If we sin but don't know it, are we still guilty?

Question

Can God tolerate sin if we don't know what we've done?

... and if you answered yes, then babies can be guilty.

Answer 1

Yes. If you break the law and don't know it, haven't you still broken the law?

Answer 2

The answer depends on which faith u r following. As for me I am a Muslim and according to Islam the answer is no. U r not guilty if u commit a sin unknowingly.
But if u learn that u have done something wrong it is advised to ask for God's pardon but not necessary.

Answer 3

We all have an inate reality of right and wrong. It unlikely that you'll sin and not know it. If it did happen though, and you're a Christian all your sins are covered in the Blood of Jesus, whether or not you even know you committed them. If you are not a Christian, you still have to pay for the sins you know about, so why sweat the rest, you can't go more to Hell. It's either freedom or punishment. Very clear-cut

Answer 4

honestly i believe that if we don't or didn't know that we committed a sin then he can at least tolerate it...of course he's still not happy about because a sin is a sin but it most likely won't be as big of a deal because sin is doing something against god or his will on purpose.

Answer 5

,Yes But not in the way you thick.you'll eventually get it right. Mean while just remember when ever you do something take a moment to reflect if it has no negative out come.for you or anyone else. God and the word Tolerate don't mix. God gave us free will.He doesn't give it and then take it away.We are responsible for are actions and the consequence ,we might not like but their ewer's to fix, reflect that's your decision.

Answer 6

Yes, god wants you to be holy and free of all sins even the ones you done with out your knowledge

Answer 7

God is Holy and his very nature is holiness... Sin seperates us from the love of God ..there is something known as conscience in every individual and wether u know it or no... God speaks to every human being tru this conscience..and you need not read something or someone tell u that something is wrong ... God will speak to your heart and you will know what is wrong ..and yes he cannot tolerate sin.. but our God is a forgiving God ...if u genuinely repent , he will forgive and because He is a forgiving God we shud'nt take him for a ride.try to live your life surrendering to him daily

Answer 8

God is as tolerant as you.

Sin isen't. Sin is as man made as judgment.

Your guilty of nothing, treat others as you wish to be treated.

Answer 9

God forgives the sins that we don't know about. Actually, the closer terminology is:
He blots out sins,

or

forgets them.

IF we are covered by the sacrifice that Jesus accomplished. That's our connection to forgiveness. That's why Jesus did what He did, to appease God. Propitiation.

Answer 10

Well, i would say that depends of course on what kind of offense you think you commited. Most people know right from wrong, so that will indicate that if you have done something wrong, you are at least sub-consciously aware of it.
Some people we tell you that it works just like the Law, ignorance of the rules on society behaviour won;t exclude you from guilt and punishment just the same.

I hope that helped.

Answer 11

We're not really guilty until we found out what we did was wrong.
But there are some things that we just know is wrong without anyone telling us.

Like when Cain murdered Abel.

The punishment is less, but its still there.
