Not entirely so. Still a sin but forgiven by people. Lowers the sentence. Victimless crime.

But with a worse sentence to come: eternity in hell unless one is Catholic and confesses to a priest.

Are we still talking logic?
 
Yes. To strike a sinner is to be a sinner. Sins are between God and the man, mediated by Christ, literally, the suffering involved. Did i sin and suffer, or was i weak in suffering, the spirit of God knows.
It is personal matter. As you say. A priests or other holy person to understand. Only Jesus on earth forgives.
 
Christianity is ALL faith. Faith to stave off the wrath in mass ignorance. Backed by observable logic called wisdom. “Wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”

He’s not on earth. There are those who speak in his name and they are human and therefore of sin. If only the sinless can execute for a sin in God’s name, according to Jesus, then logic dictates that only the sinless can forgive a sin in God’s name. Priests speak for Jesus and God, do they not, and forgive? “Father forgive me for I have sinned” are the opening words at confession… Yet the same priests also confess their sins with the same words so they are not sinless.

That’s logic which, as I say, isn’t compatible with Christianity.

He sent the HS amongst us for the forgiveness of sins. HSpirit proceeds from Him. Therefore he is on earth. That is faith and logic.

Who decides if someone is ‘of the Holy Spirit’ and therefore is eligible to forgive in God’s name?

He sent the spirit to forgive sins. We remind and invoke that promise. Truly, the spirit proceeds to the house that accepts, Shalom as jews say. Peace is offered by the guest, a meal or other favour is granted. In this case he repents, disoffends himself, and jesus dwells with him in spirit.
 
I will finish with one final piece of logic:

If the wrong conclusion appears righteous

then

The right conclusion appears unrighteous

Just as tomorrow will take care of itself.

You might think that is a righteous thing to say but it is a wrong conclusion.

Every individual deals with their own tomorrow with or without Jesus/God/The Holy Spirit. That is an unrighteous statement according to Christianity. So it must be a right conclusion.

The logic of a divine comedy.

Some things in the Bible are not logical in the sense that they are contradictory, at least at first reading.

This is very good. Other religions have concepts that hold together other concepts. Example, paradox, ties together contradictions. They claim to discover these. But Jesus has the highest of all. Miracle and God’s power. Plus the advocate, his Holy Spirit.
No logic needs to be made of direct revelation.
