Job tried that...
Besides God says,
8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 58:8-9
IF a sociopath on trial for the killing of 10 persons were to use the defense: "my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways" I doubt if that would constitute a valid defense. And effectively saying that as Heaven is higher than earth, therefore my crimes and lack of action are ok, doesn't sit right with me. Hypothetically, when I go to Heaven, if I were to somehow start raping all the angels in Heaven, then that would be fine as I was in Heaven, and whatever happens in Heaven is ok because the Heavens are higher than the earth. It's also saying that sins or amoral actions in Heaven are fine...yet we tend to think of Heaven as not being crime riddled but free from sin and free from crime.
