....if there is no moral case against murder, or for a day off...sin and morality not being the same thing..then what is the case for or against either?
In your estimation, ofc.
As i point out in the OP Morality or the moral law only represents 1/3 of the total law. So sin is not bound to morality but rather is more of a media/virus or infection in which evil can maturate. kinda like agar in a petridish. once you embrace said sin rather than repent or resist it, your body/soul is infected with a flavor the demon who sponcers your sin of choice loves and will begin to consume you and you take on the characteristics of that demon. ever dealt with multiple addicts? they all start out as individuals, but no matter which drug takes them they begin to share common traits and personalities which consume and replace the person you knew.
Sin is like the zombie virus. we all will return from the dead. those who have been cleansed by Christ come back as themselves. those who die in sin come back as the living dead. it does not matter if a given person was a saint here in this life, if he is infected nothing he did matters. All that matters is his current state of infection.
kind go over this in the video in greater detail
