I am sure that it would be called malpractice if you went to the doctor and the doctor did not mention to you that you had an illness that would eventually kill you that could be eradicated or completely destroyed. I think that doctor would be guilty of killing you. Would it not be a tragedy? Would that doctor, who was licensed, have your death on his hands? Would that doctor be guilty of malpractice?
Friends, I know that we want to think everything is perfect in our spiritual life, but I can tell you that it is not perfect even in my own life. You see, just because I have eradicated the five major sins from my own life, it does not mean that God does not want to fix some of the smaller to mankind, yet just as big to God sins. I think it would be even a greater tragedy than malpractice for a preacher not to tell you the truth about ALL SIN:
Let us break down this scripture to really understand it. One might think that one could take the gift and still live as he or she desired and I could see where the Word of God could be wrongly divided to think that way. Just to see other's who are in a much worse sin condition than ourselves does not excuse us of our need to ask for forgiveness, eliminate sin from our lives, or REPENT. We could honestly say that we would not need a bible, just knowledge of Jesus and a quick prayer confessing Jesus to get us into heaven. Our Holy Bible's could be one page if that were the case. We would have no need for anyone but a community organizer to get everyone to say a little prayer in this world and we could move on with waiting for Jesus' return for his "glorious" church that said a little prayer. Oops, I misquoted that scripture: The NASB says it this way: Ephesians 5:27 NASB - that Jesus might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.
Back to our original scripture!
Our original scripture says "that the wages of sin is death". Of course, the is eternal death or eternity without Christ Jesus in the lake of fire, where you will not burn up, but you sure will feel the pain of burning.
You might say, I do not like a preacher that tells me I have sin. I would say to you to find you a quack doctor that tells you everything is fine and go ahead and die. What you really want is a malpractice preacher or quack preacher. Why do you think that our Lord Jesus said:
The world hates Me because I testify of it, that its deeds are evil. John 7:7
I know that I am not currently doing the MAJOR FIVE or six sins that we think is going to send us to hell. However, the more I read God's Word, the more I realize that I could be doing thing that are against God's will and that is a sin. Folks, read the word. Do not stay with a malpractice quack preacher just because you are comfortable in a church. Your comfort today might just be your pain of hell tomorrow.
NOTE: I am not a "pastor" nor am I called to be a pastor. Therefore, I am not trying to get anyone to come to my church. However, I am called to reconcile people to the real church; the one that is IN Christ Jesus.

Now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:22-23
Back to our original scripture!
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Therefore, we are free from Sin and enslaved to God (that means to do God's will and not our own) and our benefit is sanctification or separation and eternal life. (in other words, we are his holy treasure, set apart to do His will and not our own) If we are not doing His will, and His will is for us to first of all be HOLY:
As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written, "YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY." (holy, without sin) 1 Peter 1:14-16
