Ignorance Does Not Excuse Disobedience

God has never said that ignorance should be our excuse in matters of religion. If any do not know what the law of God requires of them, they had better learn, and that speedily; for they have opportunity to do so, and negligence is but adding to the sin of disobedience. As to the heathen, we need not occupy our time in speculations about them. God has only said that they that sin without law shall also perish without law. And whatever may be their fate, we who live in a land of light and Bibles, know or may know our duty, and are responsible therefor.
