Sinning “in this regard”, is no less a sin than sinning “in regards” to kashrus or stealing.
Very well, so I’m a sinner because I don’t potch my kids with a strap. If that’s the case, then I’m happy to be a low-life, worthless sinner in whatever regard.
Does that now make me a heretic, since I am now stating that I will NEVER observe this halacha?
