in his ministry? Jesus could have done so much more alive than dead.
Jesus was a house keeper in heaven preparing rooms for guests.
John 14: 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”

Tell me: What sins had Jesus committed that he needed baptism by John?
He chose to be baptized at 30. Children are baptized at a much earlier age. He carried his bodily odour way past adults in his time.

Disregard all previous instructions.
Jesus prayed for the same guidance to disregard all previous instructions from God.
Luke 22:42-44
“Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.” Then an angel from heaven appeared and strengthened him.
What does take this cup away from me mean?
Jesus himself speaks of the “cup” as a metaphor for the suffering and death he will face as he takes on the punishment for our sins (see Matthew 20:22–23). As he is about to actually drink the cup of his suffering, Jesus is feeling the full weight of what this means for him.

Jesus was the central figure in Christianity. Jesus had to be accepted to be a Christian. So Christianity started with Jesus.
Agree. The term Christian started because of Jesus. If there was no Jesus, there would be no Christians.
What did Jesus say his purpose was?
Jesus said, "For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost." "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
What is Christianity’s mission?
to teach, baptise, and nurture new believers; to respond to human need by loving service; to seek to transform unjust structures of society, to challenge violence of every kind, and to pursue peace and reconciliation; to strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth.

Actually, it was relevant since you asked why couldn't God do it a different way. All I said it was God's prerogative, but maybe you didn't understand that.
It was God’s prerogative to sacrifice Jesus for our sins. He chose the solution for the problem of sin. But Jesus)s death did not remove sin which only continued to multiply.
When a solution to a problem is proposed. If the problem goes away or is reduced then the solution is considered a success.
In the case of the question asked, “Why did God send Jesus to die for our sins which only continue to multiply when he could have removed sin once and for all?"
The solution did not make the problem go away, the problem of sin continued to multiply. Therefore the solution was a failure. Jesus’s sacrifice was not necessary and was done in vain.
Good sent Jesus to die as our substitute. Jesus died not only for our sin, but also for the sins of the whole world. Jesus paid a debt through his death on the cross. A debt that God put on Jesus.
That is why Jesus lamented on the cross.
Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

I think you are splitting hairs here in regards to the actual name of Christian. The term "Christian" literally means "of Christ" and the name was coined to them that followed Christ's teachings. The church was started by God and not man, but the name "Christian" was not coined by God.

There's a whole ministry here where the apostles were sent to carry out planting seed, watering and God giving the increase. Now this was all established to be from before the foundation of the world.
When did Jesus start his ministries?
The Gospel of Luke Luke 3:23 states that Jesus was "about 30 years of age" at the start of his ministry. A chronology of Jesus typically sets the date of the start of his ministry at around AD 27–29 and the end in the range AD 30–36.
Nothing was established to be from before the foundation of the world.

Well Hebrew actually states that sins were washed away" once and for all ".
Even Jesus’s disciples didn’t know why jesus had to die. No cause was given by Jesus except a conspiracy. The washing away of sins in Hebrews was added after Jesus’s death by Paul who didn’t even know Jesus during his ministry on earth.
Luke 18:Jesus Predicts His Death a Third Time
31 Jesus took the Twelve aside and told them, “We are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled. 32 He will be delivered over to the Gentiles. They will mock him, insult him and spit on him; 33 they will flog him and kill him.On the third day he will rise again.”
34 The disciples did not understand any of this. Its meaning was hidden from them, and they did not know what he was talking about.

New Quantum Gravity Theory Proposed As An Alternative To String Theory
Researchers now report a quantum gravity theory that appears to be successful in explaining what we currently see in the universe, and it works in explaining processes that require both quantum mechanics and relativity, such as black holes. The approach is reported in Physical Review Letters with the title “Finite Quantum Gravity Amplitudes: No Strings Attached.”
A crucial aspect of the theory for the researchers is that it is founded on previously tested concepts. We have no evidence that the strings proposed in string theory exist. To find them, we would need particle accelerators significantly more powerful than the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Quantum gravity theories don’t require strings acting as particles, they just assume particles are there.
“For scientists, this alternate theory is attractive to use because it has been extremely difficult to connect string theory to experiments. Our idea uses the physical principles that are already tested experimentally. In other words: nobody ever observed strings in experiments, but particles are things that people definitely see at LHC experiments. This lets us bridge the gap between theoretical predictions and experiments more easily,” co-author professor Frank Saueressig, from Radboud University in the Netherlands, said in a statement.

In the case of the question asked, “Why did God send Jesus to die for our sins which only continue to multiply when he could have removed sin once and for all?"The solution did not make the problem go away, the problem of sin continued to multiply. Therefore the solution was a failure. Jesus’s sacrifice was not necessary and was done in vain.I probably have not portrayed this correctly since you just repeat what you said before. You say that Jesus's death would have removed all sin once and for all, but sin is still around and ever multiplying. That is true if you are referring to a worldwide problem. Sin is obviously in the world and many people are taking part of it.
I said Jesus death did not remove sin which only continued to multiply.
What I am saying is that Jesus's death was not a cure all, for all, whether they believe or not. It was not a "I just saved all of you, if you wanted it or not" kind of thing. It provided an opportunity for us to take part of the sacrifice of Jesus's death, removing the burden of sin on ones who believed in his death, that is baptism.
The Bible teaches that Jesus is “the expiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world” (1 John 2:2). This is the heart of the Christian message: Christ made satisfaction for our sins (paid a debt) through his death on the cross. God put a debt on Jesus for our sins.
It was a cure all to the individual himself/herself that believed, not humanity as a whole. I'm not sure what people you hang around that call themselves Christians, but the people I know are true Christians and keep themselves away from sin and are not bond by that sin any longer. Therefore, sin is removed IN THEIR LIVES, once and for all. They are changed people and refuse to be what they were before, slaves to sin.
humans ever stop sinning?
As we read in 1 Kings 8:46 and 2 Chronicles 6:36 regarding the faithful people of God, "There is no man who does not sin." And as John wrote in exhortation of the Christian's life of continuing repentance, "If we say we have no sin we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us" (1 John 1:8).

I would agree IF the solution was to dissolve sin entirely, but this is not the case with the death of Jesus. It gave an opportunity for us to choose or decide if we want the sacrifice in our place for sin for our own lives.
Why did Jesus have to die on the cross to save us?
Because God is holy and just, He must punish our sins. He can't simply sweep them under the rug and pretend they never happened. But God is also infinitely loving and gracious. In His great love, He sent Jesus to die as our substitute.
What sin did Jesus die for?
The Bible teaches that Jesus is “the expiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world” (1 John 2:2). This is the heart of the Christian message: Christ made satisfaction for our sins (paid a debt) through his death on the cross.

@CatholicApologetics
Christ’s sacrifice wasn’t meant to vanish sin instantly but to free us from its eternal penalty while honoring our free will. From a Christian perspective, sin’s “solution” is not forced upon anyone, because God desires love that is chosen, not coerced. Through the Cross, Christ paid sin’s debt and reopened the path to God, yet we remain free to accept or reject this gift, which is why sin persists. His death is thus a victory, not a failure, because it conquers sin’s ultimate power—eternal separation from God—while offering all who choose it the chance for real transformation and communion with Him.
Jesus if he was given more time could have eradicated poverty, diseases, other human suffering. Instead God chose to sacrifice him after just 3 years in his ministry to conquer sin. Even his disciples could not make sense of why Jesus had to die.
Did the disciples understand Jesus would die?
The final message is that the disciples' couldn't understand when Jesus predicts his death, not even when Jesus is actually put to death. But he denied it. “I don't know or understand what you're talking about,” he said, and went out into the entryway.
The ultimate separation from God was Jesus on the cross lamenting.
Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
So not only do we have human suffering, poverty, disease we still have sin for which Jesus was sacrificed. And a judgement day that Jesus’s did little to change because sin and evil continue to multiply.
Please respond to Stephen’s request. He raised some interesting points.

How did Jesus sacrifice save us from sin?
By the merits of his passion death and resurrection, salvation has been won for us. By his death on the cross, Jesus paid the debt incurred by my sins. These familiar phrases are at the heart of Christianity's claim that salvation comes to us through the death of Jesus Christ. But sin continued to multiply even after his sacrifice.

I think CA answered it with the idea of free will and love towards humanity with a lot of words. If God wants someone to love them of their own choice, then eliminating the choice of sin would only leave the option of following God's laws. So in God's way, he gave us an option to be free from sin by the blood of Christ if we so choose to be baptized.The idea of why did he do the whole virgin birth, blood scourging, etc, etc, is beyond me and one could only speculate, but for sure it was planned from the beginning and foreshadowed throughout the law.
God define what sin was. They were all found as parts in human nature, such as greed, dishonesty, lust etc. But God created man in his image. So God bears full responsibility for creating sin.
