But see, Jesus taught that sin isn't just what we do. It starts in our hearts, and then what's inside spills out.

Even if you're the government, you can't write a law or enforce a law against, say, adultery. You can stop - or at least reduce - the external behavior. But you can't change hearts by an external law. You just create people who are different on the outside than they are on the inside. "Hypocrites" is a term for that, which comes from the Greek word for "actors" - people who pretend to be something they're not.

That's not going to keep them from hell. It might keep them from jail, but that's not the same thing.
