What you are posting sounds more like a confession. Telling others they are sinning while .. ahem.. cleverly hiding your own. Your secret is safe with me.
So, you have to confess your sins in bible verse? You underlined your favorite, dog eared part. What is that besides a confession of your sins? I read the whole lusting after women thing. What were you doing that makes you want to cut off your hand?
1 Corinthians 1:18-25
For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written,
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.”
20 Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach[b] to save those who believe. 22 For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
You have confessed your sins on the internet while condemning your audience as sinners of the highest order. You stated you are a Saint, and seem to be above applying those verses to yourself. That is your folly. You are standing on a pedestal of Jello.
Matthew 7:24
“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”
28 And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, 29 for he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes."

As has been pointed out, "sin consciousness" is rampant in institutional Christianity. A LOT of people are caught in it.
They don't seem to catch that it is not about avoiding, but about becoming what we can be.
The mind of the flesh is for death, but the mind of the Spirit is for the life.
Yes it is true, that most peoples's who say that they are christian's do not actually know God, and Lord, in a real way, but still are like the children's of this world, the world which do not know God.
And it seem that most of them do not want to believe that the man should stop doing from sin, or even want to believe that it is impossible, and this kind of mind is a mind of the flesh, which do not want to refuse the sin, but instead it want to live according to the flesh, or man own heart desires in sin, instead according to the will of God, whit no sin.
The natural man own's the mind of the flesh, but if the one bend oneself away from one's own heard desire, to the will of God, the mind of the flesh will mortify, and the mind of the Spirit will replace it, and so the man do not anymore walk in according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
And yes, if the one just say that the one believe but do not want be involved in selfless good act's of the faith, then the faith is death, and the man still walks according to the man's own heart desires, and the Truth have no space in that man.
So bend your self to the full obedience of God, and cover you selves for the influence of this world. The time what we live now is the predicted time of apostasy, and the heresy of it is everywhere.
May God bless you all in your improvement in our Lord Jesus Christ.
