I think I haven't obeyed God 100% perfectly even for a second in my life. But that's what I am supposed to do. Am I sinning all the time?
No, because we are justified by faith and the righteousness of Christ covers our sinfulness so that God sees only Christ in us. If we go about trying to be 100% perfect we are trying to establish our own righteousness and that is a filthy rag in God's sight. And a person who is trying to be justified by a moral law has a curse on him. But the Holy Spirit changes us as we grow in grace. You can rest in Christ and what God doesn't like about you, He will change it.I think I haven't obeyed God 100% perfectly even for a second in my life. But that's what I am supposed to do.

No, sinning is the breaking of commandments (1 John 3:4). While we are born into sin, into a fallen state, the idea that God will have nothing to do with us is demolished by the OT and God's interactions with His prophets, and with people like Abraham or David. The idea that you exist in a constant state of sin is nothing more than a religious guilt trip. We are born needing to be saved from our fallen state, but God loves us just the same. Heck, that's why He sent His son.I think I haven't obeyed God 100% perfectly even for a second in my life. But that's what I am supposed to do. Am I sinning all the time?
That is only one part of sinning. There are more definitions.No, sinning is the breaking of commandments (1 John 3:4).
You're right, it isn't quite that simple. 1 John 3:4 and Romans 14:23, I would argue, are nearly the same in that faith is hearing the Word of God and then doing what we hear. So if we do without hearing we sin, or if we hear and don't do we sin.That is only one part of sinning. There are more definitions.
What ever is not from faith is sin. Rom 14.23
Sinning is also falling short. (trying to hit the bulls eye but missing) Rom 3.23
