Innocent Ignorance
Ephesians 4:18
Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them…


Is any father so cruel, or hard hearted, as to disown and cast off his son, because he is a fool? No; an innocent ignorance excuses from sin, both before God and man; and God Himself will own that maxim of equity, "Ignorantia excusat peccatum."

(Dr. South.)
