Romans 11:31 "For God has shut up all in disobedience so that He may show mercy to all."

I guess it's both.

Yes, that would cover sins made in ignorance. Thanks!

It sounds like the servant did some “deeds worthy of a flogging” because he didn’t know his master’s will. Unintentional sin can occur when one does not know of God’s will concerning the issue.

...

Great point. Thank you for sharing that. :-)

I think it demonstrates “sinning in ignorance” as it relates to lack of knowing God’s will. The servant without knowledge did not know his master’s will, committed deeds worthy of a flogging (which...

You see “nothing”? There’s no Scripture in your Bible for Luke 12:45-48? My NAS says Jesus speaks of two men. One is punished more severely because his sin was with knowledge (Luke 12:47) and the...

It's found in Luke 12:45-48.

"But when you unwittingly fail and do not observe all these commandments, which the LORD has spoken to Moses, even all that the LORD has commanded you through Moses, from the day when the LORD gave...

Sin "as we think of it" should come from the Bible, which speaks of sins made in ignorance, conscious sin and intentional sin.

You will find it in NAS, NIV, NKJV, NLT, CEB, CEBA, CJB, CSB, LEB, RHE, TNIV, and WYC. I'm surprised you didn't know that.

I believe that there is also sins made in ignorance, because the Bible says so (Heb. 9:7).

1 Peter 2:1 says it’s more specific than “ a group pass” analogy. He bought even false teachers and he is called their Master, which means they are his servants. That’s ownership. But, I agree,...

I don’t think we’re in disagreement on the outcome. It’s the “how” of it that we each see slightly different. You say “he paid a price that can span all.” Well, if that’s true, then he bought even...

I understand what you're saying. But Scripture says that he bought even unbelievers. He reconciled his enemies to Himself. He is the King, the Savior and the Lord of all (Rom. 10:12).

When the high priest of Israel made sacrifice for the sin of Israel, would they call God the Savior of Israel or the Savior of any kind of man/woman within Israel?

One can be saved only by his life (Rom. 5:10). It is through his death that he is the savior of all the world, because it is through his death the world is reconciled to God. He is the Savior of...

Absolutely. It’s always God who chooses first. But this doesn’t take away free will. Abraham didn’t have to follow God after being chosen by Him.

Oh, okay. I didn’t realize that was your...

Jesus made mention that there would be many Gentiles at the table of Abraham in the kingdom (Mt. 8:11). They assumed these Gentiles would become Jews through circumcision, baptism, etc.

Just as God so loved the entire nation of Israel and reconciled them back to God each year (even though some remained unrepentant in their heart), God so love the entire world and reconciled them...

It’s obviously not the same. One is yearly and one is once and for all. However, that’s not the point. Nick was researching what the word “world” meant in context of John 3:16. The context is the...

There’s a difference between the two covenants, obviously, but John taught a concept about the New Covenant that could only be understood from an Old Covenant perspective. Jesus was the Lamb of God...

I'm not mixing anything. John was a Jew of the Old Covenant which taught that the yearly atonement took away the sin of Israel. So when he said that Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin...

Well, I'm talking about Scripture. John the Baptist told Israel that Jesus is the Lamb of God. There was only one way to understand that (the New Testament/New Covenant was not in force). He was...

That’s not what it says. The sin of the nation of Israel was taken away. Yet individuals had to personally repent to be right with God.

Scripture says the yearly sacrifice was for sins made in...

Oh, I absolutely agree that the promise was in motion. But you said that Israel "didn't have a choice." Abraham had a choice and he chose to follow after God. Abraham's descendants, "Israel"...

I’m not denying that rejection of Christ (i.e. unbelief) will result in eternal punishment. I’m just making a comparison between Israel and the world. The sin of the ENTIRE nation of Israel was...

I think that's a great idea. And remember, consistency is key.

The way I look at it is from a corporate perspective. Each year the high priest of Israel would take the blood of the Lord's goat to cleanse the temple and the people and he'd let the scapegoat off...

Well, yes. If we don't have junk in the house, the kids won't eat it. But I've come to learn that even my best efforts may not work out as I plan. My oldest has had eating issues since birth. He...

That doesn't mean he's a glutton. He's simply making poor choices. Kids will do that. Too much sugar can add to the the love handles and make the tummy pudgy, but that may not be the case with him...
