No for you to believe one can’t become sinless is denying what Jesus came here to do, and you are saying Jesus failed. To believe as you do you need to disbelieve what Apostles John says, and also what Paul said.
(1 John 3:9-10) “No one who is a child of God sins because God's seed remains in him. Nor can he sin, because he is a child of God. This is what distinguishes the children of God from the children of the devil: whoever does not live uprightly and does not love his brother is not from God” New Jerusalem bible
(Romans 8:1-4) “The reason, therefore, why those who are in Christ Jesus are not condemned, is that the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death. God has done what the Law, because of our unspiritual nature, was unable to do. God dealt with sin by sending his own Son in a body as physical as any sinful body, and in that body God condemned sin he did this in order the Law’s just demands might be satisfied in us, who behave not as our unspiritual nature but as the spirit dictates.”

Yes before Jesus came it was not possible for one to never sin. Jesus came to defeat Satan/sin, and made it possible for us to never sin.
(1 John 3:5-6) “Now you know that he appeared in order to abolish sin, and that in him there is no sin; anyone who lives in God does not sin, and anyone who sins has never seen him or known him.”

Yes and if they kept on sinning then Paul said not to have anything to do with them.
(1 Corinthians 5:11) “What I wrote was that you should not associate with a brother Christian who is leading an immoral life, or is a usurer, or idolatrous, or a slanderer, or a drunkard or is dishonest; you should not even eat a meal with people like that.”

But what you fail to realize is that it is not about our perfection but the perfection of Christ. By looking at it as our perfection you have immediately put yourself before God thus sinning. It is what Christ did for us not what we do for Christ that gains us eternal life.
No we are not to keep letting sin rule our lives and stay in sin. This is not an "excuse" to sin. It is about letting Christ guid us and build us so we can kerp from sinning. Shoot, even Paul called himself the "chief sinner". He also tells us that he strughled with nit doing what he should but doing what he shouldnt. Sanctification is a growing process where we let God do His work in us. It is a lifestyle chage from being slaves to sin to slaves to God.
