David. Absolutely correct in our spirit when born again we can't sin but in the mind and flesh we can Romans 7:14-24. The context of John is the spirit not sinning
The Epistle/Letter to the Romans teaches the reader to obey the "powers that be" in the world.
The Apostles did not believe Jesus taught them to obey the "powers that be"; as evidenced by the fact that they disobeyed them:
Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us. Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. Acts 5:28-29
It appears you are trying to marry the two gospels together; one must choose one or the other:
"...if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him." 2 Corinthians 11:4
Jesus has prophesied that he will tell all the workers of iniquity (sinners) to depart from him:
"I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity." Luke 13:27
I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. Luke 15:7
Jesus claims there are two distinct groups of human beings:
"I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine." John 17:9
The world aka the "powers that be" aka workers of iniquity aka sinners only comprise one group.
The other group are the sheep who pray with Jesus: "thy will be done on earth" and "lead us not into temptation".
Psalm(s) 14 and 53 also speak of two distinct groups of human beings:
The "workers of iniquity" who eat up God's People as they eat up bread;
and "God's People" who are being eaten up like bread.
We don't sin with our mind and our flesh.
We have been commanded to love the LORD our God with all our heart, all our mind, all our strength, and all our soul.
He is able to keep us from sinning. He teaches us to ask him for his will.
"You haven't broken fellowship or erored in your walk?"
My witness was: No one is rebuking me...
Every true Christian believes we will be judged according to the word Jesus has spoken in his Father's name:
Surely, the Master has said:
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. John 12:48
Like God told Cain:
If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted?
and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door.
When God called David and anointed Him God knew who He called and that he
Would listen and do. Look at David's humility many times before going into many
Situations he'd ask God what should I do how should I do it where should I go.
When dealing with Saul although Saul was out there he always addressed him as
A brother and treated Him with Godly respect because He was called of God but
Copped out of the calling, not God's Fault. That's how much David respected God
And men called of God, even when Saul died he addressed Him as God's anointed
What a man, that's why God took the time to call Nathan to straighten out David's
Head because he knew His Heart. It is interesting that in Psalms David begged God
Not to take His Spirit from Him. I can't imagine where is heart and mind were.
Rebuking you.
"...when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood."
Notice how David's prayer for his dying son was not heard. 2nd Samuel Chapter 12
King David was told by Nathan the prophet he was going to lose the child.
Also a dinner is in that constant state David was not in that constant state
Or God would have never said he was after His own Heart also God gave
him tremendous knowledge and understanding and showed Him things
Concerning Jesus Christ. God doesn't do that for a person in a constant
State of sin. I am born again now I sin or break fellowship not intentionally
In God's eyes we are saints no longer sinners or in a constant state of without
God and without hope. There is a difference.

You haven't broken fellowship or erored in your walk? If so good for you.
What, pray tell, could be worse than spiritual death?
Destruction?
Being cast into outer darkness?
Having one's body and soul cast into hell?
Not sinning is easy.
Jesus says ask and ye shall receive.
Jesus teaches us to ask for God's will to be done in earth as it is in heaven.
God's will is for us to NOT sin.
May his will be done.
Ask
Seek
Knock
