(Mat 26:39)
And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou
wilt.
(Luk 22:42)
Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
(Joh 5:30)
I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
(1Co 10:13)
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
(Php 1:6)
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

What is your religion about if not being sinless?
(Heb 10:22)
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
(Rev 1:5)
And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
(Mat 5:48)
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
(1Jn 3:8)
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
(1Jn 3:9)
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

That's like asking "do you still beat your wife?" hehe
Get your facts straight first is my advice. Recognize that if I say I am the chief of sinners, I can tell you about thefts and adulteries and lies that might make your hair stand on end. I'm sure I've ruined lives from my previous ways. Paul murdered Children of God. Though we are both forgiven, such a past still has a certain weight to it until the day we die, do you know what I mean? Not like guilt or anything, because Paul and I have been forgiven.
But if you think Paul was still murdering people when he said he was the chief of sinners, you are sorely mistaking.
If you think I am still out fornicating and lying and stealing, you are again sorely mistaking.
Paul WAS (past tense) a sinner. He was transformed into a Saint, and we read and believe His Righteousness Came from Christ Jesus and believe his Words exactly as we believe Jesus' Words. Are you following?
Now, if Paul was, as you are more than indicating, still an active sinner at the time he said he WAS chief of sinners, you are flat wrong, and really need a few lessons in proper discernment of the Word of God.
So yes, I answered that I was a Saint. Why? Because I am of the below verse 9. Those who aren't of verse 9, are of verse 8. I hope this solves your quandary. Ask the right questions, you'll get the right answers.
Peace!
