I did not say we are perfect. I do not believe you understand what I was saying.... read it again... I said when we have 100 percent died to the flesh and allow the holy Spirit to 100 percent control us we are not going to sin.
I was saying what Gal 5:16 is.
The Holy Spirit can't sin...
I did not say we are 100 percent controlled by the Spirit.
I aim to be but the flesh comes to life and I sometimes fail to obey. Selfish fleshly feeling sometimes cause me to sin..
But if I am surrender to the Spirit of God and have died to the flesh, the Spirit will control me.
Mat 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Rom 8:4-6 4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Gal 5:16This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

1Jn 2:1 My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
1Jn 2:2 And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.
1Jn 2:4 He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1Jn 5:16 If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should pray about that.
1Jn 5:17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.
So what is a sin not unto death?

Heb 4:15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
Heb 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
A sin not unto death is one repent of and go to the Throne of Grace and ask God to forgive us.
A sin unto death.
Heb 6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit,
Heb 6:5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,
Heb 6:6 if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.
One who turns away and willfully sins. This is the unpardonable sin, to willfully turn back to a life of sin with a seared conscience.
