Bible Note: You stated, "I haven't found any passage where a person is held accountable for something he doesn't understand. God treats ignorance with mercy (1 Tim 1:13 and Heb 5:2).". Try these: Job 36:12 12"But if they do not hear, they shall perish by the sword, And they shall die without knowledge. NAS Prov 19:2 2Also it is not good for a person to be without knowledge, And he who makes haste with his feet errs. NAS Isa 27:11 11When its limbs are dry, they are broken off; Women come and make a fire with them. For they are not a people of discernment, Therefore their Maker will not have compassion on them. And their Creator will not be gracious to them. NAS Jer 5:3-4 3O LORD, do not Thine eyes look for truth? Thou hast smitten them, But they did not weaken; Thou hast consumed them, But they refused to take correction. They have made their faces harder than rock; They have refused to repent. 4Then I said, "They are only the poor, They are foolish; For they do not know the way of the LORD Or the ordinance of their God. NAS Matt 15:14 14"Let them alone; they are blind guides of the blind. And if a blind man guides a blind man, both will fall into a pit." NAS 2 Cor 4:3-4 3And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. NAS Hos 4:6 6My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being My priest. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. NAS |
