i think God should forgive honest people if they lack knowledge and you need to show mercy!!
OP ^
Pretty sure God did not ask us for our opinions.
God is all knowing, men are not.
Men Lie, WITH and without - Intent.
God has provided the means for the world to Hear about Him. And man has the FREEWILL to Hear or not, believe or Not, Commit to Him or Not.
God is NOT fooled by lip service (as men are).
God hears a Heartful Confession of Belief and instantly with His Power changes that man.
* God Offers and forgives the truly repentant, Because God IS Merciful.
* God Effects the change in a man whose Confession of Belief is heartfully True, Because God IS Faithful.
* God allows man FREEWILL to Choose or Reject Him, (to have the result of their own choice).
Because God IS Just.
Glory to God,
Taken
