If you understood the passage, you would not be asking leading questions.
I am not asking you a leading question. You asked me how many sins I have committed and I said every single one of them.

Now your turn. What sins have you committed against your will?

It’s not a leading question at all...just a straightforward one.

Okay, you say if you know it’s a sin and do it anyways, it means they aren’t atoned for.

You have just given an out to the millions who practice idolatry by worshiping idols because they never heard about the Christ. They don’t know it’s a sin, so they’re safe. Kudos!

“An high look, and a proud heart, And the plowing of the wicked, is sin.” (Proverbs 21:4) These sins do not involve the will.

Huh? As @TCassidy put it...paraphrasing it Brother TC...

The wicked plow to raise crops. They raise crops to grow food. They then eat this food to keep their strength up as they rebel against God. It most certainly involves the will.

But those idolaters don’t know it’s wrong as they are worshiping an idol. They truly believe in their idol, and are doing what they think is right in their own eyes. So, by using your logic, they’re safe.

Only if caught in the act and on the testimony of two or three reliable (impartial) witnesses. Uriah could have divorced his pregnant wife since her infidelity would be obvious, but since there were no witnesses, she could not have been put to death.

It doesn't matter. Divorce is not a New Covenant provision. No more than abortion ar any other laws God does not sanction.

It was still punishable by death.
ONLY ON TWO OR THREE WITNESSES CATCHING THEM IN THE ACT!

See, it does “matter” contrary to your claim.
Divorce for infidelity was much easier to prove that stoning for infidelity.

We may no longer stone adulterers but she may have different ideas... I'll make sure to keep stones away from her, when her ex shows up at family functions... Oh I forgot there is always stoneware... Brother Glen:eek:
As someone who grew up suffering all the consequences of poverty and abandonment that come from a father running off to play house with someone else’s wife ... I too support a return to stoning for adultery. A statistical fact, children recover emotionally from the death of a parent faster than they do from the divorce of a parent. What “two consenting adults” do can impact a LOT of other people.
