So, you believe we can now sin with no condemnation. Wonderful. Let's party!!!!:cool: You bring the booze, and I'll bring the weed!

Very cute but it only elevates your ego and self-righteousness. Why! Because you are saying you are sinless.
If you want to live in a sinful body you can but the child of God no longer WANTS to live in a body that sins. That is why they rejoice in the
what Jesus did on the cross. He made a way for the ungodly. As a mater of fact they want to be sinless but they don't deceive themselves into thinking they no longer sin in the flesh as some do on this forum.
If, as you say, you now have the ability and power to not sin in your sinful flesh you are deceiving yourself but you can't deceive God. But as you claim to be sinless you no longer need Jesus' work on the cross and you are responsible for your sins of the flesh. His shed blood will not save you.
Rom 4:5-8 --- David Celebrates the Same Truth
5 But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness,
6 just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works:
7 "Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, And whose sins are covered;
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin."
NKJV
No where in the above do we see that God makes sinful flesh to be sinless flesh.
Rom 5:6-9 --- Christ in Our Place
6 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.
8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
NKJV
What is so remarkable to me is that religious people who thing they no longer sin in the flesh soon forget the story Jesus told about the Pharisee and the tax collector. They just can't see that they are doing the same thing as the Pharisee.
Luke 18:9-14 --- The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector
9 Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
10 "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself,'God, I thank You that I am not like other men — extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.
12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.'
13 And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me a sinner!'
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."
NKJV
No where does it say the tax collector gave up his job and became sinless in the flesh but God justified him as he is.
