You have been misled when you pose this argument. This is a defeatest argument that "No one can keep all these dang laws so let's just throw ourselves on the feet of Jesus and admit we are sinners".
Do you understand what sin is? In the NT John tells us (1John 3:4) sin is breaking the Law. When you break the Law you are PHYSICALLY hurting you, your friend, your animal, your employee, your relationship with God. etc. There is no good reason to sin.
Also, many people like yourselves are confused as to which laws we are talking about. For example the Sabbath Laws according to the Jews are extensive. They accused Jesus of being a sinner, which we know he never sinned. But according to the Torah Law he followed it and did not sin. The Torah Law is for all people and YES, I TRY TO FOLLOW IT as closely as possible. You need to read the Torah Law - NOT the Jewish Law. As Paul said…
Rom 2:13 For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
The doers of the Law shall be justified before God. But then Paul says…
Gal 3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
Here he is talking about JEWISH ORAL Law not Torah Law.
The Torah Law was not just for Israelites it is for all people. Israel was supposed to teach this to the world and they did not.For example…
Deu 31:12 Everyone must come–men, women, children, and even the gentiles who live in your towns. And each new generation will listen and learn to worship the LORD their God with fear and trembling and to do exactly what is said in God's Law.
Lev 16:29 On the tenth day of the seventh month of each year, you must go without eating to show sorrow for your sins, and no one, including gentiles who live among you, is allowed to work.
Lev 17:10 I will turn against any of my people who eat blood. This also includes any gentiles living among you.
Lev 20:2 to say to the community of Israel: Death by stoning is the penalty for any citizens or gentiles in the country who sacrifice their children to the god Molech.
Lev 24:22 I am the LORD your God, and I demand equal justice both for you Israelites and for those gentiles who live among you.
So YES, I repent when I learn to STOP eating bacon and pork. Is your body not a temple? You eat pork you are slowly killing it. How does faith in Jesus keep you from killing yourselves when you poison your body?
Your argument is shallow. Yes, you can learn to keep the food laws, sex laws, the Holy Days (NOT Easter), etc. It is not hard. Quit punting your responsibility.
