Leviticus 5

(March 22, 2014)
Sinning through ignorance is an important topic for me, as I have come to terms with a number of significant mistakes that I have made in my life – but made ignorantly.  In our minds, we are inclined to grant blanket absolution for the sins we commit in ignorance, but we really cannot do that.  The Mosaic Law (and, symbolically, the Gospel) teach us that our mistakes and sins in ignorance still must be dealt with.  Our human inclination to declare ourselves not responsible for the mistakes we ignorantly make is yet another form of the natural man that we must overcome.
