it says in the bible that we were given the same power that raised Jesus from the grave- pretty powerful don't you think? We can, through the shed blood of Jesus live holy and righteous lives, if we choose, We, being humans will not always be perfect, but if we are truly born again believers we can sin less and less, and become more like Him everyday.

It is impossible for us to never sin after salvation because we still possess our sin nature. But God has promised to put a limit on our temptation to sin.
1 Cor 10:13 But remember that the temptations that come into your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will keep the temptation from becoming so strong that you can't stand up against it. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you will not give in to it.

Romans 3:23&24 "for ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus" and Romans 7:15 "For what I am doing I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I practice" but the best one is Phillipians 1:6 " being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ". The good work begins when you accept Jesus into your life and isn't complete until Jesus returns.
God bless you.

Sin is part of life like illness, bad jobs, and money problems. Can't live without sinning. So sin and repent, sin, repent, sin, repent......Just try not to do the same stuff over and over, and use your judgement. Nothing really bad, as in 10 commandments.

You can't measure it. Period. Have you ever tried? What units would you use? Where woulld you do that?
Also, the power you refer to is not some kind of gained discipline. It is God, who is the Spirit, with you who is with you.
In answer to the second question,\
yes, but only in certain scenarios.
For instance, if I was two seconds before I died, than that is likely.
But otherwise besides the scenario above and a few others,
no,

You can live a sin free life. First, you must sincerely repent when the lord speaks to your heart. Second, be baptized in Jesus name for the repentance of your sins. Thirdly, tary for the holyghost and speak in tongues as evidence of your gift from god. After you recieve the holyghost you shall recieve power to live holy.

No, we can't avoid sin. We only have power from God to overcome sin in our lives as it is revealed to us. And even then it is a life long battle.
Rom 7:14-25
14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do-this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
21 So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God's law; 23 but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? 25 Thanks be to God-through Jesus Christ our Lord!

Impossible. Besides there is no such thing as sin. Its just used to make people feel guilty about everything.

Sin is an outdated concept that should have long ago be relegated to history.
