If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us, For this is the love for Yah, that we guard His commands, and His commands are not heavy

Romans 5:13, "For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law."
Romans 4:15, "Because the law works wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression."
Psalm 32:5, “I acknowledged my sin to You, And my crookedness I did not hide. I have said, “I confess my transgressions to יהוה,” And You forgave the crookedness of my sin. Selah.”
Ecclesiastes 7:20, “For there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and does not sin.”
1 John 1:8-10, "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us."
1 John 5:2-3, "By this we know that we love the children of Yah, when we love Yah and guard His commands. For this is the love for Yah, that we guard His commands, and His commands are not heavy."
Psalm 19:7-11, “The Torah of יהוה is perfect, bringing back the being; The witness of יהוה is trustworthy, making wise the simple; The orders of יהוה are straight, rejoicing the heart; The command of יהוה is clear, enlightening the eyes; The fear of יהוה is clean, standing forever; The right-rulings of יהוה are true, They are righteous altogether, More desirable than gold, Than much fine gold; And sweeter than honey and the honeycomb. Also, Your servant is warned by them, In guarding them there is great reward.”
Psalm 119:103-105, “How sweet to my taste has Your word been, More than honey to my mouth! From Your orders I get understanding; Therefore I have hated every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.”
1 Timothy 1:5-7, " But the goal* of the commandment is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. For some men, straying from these things, have turned aside to fruitless discussion, wanting to be teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions."

Justification is a one-time event. I say that to you because I saw a post of yours a day or two ago that gave the distinct impression you considered it an ongoing work, while the ongoing work is sanctification through co-operation with the Holy Spirit of God at work in our lives, which follows justification. Too many have been tainted and spiritually abused by the institution of the RCC. Some even leave while clinging to RCC heresies, and proclaiming their theology superior to protestant theology. It is interesting and puzzling that they can say they have rejected something they claim to be superior, when it falls so far short of being Biblically sound.
I will answer your question when you answer the one I have asked you multiple times;

I have answered a 100 times over the almost 4 years I have been on here.....unless you keep the law 24/7/365 you are a law breaker and do not keep the law which condemns you......now....if you trust Jesus 100% without the deeds of the law that you claim to keep.....you are justified and not condemned
