I believe the err in thought is that if you sin once you are no longer capable of being considered a good person.
I think that passage is in reference to original sin. If we are simply stating opinion here I'd like to say that original sin, as it's been interpreted, is an allegory to a more literal truth. Something along the lines of : the first moment of self realization or consiousness is what perpetuated the big bang due to an infinite will to understand. I think this is the original sin that so many religions refer to.

From our very beginning a very basic conundrum has existed. A state of being from non-being. A constant push and pull which can be seen and observed in the very reality that surrounds us. Your breath, communication, thought process, everything is in a state of flucuation from one to another, all in a state of basic confusion on what the reason is. So, we expand with our will to power to experience everything. We seem to do this on and on until someone figures it out, I guess...
