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

Eat Meat... Or Don't.

Roughly 95% of Americans don’t appear to have an ethical problem with animals being killed for food, yet all of us would have a serious problem with humans being killed for food. What does an animal lack that a human has that justifies killing the animal for food but not the human?

As you start to list properties that the animal lacks to justify eating them, you begin to realize that some humans also lack those properties, yet we don’t eat those humans. Is this logical proof that killing and eating animals for food is immoral? Don’t put away your steak knife just yet.

In Eat Meat… Or Don’t, we examine the moral arguments for and against eating meat with both philosophical and scientific rigor. This book is not about pushing some ideological agenda; it’s ultimately a book about critical thinking.

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.
