You wrote,[...Jesus preferred the company of sinners to saints...the saints put on airs, judged him and tried to catch him in a moral trap...the sinners had no pretense...]
I am unsure as to what group of people you are referring to that you write here as {saints} that Jesus preferred the company of sinners to them. If you could identify that group of people that you are referring to, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
