If the majority of christians believe that we need to stop sinning, we need to repent in order to be saved, then why do so many still sin?
For the blood of Yahshua to cover us, to cover the sins we leave behind, don't we need to first have knowledge of what those sins are? Then we need to stop doing them. I find it odd that the first one on the list of 613 is to love the Father Yahweh. His prophets explain over and over that in loving him the first step is calling out His name. Most people recognize that His name is Yahweh yet they refuse to use it.
Yahsua was born a man, died a man, lived a righteous life as a man. By his own words all the things he did were the power of Yahweh, granted to him through his righteousness, through the fact that he refused to sin. He came to show us a mere human could indeed follow the laws that Yahweh gave us. He told the religious leaders of the time again and again that they were doing it wrong, they were feeding it to us wrong, they were condemning us.

You are born a sinner so some sin you can not stop doing. Read what THE Bible days about sin to get your answer
Sin
Definition: Literally, a missing of the mark, according to the Hebrew and Greek Bible texts. God himself sets the “mark” that his intelligent creatures are to reach. Missing that mark is sin, which is also unrighteousness, or lawlessness. (Rom. 3:23; 1 John 5:17; 3:4) Sin is anything not in harmony with God’s personality, standards, ways, and will, all of which are holy. It may involve wrong conduct, failure to do what should be done, ungodly speech, unclean thoughts, or desires or motives that are selfish.
The Bible differentiates between inherited sin and willful sin, between an act of sin over which a person is repentant and the practice of sin.
there really such a thing as “sin” nowadays?
Illustrations: If a sick man was to break the thermometer, would that prove that he did not have a fever? If a thief said that he did not believe what is written in the lawbooks, would that make him innocent of crime? Similarly, the fact that many people do not believe it is necessary to live according to Bible standards does not put an end to sin.—See 1 John 1:8.
Some people may choose to do what God’s Word forbids. But that does not prove the Bible wrong. Galatians 6:7, 8 warns: “Do not be misled: God is not one to be mocked. For whatever a man is sowing, this he will also reap; because he who is sowing with a view to his flesh will reap corruption from his flesh.” The epidemic of sexually transmitted diseases, broken homes, and so forth, gives evidence of the truthfulness of what the Bible says. God made man; He knows what will bring us lasting happiness; He tells us in the Bible. Does it not make sense to listen to Him?

With all your imaginary god talk anything is possible to you but science says there are limits that you just do not or will not recognize!!! If a god exists then yes anything might be possible but if it is possible why isn't every one doing any strange religious biblical crap then!!! Religions some what gentle inculcation of man made up biblical stories has turned into brainwashing because it was done so often!!! Man made up the stories when an ancient King hired a group of monks to write it after he told his subjects that he knew and was great friends with the being up in space who caused the last solar eclipse that they all wooed and wooofed at!!!

A person can avoid many sins by practicing the Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin. It is good to work for the proper consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart. This consecration has not as of yet been properly performed.

As long as we are in this imperfect state we will never be able to be sinless. Repentance though is very vital to forgiveness - Luke 13:3

There is no possible way to know all the ways I have not sinned today. I didn't call and scream at any of my family members. I didn't drive my car into the neighbor kid who shot my cat.
I have managed not to eat any Christmas candy or cookies today. Every little bit counts.

no one is perfect except God alone, we all sin and make mistakes sometimes but we try as much as we can as long as we live to better ourselves learn from our mistakes and make sure we dont do them again, we will always be faced with trials throughout our lives but if each person paid attention to their own actions, then the world would be so much better

Christians tend to be solely focused on the sins of everybody else especially those sins they imagine are being committed in the bedrooms of their neighbors. Rolls eyes.

Because it's easier to complain about flaws and issues in someone else's life than to focus on the issues in yours.

Because it's impossible NOT to in a devils world. In the bible, doesn't it state the devil rules this planet?

They have a great double standard that covers that very well.
They simply deny that they are bound by the same rules as others.
We have to pay for our transgressions, they just ask and get forgiven.
They have the best double standard on earth, it covers everything.
