Christ didn't sin.
It is written, "Little children, make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous."
Paul put it this way to the Ephesians: "…For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them."
Do you still do any of the acts listed by Paul in Galatians 5:19-21? Yes or no?

Grace is believing the sins we confess are forgiven and washed away by the blood of Jesus.
No such teaching anywhere in the Bible that we do not have to obey God.

If you keep sinning, then you have sins and they are before God.

Jesus washes our confessed and repented sins away. Jesus did not shed his blood on the cross so that you could sin but say you do not. Jesus' blood does not blind God to your sinful lifestyle.
Our righteous act of belief is as a filthy rag if we do not obey.

Yes. Paul wrote, "…For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them."
Why don't they believe Paul?

They call their faith without obedience life saving faith, but James calls it dead.
They say faith alone without doing anything, and Paul calls it empty words.

And they pretend they "have NO sin" while they continue to do the acts Paul listed in Galatians 5:19-21.

I read what you said.
The NIV 1984 is a blessed translation.
The KJV has some scriptures that could have been translated better too.
I would not buy or depend on the new NIV solely.
It's none of your business either way. The "True Believer," Child of
God, and member of the Body of Christ, have been sealed, indwelt,
baptized (not by water) into the Body of Christ by the Holy Spirit.
There is NO sin in the Body of Christ. So, anyone who is in the Body
of Christ, have NO sin. Can we be disobedient children of God, yes.
That's why God (as our Father in Heaven) disciplines us for disobedience.
However, there will be no judgment or condemnation
for those who are in Christ and Christ in them. We (True Believers)
will not stand before God and be judged. The unbelievers will stand
before God and be judged according to their "works."

I have debated many different doctrines, but was astounded and saddened by this the most, for we have "Christians" saying what Jesus says is not for us, and we do not have to obey.
James was speaking to the scattered sheep of Israel.

Why do you say it is none of our business?
Don't you believe Paul who says we are to judge those inside the church and do not associate with anyone who sins and calls himself a brother?
TOL is a forum. It's not a formal church gathering. If you wish to
post a list of your lifelong sins here on TOL, go for it. Elo can list
his as well.

So, according to YOU, it's perfectly fine to INSERT words INTO THE WORD OF GOD?
Who really cares what you would do? That is completely irrelevant to "translators" INSERTING THEIR OWN OPINIONS INTO THE WORD OF GOD.

Philippians 2:12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed--not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence--continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling
2 Thessalonians 3:14 If anyone does not obey our instruction in this letter, take special note of him. Do not associate with him, in order that he may feel ashamed.15 Yet do not regard them as an enemy, but warn them as you would a fellow believer.
1 Corinthians 5:2 And you are proud! Shouldn't you rather have gone into mourning and have put out of your fellowship the man who has been doing this?
1 Corinthians 5:13
God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked person from among you."
