You can't "give up" your sins - you can only give them over to Jesus and His cleansing blood. Through His sacrifice on the cross, I have no sins attributed to me. He has taken them and thrown them as far as the east is from the west. ALL of them. It's the reason why we are called holy, righteous, and perfect in Scripture.

Rom 7.
And we would be foolish to think we 100% of the time do not do anything out of selfish ambition. Maybe even unknown to us..People who thn they can, do not understand what sin is, they water the law down so they can step over it. And refuse to be trained by the law to realise it is so far out of their reach, they have no ability to even come close to it.

Sin is transgression of the Law. By saying you no longer sin, you are claiming you keep the entire Law perfectly - 24 hours a day, seven days a week - without fail in thought, word, or deed.
That's quite an accomplishment for someone who doesn't even know what a contradiction in terms is.

That in no way means we do not think a person can live in sin. In fact, the bible says it is impossible for a child of God to live in sin. (1 John)
I just say what the bible says.
Not by works of righteousness (good deeds) which we have done, but by HIS MERCY HE SAVED US by the WASHING AND RENEWAL OF THE HS
God saves us, If you think you can save yourself. You are decieved.

I'm pretty sure his intent was not to suggest he has "altogether stopped sinning"/"ceased sinning altogether"... just that he has indeed "stopped" on occasion, at times, in some areas... (or the like).
