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

Original Question

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?


 

Comments on Question

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

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.
