I got that, but I didn't say anything about sowing to the flesh.

But the Lord does in His Word which you should be paying attention do concerning sin and what sin brings upon a person

People don't live in sin because they think all their sins are forgiven

Christians all over the place are doing exactly that. If Christianity became illegal most Christians could not be convicted due to a lack of evidence that they are Christians.

People live in sin because their hearts are darkened and they make excuses and rationalizations for the satisfaction of their desires.

And because the false grace teachers tell them that all future sins have already been forgiven claiming they are still saved even if they live in sin, and now we have all these Christians living in sin. It's thew end times falling the Lord warned about.

Why would they care?

Most don't which is why it's hard to tell the difference between most Christians and people out in the world that never knew God

The answer to your objection is found in the rest of Romans chapter 6.

Couple of questions:

#1 - What are to claiming my objection is?
#2 - Specifically, what part of Romans 6 are you speaking of?
 
And the false grace teachers keep claiming when a person sins it's all good because they lie claiming all future sins have already been forgiven which is why so many Christiana are living in sin. Why wouldn't they live in sin after being taught any sin they commit is already forgiven?
You need to stop confusing false teachers/ungodly men who pervert the grace of God into a license for immortality with genuine Christians who do not practice sin but practice righteousness. (1 John 3:9-10) Practicing sin is to live in sin. Your arguments culminate in slander against genuine Christians.
Jude 1:4
For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jude is exhorting believers to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints (vs. 3) because certain ungodly men have crept in unnoticed. Jude further describes these ungodly men as ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit. (vs. 19) In contrast with those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and PRESERVED in Jesus Christ. (vs. 1)
Romans 6:1,2
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Paul uses a strong possible denial translated "God forbid!" He argues that a true Christian has "died" to the ruling power of sin, making it a contradiction to keep living in sin/practicing sin which would be one's lifestyle or bent of life.

Your arguments culminate in slander against genuine Christians.

Genuine Christians don't go around claiming they were born sinners and they sin every day in thought word and deed claiming it's not possible to cease from sinning like the reformers are doing.

So what I need to do is continue following the whole counsel of God and continue to warn others about the false teachings of the tares which is what the majority of churches are now as well as majority of popular preachers who are all tickling people's ears with carnal man made religious teachings courtesy of the devil.

Jude is exhorting believers to contend earnestly for the faith

And the reformers will tell you this is work based salvation and those contending for the faith are trying to earn their salvation.

And yet the reformers continue claiming they were born sinners and they sin every day in thought word and deed claiming it's not possible to cease from sin as the deceive as many as possible with their fake gospel.
 
It works for me. I love Jesus, I am born again, my life is full because I know Him to be my life right now. Too many believers think that they have to suppress the bad and strive to be good. That is a recipe for failure and defeat. I learned the secret: "for me to live is Christ..."
Your present condition may suit you well, but being in a state of comfort about your situation does not equate to being right with God. This is true for all of us. Too many believers think that their sentiments or sensibilities is evidence of a correct standing with God. This is a mentality doomed to defeat. I have learned to trust the Bible in all things regardless of my circumstances: "for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day".
Only those who are born again can see the kingdom of God. Catholic understanding of being born again is unbiblical. It's not a process. Either you are born again or you are not. I don't know if you are RC or not, but you come across as if you are. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Luke 17:21 - no one will say, “See here! ” or “There! ” For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.’

New Age Christianity which emphasizing feelings and the esoteric is unscriptural. Either you are biblically born again or you are not. Feeling that your are born again will led many to the same fate of those who cried out "Lord, Lord did we not". I don't know if you are New Age or not, but you come across as if you are. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, I am most certainly not RC. I am a member of the church of Christ. Romans 16:16

That's garbage. No one has said or thinks that. I am not a 'reformed' believer so don't bother with the threats and rhetoric.

For someone who cannot righteously judge another and who has no power over life or death, you sure do make alot of noise.

People here have not claimed they practice sin. I would call false judgement and continuing in false judgement after you have
been correct by believers here using scripture and alot of patience with you, sin. It is you know.

I think you might consider reforming yourself as your are bringing the same judgement you are falsely trying to label others with,
upon yourself. Flinging false accusations with the abandon with which you have become well known for in this forum, is, perhaps and I think it could be true, God trying to get you to listen since you have so badly misnterpreted both scripture and the intents of
the hearts of others here.

Nothing you try to put on people who do not deserve your false words and judgements will stick. The Bible is clear on that. So, and sadly not that I think you will, you should put down that sword that is not the word you think it is, and stop your judging.

Is everyone who they say they are? Of course not. Are we all in agreement? No we are not. But you are not the judge of the heart
of any living being. Only God goes there.

Hebrews 4 12For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

13And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

Jesus the Great High Priest

14Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

15For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.

16Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
