Numbers 15

(April 17, 2014)
There is something to be said about the fact that an individual who sins out of ignorance is not summarily forgiven, as we might expect in our modern society, but is rather subject to less severe punishment.  This makes sense – after all, we believe that each of us has the light of Christ in our lives, and when we sin we are each given sufficient knowledge to avoid that sin (even when we are deceived, or self-deceived).  Saying we didn’t know better is no excuse when it comes to the Gospel.
