T1 has greatly confused 'committing a sin' and 'living in sin'. Anyone who professes to have lived for 30 years without committing a sin is too busy looking at others' sins to see his own. That's self-righteousness, which is a sin.
(1Corinthians 2:15-16)”[sup] [/sup]The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment”
(Matthew 7:1-5) Stop judging, that you may not be judged. For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you. Why do you notice the splinter in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove that splinter from your eye,' while the wooden beam is in your eye? You hypocrite, remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother's eye.”
(1 Corinthians 4:1-5) “ So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the secret things of God. Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful. I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.”
(Romans 8: 5-8) “Your stubborn refusal to repent is only adding to the anger God will have towards you on that day of anger when his just judgments will be made known. He will repay each one as his works deserve. For those who sought renown and honour and immortality by always doing good there will be eternal life; for the unsubmissive who refused to take truth for their guide and took depravity instead, there will be anger and fury.”
