I privately ask for forgiveness,

Dude, you ask forgiveness because deep inside you believe that you are sinning!

You are obeying law to earn righteousness and you will ALWAYS fail at that.

Your sin isn't eating the wrong food it is denying the works of Christ and substituting your works for his.

When Jesus said that the truth would set us free, it was freedom from condemnation (read Romans) freedom from the Law (read Romans and Galations) and it was freedom to walk in the love and spirit of the Lord (Read Ephesians).

What other burdens of law do you carry?

In what other ways are you still trying to earn God's acceptance?

[1 John 3:4] Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

[Romans 3:23] For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.

I guess my question now is....How can there be any sin if you say there is no law?

I realize I'm not perfect and that I have sins and faults that need to be overcome by letting the spirit of the Lord live through me instead of letting my carnal nature rule. Are you perfect? Are you without sin?

You are obeying law to earn righteousness and you will ALWAYS fail at that.

I'm letting the righteous spirit of Christ live through me. He will abide by his laws and so will I insofar as I allow him to live through me.

Gal 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Your sin isn't eating the wrong food it is denying the works of Christ and substituting your works for his.

Who denies the work of Christ? One who doesn't allow his spirit to live through them and live the laws he created or one who substitutes his own standards of righteousness for Christ's?

When Jesus said that the truth would set us free, it was freedom from condemnation (read Romans) freedom from the Law (read Romans and Galations) and it was freedom to walk in the love and spirit of the Lord (Read Ephesians).

You've misinterpreted scripture:

Joh 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Joh 8:33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
Joh 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.

Jesus Christ sets us FREE from sin. Not from his law:

1Jo 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

He does this by LIVING for us, through us, when we LET him. If we allow him to live through us, we WILL not not sin because he CANNOT sin. The Christian life consists of overcoming our own will, our own desires, and letting him live through us.

Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
