Not to mention, if we were perfect in keeping the law, why did Jesus have to die? We strive for perfection and repent immediately if we sin as we, well have an advocate with the Father...
Whenever someone wants to make it all about visible sin, you can be sure they are in sin hidden from men. Some men's sins are visible and some men's sins are hidden in their heart. But keeping the outside of the cup shiny will never clean the inside of the cup. Jesus says, clean the inside and the outside will just be clean as well. But the opposite is not true, so what good is it to focus on other mens visible sins, when your own inward sins are not hidden from God? Jesus ate with those whose sins were visible. He also ate with one man whose sins were hidden from everyone but Him.
