Kindred,
When you are groomed you are mislead into believing something is completely right when it is totally wrong or sinful.
What happens then when you allow for this wrong or sin to happen or you yourself is practicing this wrong?
The measure of guilt (or how sinful acts are) is determined by the Lord's yardstick.
Now, how do you get an inkling of what that Judgement might be?
Ignorance will not excuse guilt.
Because it does not matter what you believe, right or wrong, what matters is the state of your soul, negative or positive and how negative or positive.
Though that state of character is the determinate, the level of wrong or sin is also measure by how much harm done to your own soul, but the injuries to the person of victim(s).
Whatever the excuse is for doing harm, accepting of harm, ignoring the harm perpetrating or covering-up the harm, harm and sin(s) did occur and the foresaking of Lord's Commandments to love thy neighbor as yourself did happen.
In the end, on Judgement Day, it is the
standards (including ethics and morals) of goodness of the Lord that will matter.
If you have too low of standards that do not measure up to the Lord's, do not be surprised of negative Judgements.
It is best to error on the side of caution or best practices (high standards of conduct and ethical behavior) than fool self, others and the Lord and fail the
test of character on Judgement Day.
P.s.
I am pretty sure no matter how high your standards are, it will not be higher than the Lord's.
