No, you're playing sorry.
And in a sorry display of playing:
First lip service to Christians can live without sin, followed immediately from the heart condemning such righteousness as vaunting innuendo, lording over others, and proud judging against others that are still sinning.
Tell it to Jesus Christ the righteous:
Jhn 12:48
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
2Pe 3:3
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
So have I, and you've abundantly proven yourself no different than others, that say those testifying righteously are vaunting innuendo, lording over others, and proud judging against others that are still sinning.
And when someone starts questioning that way, after quoting Scriptures of doing righteousness at all times, by experience I now respond this way.
Mat 21:24
And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you...
Why?
Mar 12:13
And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.
False. It is Scripture, and is preaching the truth, whether they are doing the truth or not.
And if not, then it does not justify anyone not believing nor doing the truth.
But with vaunting innuendo, lording over others, and proud judging against others that are still sinning.
And if I say yes, will you do as God commands to repent and sin nor more? And if I say no, will you also disobey God to not repent of all your transgressions?
Show in Scripture where any apostle declares he is living righteously without sinning, and keeping God's commandments blamelessly, and yet every apostle preaches doing so in Christ Jesus.
Why? Because it's not about the messenger of Jesus Christ, but of Jesus Christ and His gospel promise of salvation from sinning:
Jhn 1:29
The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
1Jo 3:5
And we know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him is not sinning: whosoever is sinning hath not seen him, neither known him.
Anyone who states wrong and negative assumptions of others doing righteously, does not do so in the Spirit of Christ. Anyone who makes negative false statements about others doing righteously as with vaunting innuendo, lording over others, and proud judging against others, does not do so in the Spirit of Christ.
We see your accusations against others. Show now any accusations made against you.
When did the teaching of keeping commandments at the beginning of salvation, become personal accusations against others, other than by yourself?
Transgressors accusing themselves of being judged by teaching of Scriptures, are accusing the words of Jesus Christ the righteous condemning them as trasngressors:
Jhn 12:48
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
Can you accept the truth of where the personal accusations begin on this thread?
1Jo 3:18
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
1 Corinthians 4:1-5 KJV
1) Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
2) Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
3) But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.
4) For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
5) Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
This is a good passage to have a full understanding concerning.
Much love!

2Co 5:9
Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
False teaching against Scripture is lying.
Rom 1:25
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Believing in whole justification without whole sanctification is worshipping one's own faith alone.
Are you accusing me of false teaching? If so, please provide evidence of my alleged offense.
It's nonsense like this post, that confuse people and make them wonder why did Jesus die if it's all up to us?
You do not understand the gospel and as your comprehension is severely compromised, I do not pay much attention to anything you write.
You deceive people when you put the commandments in the place of Jesus.
1 Corinthians 1:27-31 KJV
27) But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28) And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
29) That no flesh should glory in his presence.
30) But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
31) That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
Much love!
Believing in whole justification without whole sanctification, is the false teaching.
Worshipping one's own faith alone to be wholly justified without wholly sanctified, is the idolatry.
It's lies like justification by faith-alone, without repenting of all sins and trespasses, that rejects why Jesus died for our sins and trespasses.
He died for our sins to be repented of, not continued in.
Rom 6:1
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?
It's nonsense like this post, that deceives people and makes them think Jesus' command to repent, makes it all up to us.
Ezek 18:31
Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Acts{11:18}
When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the nations granted repentance unto life.
It's a self-explanatory lie of unrepentant transgressors, to say we have no part in our salvation from sinning.
It's from the self-righteous lie that transgressors have no part in Jesus dying for our sins.
Act 2:22
Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?...Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
Unrepentant sinners want no part in repenting from their own sinning against Jesus Christ, because they deny having part in sinning against Him on the cross.
Them that have no part in salvation from sinning, have no part in resurrection unto life:
Rev 20:5
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
I understand your false gospel perfectly. You don't want to perfectly understand it yourself.
You pay enough attention to twist what I write against your gospel of justification by faith alone, while transgressing the commandments of God.
Case in point.
You deceive yourself when you put your own faith-alone in the place of keeping Jesus' commandments.
Heb {6:1}
Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
Rev 14:12
Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
No man has the faith of Jesus Christ toward God without repenting of transgressions, and keeping His commandments.
Jhn 15:10
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
No man begins to love Jesus Christ without keeping His commandments, much less abides in His love while transgressing His commandments.
The gospel of faith-alone justification while transgressing commandments of God, is false.
The faith of transgressors to be justified by Christ, is in a false Christ that justifies transgressing God's commandments.
Mark 13:22
For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

No man has the faith of Jesus Christ toward God without repenting of transgressions, and keeping His commandments.
Jhn 15:10

No man begins to love Jesus Christ without keeping His commandments, much less abides in His love while transgressing His commandments.
The gospel of faith-alone justification while transgressing commandments of God, is false.
The faith of transgressors to be justified by Christ, is in a false Christ that justifies transgressing God's commandments.
Mark 13:22
For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
No man has any wisdom, righteousness, and redemption of Christ Jesus, that is not sanctified by Jesus Christ.
1 Cor 6:11
And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Nor washed, nor justified.
Wow ! When did you become a Sabbath Keeping Saint, as in Revelation 14:12 ?
It was just a short while ago you were preaching a religion of "disobedience" to God, siding with Satan, anti-Sabbath, rather than obedience, siding with Jesus. I easily remember, cuz you and I have gone a few rounds over this topic publicly.
So now you are claiming, 100% walking in the Spirit, and being "Jesus perfect", like the Pope of Rome claims... "infallibility" and being God on Earth ...
I hope you realize that you and the Pope are committing "Blasphemy"
Wow ! Speaking of the epitome of "Self- Righteousness"
Sounds to me that you are believing the Second Lie of Satan, ( as well as 1st) “be like gods, knowing good and evil” " Genesis 3:5
Ecclesiastes 7:20, "Surely there is no righteous man on earth who does good and never sins."
Other key passages reinforcing this truth include:
- 1 John 1:8: "If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us."
- Romans 3:23: "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
- John 8:7: Jesus states, "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her," implying that no accuser is without sin.
