Yes, necessarily.

Unfortunately no, not every sin Christians commit is a mere mistake.

No, it is not, as I already proved in my reply to Brenda.
Now let us consider, for example, what you did in replying to this post.
Since
you are repeating an already disproven idea, you could have made a mere
simple
mistake, but you could have sinned, too. How so? Because you really did
have a
moral obligation to read my reply to Brenda _thoroughly_ before you
replied. Yet
it appears you did not do so. After all, if you _had_ done so, you would
have
known better -- unless you simply did not understand.
So you might have sinned, or you might not. I can't tell you which. You
will
have to make up your mind yourself. Can _you_ choose wisely?
