For an Ethics class i had to read some Thomas Aquinas and his theology says that if you dont know its a sin, then your innocent..
but then i was reading and found this verse:
LEV 5:17 "If a person sins and does what is forbidden in any of the LORD's commands, even though he does not know it, he is guilty and will be held responsible. 18 He is to bring to the priest as a guilt offering a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value. In this way the priest will make atonement for him for the wrong he has committed unintentionally, and he will be forgiven. 19 It is a guilt offering; he has been guilty of wrongdoing against the LORD."
Compared to Aquinas this is a blaring contradiction, Aquinas wrote alot to say one thing and its plain and simple in the bible.
But anyways whats your take on it, are you innocent if your unknowing?
