A Short Time With Larry 9-17-2020 Willful Ignorance
Having heard the phrase, “Pastor, I know I should, but.” Many times, I became hardened to it. Then I recalled this:
“Knowing and not doing are equal to not knowing at all.”
The above statement is NOT true. When we “Know” we are at that point we are responsible to act in accordance with the knowledge.
Here’s one verse among many:
James 4:17:
“Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do, and does not do it, to him it is sin.”
James 4:17.
The consequences of willful sin are more severe than are those committed in true ignorance.
In federal law there is a concept that carries the idea, ignorance is no excuse, they use the terms concerning knowledge with, Coulda, shoulda, woulda, known.
So, “I know but,” isn’t acceptable in our dealing with God.
