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

Master the "Rules of Reason" for Making and Evaluating Claims

Claims are constantly being made, many of which are confusing, ambiguous, too general to be of value, exaggerated, unfalsifiable, and suggest a dichotomy when no such dichotomy exists. Good critical thinking requires a thorough understanding of the claim before attempting to determine its veracity. Good communication requires the ability to make clear, precise, explicit claims, or “strong” claims. The rules of reason in this book provide the framework for obtaining this understanding and ability.

This book / online course is about the the eleven rules of reason for making and evaluating claims. Each covered in detail in the book

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.
