Since God sees everything, it is foolish to try to hide our sins from Him. Everyone of us sins in though, word, and deed. When we deny our sin, shove it into the back of our minds, or try to cover it up, we only get into trouble. Just as David said in v. 3 &4 . Unconfessed sin in our lives dries up the wells of living water (John 7:38) from our inner most being. Come to God, and let Him deal with any sin in your life: He will forgive and cleanse you.
Psalm 32:1-7
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity,
And in whose spirit there is no deceit. [SUP]3 [/SUP]When I kept silent, my bones grew old
Through my groaning all the day long.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me;
My vitality was turned into the drought of summer. Selah
[SUP]5 [/SUP]I acknowledged my sin to You,
And my iniquity I have not hidden.
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah
[SUP]6 [/SUP]For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You
In a time when You may be found;
Surely in a flood of great waters
They shall not come near him.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]You are my hiding place;
You shall preserve me from trouble;
You shall surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah

There is an odd characteristic among certain contributors and it is sarcasm. We all have our perspectives on Jesus and where we are, but because of the Holy Spirit at work in us, are worthy of respect.
I would suggest there are some who actually believe they are above this area, because they have it all spiritually sown up, people can be disregarded without showing respect for the work Jesus has done in their lives.
Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God.
1 cor 4:5
Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against a brother or sister or judges them speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it.
James 4:11
“God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
James 4:6-10
The people who talk sarcastically as exampled on threads are in sin. There attitude testifies against their spirituality, rather than being knowledgeable they have fallen. Unless they repent, this is their dead end, where the Spirit will leave them and they will wonder why it went all so wrong.

Because your whole argument against me is refuted by it. You asked me if I was sinless and perfect and I listed to you exactly what Romans 6 says we are.
In fact, if you went to Romans 6, it might show the error you persist in, that Romans 7 was after Paul was converted.
You cannot read Romans 6 and then go into 7 and continue to state that you are a sinner saved by grace and try to say Paul was. If this si the case then Paul's message is the largest contradiction in the Bible.

Have a nice day, You do not wish to discuss anything, or try to figure out what anyone says. so there is no use going on.
You claimed your not sinless. thats all anyone here has to hear.
as for romans 7. As I proved before. to many things in romans 7 could never have been true of paul BEFORE he was converted. thus it can not be paul speaking of his per-conversion state.
if we look at romans.
chapter 6 is our position in christ
chapter 7 is our struggle as a child of God
chapter 8 is how to overcome this struggle.
