Bible Question: In this verse "Luke 23:34" is Jesus infering that the entire mankind did not know what they were doing? Was Jesus referring only specifically to the uncoverted? Is it possible that converts are also ignorant of the Lord's teachings/ways? |
Bible Answer: It is true that many christians are to some extent ignorant of our Lord's teaching, that however, is not what is happening here, Jesus is asking for forgivness for the ones who were killing Him, not however the Jewish Leaders, who knew full well what they were doing. |
