Trying to make Christian morality palatable to those in moral rebellion against God is like trying to make civil law palpable to criminals. They will never like God’s laws no matter how reasonable we demonstrate those laws to be. Defiant children do not care that eating too much candy will make them throw up or give them diabetes. They simply want candy. Likewise, those who want their sexual sin, their abortion, and a myriad of other sins do not care about the wisdom in God’s laws. They want what they want, and they will ridicule and deride those who say otherwise. This is not to say that we should not attempt to explain the reason for and benefits of God’s law. It’s just to say that we shouldn’t be surprised when this fails to change their behavior.

Indeed, there is not a righteous man on earth who continually does good and who never sins. (Ecclesiastes 7:20)

I will bow down toward Your holy temple and give thanks to Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your faithfulness; for You have magnified Your word according to all Your name. (Psalm 138:2)

Indeed 0 and didn’t Paul suggest we ought not to hold them to the same standard as they do not have the Holy Spirit within them?

Because sin is in the eye of the beholder (Ecclesiastes 7:20) applied to John and Jesus alike. The Pharisees said John was full of sin because he had a demon because he came neither eating nor drinking. Jesus came eating and drinking and they called him a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners! the Pharisees also said, “It is by the prince of demons that he (Jesus) drives out demons.”
The religious system of reasoning called theology is one of the most flawed and defective so-called logic systems ever devised in human history. People who are immersed in this pseudo-logic system are similar to an alcoholic or drug addict who, can’t hold a job, has lost family and friends, yet still dogmatically maintains they don’t have any problem at all.
Some of the Pharisees were saying, “This man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others were saying, “How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?” And there was a division among them. (9:16) (Jesus was called a sinner by both the Jewish religious leaders and the common people.)
