Do you think this is a present obtainable reality or is it something that can only happen after the resurrection?
Go and Sin no more...is this possible?

It can happen as soon as you are born again, with Christ formed in you. For even the Apostle Paul admonished those in his circle of believers:
“I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare…” (2Co 13:2, KJV)
“Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness...” (2Co 13:10, KJV)
What are your thoughts on this verse?
1 Jn 5:17
All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.

My thoughts are, this is for us to warn others of.
For (next verse):
“We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.” (1Jn 5:18, KJV)

Men certainly do Not live “faultless”.
Mankind routinely Trespasses against mankind.
So the questions become…other questions.
WHAT IS “Sin”?
In Basic meaning… Un-Belief in God and His Word.
Affects all natural born mankind.
Glory to God,

unbelief is just one of many sins. The greek word is "harmatia" which means an arrow that has missed it's mark. What is the mark?
Ro 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
If you want to discuss things at this level you really should learn the grammar. Your comments show you don't know the usage of the Greek Present Active in these passages.
Much love!

“Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.” (Dan 6:4, KJV)

I think that's a huge but neglected part of this discussion. It's not just lying, or stealing, or this list of things that are sin. All that is not of faith is sin.
All the bickering back and forth, poor attitudes, contemptuous remarks, presumptions of evil in others, accusations, on and on it goes, all fleshy, all sinful.
Being routinely practiced on this very forum continually by ones without any apparent awareness of their fleshiness.
The fleshy unrighteous judging of others as they proclaim their own righteousness. Or more often, innuendo, since someone claiming to not ever sin is not likely to be believed.
Much love!

Romans11:32“Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.” (Dan 6:4, KJV)
For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
You quote the words without understanding, cute pics aside. You can go and learn what it means, or you can continue to deflect, and interpret in error.
Your deflections don't hurt me, they hurt you.

It never ceases to amaze me the lengths that so called Christians will go to defend sin.
Amazing!

And, of course, if I quoted your favorite pet verses, and was on your side of things, you would have no objections, or challenge my “understanding” or appeal to Greek tenses…

“I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.” (Jer 23:14, KJV)
This is that presumption I was referring to. Ascribing evil to others in unrighteousness. And you don't see this being fleshy? OK.
Much love!
You are just digging your own hole, as you continue in this same way, attempting to discredit or marginalize me, or just making your self-affirming accusations, and you don't see that you are the one continuing in unrighteousness. All to avoid a simple point of grammar!
Much love!

Sin is missing the mark which is failing to reach God's standard and ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23) Sin comes from the Greek word "harmartia" used in the Bible, which comes from archery. This "mark" is God's bullseye which is His intended design for humanity, and falling short of it is sin. This encompasses both intentional and unintentional sins.

You have no clue what sin and evil are.
If you did, you would be on side of the ones destroying the works of the devil and his doctrines of devils.
You go and re-learn the Bible.
Unlearn the religious pedantic garbage you allowed yourself to be influenced by.
