I've been wrong in the past, and have changed my view, taking things I didn't understand off the shelf and reexamining them, until there were no contradictions. I don't have anything left on the shelf that I don't understand, unless I haven't come across something that needs to be put on the shelf. God spoke to me in 2000 and told me He was giving me the office of teacher. Everything I ask according to James 1:5 He has answered immediately. You should try it.
Please read what I wrote to you to try to explain my view, because you haven't heard it all. Far from it.

When all else fails play the straw man card. BTW 1 John 1:8 is in the present tense. Confessing our sin is not justifying sin.

How weak is the blood of Jesus if you have to confess your sins more than once?

audible, but like a still small voice. I doubt you could hear it if you were sitting next to me. It is unmistakable, interrupting my own thoughts with His words.
The point is you only have to repent once, as in Acts of the Apostles 2:38, to receive the powerful, desire changing, Holy Spirit. It coincides with 1 John 1:9. That is why in 1 John 2:1 there is no repentance required for Jesus to be our Advocate. It is a different kind of sin He continually cleanses us from.

There is nothing weak about the blood of Jesus. Confessing our sin is not about confessing each and every sin that we commit as we commit them (keep a specific inventory) and if we forget a sin we’re toast!
Believers speak the same/acknowledge/agree with God's perspective about their sins and have a settled recognition and ongoing acknowledgment that one is a sinner in need of cleansing and forgiveness.
I've prayed and prayed for the first 30 years of my life, and NEVER had an answer to prayer.
After I was born again and filled with the Spirit on Feb. 9, 1977 (Wed. night prayer meeting), the following Sunday when we formed a small prayer circle, I knew to just wait instead of me choosing who in the circle I wanted to pray for and what. At the end, there was one woman left to pray for, and I "heard" God tell me what words to pray. I used His words exactly. The next week she sought me out and told me my prayer had been answered miraculously. It had been about the return of her lost daughter.
100% of my prayers have been answered ever since, because I am His servant, He is not my servant. So I wait, and when He tells me to pray and for what, I do, and it is answered immediately.
That is weak blood you believe in if Jesus didn't turn you from a sinner into a child of God.

The scripture says that God will render to every man according to his deeds: To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile (Romans 2:6-9)
And this judgement will take place in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to the gospel (Romans 2:16)
And 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 has done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, the Apostles tried to persuade all men to believe the gospel (2 Corinthians 5:10-11).
Acts 18:4 KJV
[4] And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
He also encouraged believers to continue in the grace of God.
Acts 13:43 KJV
[43] Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
There is no scripture which tells believers to “have a settled recognition and ongoing acknowledgment that one is a sinner in need of cleansing and forgiveness”. Those are the words of man.
Psalm 118:8 KJV
[8] It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.

Believers are children of God. John 1:12 - But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name. The blood of Christ washes away our sins.
Once again, those who believe they live a sinless, without fault or defect, flawless, absolute perfect life 100% of the time (exactly as Jesus lived) are suffering from a terminal case of self righteousness. (1 John 1:8-10)
