You have to learn to separate the law of God, the permanent ten commandments from the law of Moses the613 sacrificial, circumcision, feast, festival etc laws...these 613 ended in Acts15 with the exception of 4 mentioned...is that so difficult for you to understand? Why?
Anyone Know How NOT to sin?

The 613 are a particular sects interpretation of the Law. The interpretation of the ten commandments are in them as well.
I believe that Jesus knew what he was saying when he declared that he came to fulfill the Law and not to do away with it. (Matthew 5:17-19)
God does not stop at the end of the ten but thereafter speaks to Moses and instructs him on the judgement to set before the people.
Exodus 20:18-21:1Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
18 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off. 19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. 20 And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.
22 And the Lord said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven. 23 Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold. 24 An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee. 25 And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it. 26 Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
21 Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
To remove the rest of the Law is to violate God's command in Deuteronomy 4:2 by diminishing what is written. It is not a wise thing for anyone to do.

heretoeternity,
Are you accusing Jesus of sin?
Jesus never sinned even though tempted as we are so he did not " break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so". (Matthew 5:17-19)
I think you did not consider the implications of your statement as that is common among humans that walk according to the flesh.

Well... If you lock yourself in a room and not do anything you will be condemned for being an unprofitable servant.
If you go out and do things you will make mistakes and be condemned for sinning.
I think sin is pretty much a guarantee. However the bible notes that if we forgive others our trespasses toward others God will forgive us our trespasses towards him. So it is important to walk in love and forgiveness.

rockytopva,
I think sin is pretty much a guarantee.
It is guaranteed only if one walks according to the flesh.
Those that walk according to the Spirit do not sin.
The forgiveness is necessary because only those that have the Spirit can walk according and even then it is a matter of learning how to do it continually without break.

There are two parables regarding the bride which are yet to be completed. In one, the bridegroom is waiting for is bride, and in the second, the bride is waiting for the Groom. The problem the bride has continually had is her unwillingness to wear the wedding garment provided. This wedding garment represents the righteousness of Christ. That righteousness we accept by faith, through surrender to the Holy Spirit who then imparts to us the the character of Christ and we become partakers of the divine nature. We are changed into the image of the Son of God...into the image of the Groom. This does not happen overnight, but if you cannot see any improvement in your life from yesterday, and have no hope of any improvement for tomorrow, then it is evident you have yet to fully surrender, open the door of your heart, and invite Him in.
We are not to fashion our own garment, nor mix and match with what is offered. It is Christ's righteousness or none. Nothing less will do. Remember the man thrown out for not being dressed appropriately. Do not accept a counterfeit garment. Christ's righteousness is perfect, sinless, law-abiding, holy, just, merciful, gracious, and faithful. It is, in short, His own character. The more we surrender, the more He will work in us to will and to do His good pleasure.
So in conclusion, how do we stop sinning? Surrender. Surrender. Every day. Every thing.
