NASB 1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.
AMPLIFIED 1 John 1:8 If we say we have no sin [refusing to admit that we are sinners], we delude and lead ourselves astray, and the Truth [which the Gospel presents] is not in us [does not dwell in our hearts].

 Question:   
I light of 1 John 1:8 and Romans 7 and the fact that Jesus is our eternal high priest and intercessor should we consider living in sinless perfection a possibility or as goal at which to aim. Can we in fact live sinless lives?
I realize we can be forgiven of our sins and when that occurs we are sinless. But can we go through life and never ever commit another sin?

If not what verse other than Paul's decision in Roman 7 and this verse in 1 John 1:8 confirms that?

Again I realize we should strive and make every effort to reach sinless perfection but my question is can we actually do it in this imperfect body in this imperfect world or will we only reach sinless perfection when were are given our perfect bodies?
 Answer:   
While I love and desire your opinions please please provide scripture you feel supports your position or refutes the position of the other side.

Why do some say Paul in Romans 7 is talking about his life before salvation rather than after?
