Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Mark 10:9
The pharisaical separate doctrine from desire. They put their hope in right living while indulging in wrong loving. They assume that the right answers excuse the wrong desires. They feel free to go on wanting wrong things because they continue to understand the right ones.
What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
Doctrine and desire go hand in hand. You must love what is true, good, and beautiful and you must do that which is right, good, and helpful. You cannot excuse bad actions by good beliefs and good actions cannot grow on the tree of bad belief.
