Is the sentence construction logical? Cleanliness is not doing the chores.

The original sentence was "Sanctification is not obeying the law." I replace the sentence to "Cleanliness is not doing the chores." to treat it non-theological discussion if possible. I understand there are parameters of definition, connotation and implications.  A grammarian find the sentence correct (adverbial clause) but is it logical? Any help?

Dr Bo, help me here from the original post "sanctification is not obeying the law" the implication for the simple mind is...

In the scripture by definition, SIN is not obeying the law. while SANCTIFICATION is the process of being freed from sin.

sanctification is not obeying the law (if that is so)
John is not obeying the law
therefore he is sanctified?

What I see if we connect both then the implied meaning changes

Uncomfortable Ideas: Facts don't care about feelings. Science isn't concerned about sensibilities. And reality couldn't care less about rage.

This is a book about uncomfortable ideas—the reasons we avoid them, the reasons we shouldn’t, and discussion of dozens of examples that might infuriate you, offend you, or at least make you uncomfortable.

Many of our ideas about the world are based more on feelings than facts, sensibilities than science, and rage than reality. We gravitate toward ideas that make us feel comfortable in areas such as religion, politics, philosophy, social justice, love and sex, humanity, and morality. We avoid ideas that make us feel uncomfortable. This avoidance is a largely unconscious process that affects our judgment and gets in the way of our ability to reach rational and reasonable conclusions. By understanding how our mind works in this area, we can start embracing uncomfortable ideas and be better informed, be more understanding of others, and make better decisions in all areas of life.

By the common uses of "logical," I don't see how this applies. I see no problem with inconsistency or with the structure. It doesn't make sense to me, but I am sure it can be explained in a way where there is a kernel of truth.
