Yeah, I totally understand the use of Frodo. I guess I understood the questions as relating to history and life, and not so much as a writer or author. Definitely in stories you can create innocent characters for a certain purpose. But in real life, no, no one is innocent(Romans 3:23)

Positionally, those in Christ are Seen by the Father as spotless, pure and completely innocent. But it’s because of him. Take away Christ’s work, his grace, his love, and we are again filthy beggars that are doomed for hell. Fortunately God will never take away that work, nor would he ever desire to do so, so we have assurance of salvation. But that’s positional. Christians, like non-Christians sin every day. Experientially we are still sinners. We have no innocence of our own. Christ is our only plea. If we strive for righteousness apart from him, we attempt a futile task. Christ is the only way, the only truth, and the only life. And apart from him, there can be no innocence.
