Turning from just one sin does not make you sinless, dingbat.
Jesus' blood washed away all my sins and made me holy, and perfect; it is how I have a new born again life. He did that for me after I repented of my sins, he saved me. Any sins after I am born again, I am to stop and work out my salvation with trembling and fear, and train myself. Do you recognize what I said as being what Paul says?
That's like saying if I have a supper plate of potatoes, carrots, and beans ....... but I quit eating the beans then I have stopped eating supper.
If you are eating anything on that supper plate then you are still eating supper.
That is why I don't go by human analogies that are not in the Bible. What you say is not something I care to elaborate on.
If one breaks any portion of the law, they are guilty of the whole law.
James 2 KJV
(10) For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
(11) For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
James was speaking of the ROYAL LAW OF LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR. It is also what Paul speaks of that we are to obey. They both are speaking about what Jesus taught. It is about the New Covenant.
Love is 'not harming your neighbor' that is how we love our neighbors; we do no harm to them. See Romans 13:10.
If you do not harm your neighbor by not murdering your neighbor, it is good and you have obeyed a commandment of do not murder---do not murder/love your neighbor.
If you do not harm your neighbor by committing adultery with your neighbor's wife, then you have obeyed another commandment, and you show you love your neighbor.
If you do not harm your neighbor by bearing false witness against your neighbor, you have done right and obeyed yet another command of the law and you still are loving your neighbor.
If you STEAL from your neighbor, you have HARMED your neighbor, AND NOW YOU ARE GUILTY OF BREAKING THE WHOLE ROYAL LAW OF LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR.
Do you understand now? You obeyed all those commands and were doing right by loving your neighbor, you loved your neighbor by not harming him by murdering him; you loved your neighbor by not committing adultery with his wife; you loved your neighbor by not bearing false witness against him, ...BUT THEN, you missed up on one. You did not kill your neighbor, commit adultery with his wife, you did not bear false witness against him...but you stole something from him...YOU HAVE NOW broke one law and stole...AND NOW you are guilty of breaking the whole law of love your neighbor because you hurt him by stealing from him.
If you can study carefully what I said, with the measure you use will be measured back to you.
