Your description is the human one..that is how that rabbi could judge himself
Could you explain what you mean? I don't have any idea of what you think you're saying.

Men judge things by the standard of men ..God is all Holiness, things we do not think of as sin ,offend God.

In the Rabbis mind he had kept the law, but God sees the heart..

Remember when Paul said that as a Jew he was faultless?. That is because he was judging himself by the law.. but once he was saved he saw his sin and that he was not faultless.

Recently I heard a quote from a pastor that said something like this..

"there is enough sin in my prayer to damn me for eternity "

We can think we are doing things pleasing to God that are actually an abomination to Him..His ways are not our ways

His ways are not your ways. Got it.

You demonstrate once again complete lack of understanding.
