I believe David prayed for his sins of ignorance and Jesus asked God not to hold those who crucified responsible because " ...they know not what they do..."
yes that’s my point. If you do t know something is sin , God isn’t holding you guilty as of you did had they known and believed Jesus was who he cleaned to be they wouldn’t have killed him . “ father forgive them they know not what toy do “
David however didn’t ask for forgiveness of his sins of ignorance he knew the law said “ don’t commit adultery or you’ll be put to death “ he asked for forgiveness of his sins because he knew the right thing to do and didn’t do it he still committed adultery knowing it’s sin
David repented for his sins because he knew he had committed them and couldn’t live with it on his conscience when he hid his sins
when he acknowledged and confessed from the heart what he knew hed done wrong he was forgiven for his sin
“Blessed is he whose
transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, And
in whose spirit there is no guile.
When I kept silence, my bones waxed old Through my roaring all the day long. For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: My moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
I acknowledged my sin unto thee, And mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: Surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.”
Psalm 32:1-6
When you didn’t know what you did was sin you can never repent and ask forgiveness “ father forgive them
for they know not what they did “ that’s grace and forebearance from God
“ Father forgive me because I’m aware I have sinned and it’s defiling my conscience “
that’s repentance and remission of sins is the cleansing of iniquity through repentance and belief of the atonement Jesus death and resurrection.
precisely what your saying is the difference if I don’t know something I can’t possibly learn and obey it
if I hear something and learn it now I can obey it because it’s Gods Will he taught me in the gospel I’m now aware of the right thing to do now if I choose not to do it I’ve sinned and it should bring sorrow because that’s what leads to repentance
“Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.”
2 Corinthians 7:9-11 KJV
if I I ow Jesus taught me something to live by and don’t do it it will make me feel like I’m letting him down , like I’m not doing what I’m meant to do . This brings a certain sorrow to the heart of a believer when they have heard his word
it doesn’t if we reject his words but will if we accept his word and that sorrow is what corrects and teaches us as we go through life we need to keep our conscience clear while we’re learning from God how to live forever in the gospel
“
I came not
to call the righteous, but
sinners to repentance.”
Luke 5:32
“Then
drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.”
Luke 15:1 KJV
“Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, and said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: and that
repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things.”
Luke 24:45-48 KJV
Without us repenting and believing the gospel we actually aren’t promised eternal life we have a choice
we can hear and believe the gospel that calls us to repentance
“Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me,
hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
John 5:24
or can reject it
“I tell you, Nay: but,
except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.”
Luke 13:3 KJV
h
And be judged by the same word we reject now hearing it that offered believers eternal life through the bloodshed of Jesus and his word of eternal Life and final judgement
“
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that
his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.”
John 12:48-50 KJV
to hear and believe Jesus and the gospel is life and death , but it does lead us to repentance from sin and learning from Jesus nd actually changing and following the new we’re learning to be like him a child of God
if we won’t accept the part of Gods word telling us we have to repent and then saying I’m saved by faith it’s not really going to work because
“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Romans 10:17 KJV
faith isn’t “ I have faith so now I get to reject what a God is telling us to do and not do “
that’s not how we’re saved by faith it’s “ to hear and accept Gods word and then act as if I believe it’s true “
“Noah the flood is coming build this Sri I’m telling you about “
“yes lord I believe “
that’s faith
