Line 15: − ==Illustration of the four mental states==+ − -You are an "atheist." That is, you know that God exists, and you are aware of His will, but you decide to follow Satan's will instead. God forbids certain acts, but you decide to do those acts precisely because they are against God's will. You are intentionally culpable. Nevertheless, Jesus died for your sins, and it is not too late to repent, as long as you do so before you die. − − -You have been raised in God's church, but you claim to be an "agnostic." Even though you know that God forbids your acts, you do them anyway. You are knowingly culpable. Nevertheless, Jesus died for your sins, and it is not too late to repent, as long as you do so before you die. − − -You are a good Christian. Someone tells you your acts are OK. You suspect God does not approve, but instead of consulting with your Pastor, you do it anyway. Suppose you have not actually heard your pastor make it clear that what you are doing is forbidden, and you ignore your conscience screaming at you to stop doing it every time you do it. You were reckless, because you should have known better than to do what you kept doing, over and over. Nevertheless, Jesus died for your sins, and it is not too late too repent, as long as you do so before you die. − − -You committed acts that God forbade. You should have been a Christian, and you should not have done what you did. Better to realize that nevertheless, Jesus died for your sins, and it is not too late to repent, as long as you do so before you die. − − Even negligence suffices to separate one from God eternally, and thereby give up the internal salvation offered to each of us by Christ. − − −
Undo revision 1718409 by DanielAPulido (talk) non-encyclopedic wording - don't directly use second person wording
An offence of reckless driving for example is much more serious than one of careless driving. In order to prove carelessness it is sufficient to prove a mistake, recklessness on the other hand requires an actual knowledge of the negative potential consequences of an action, but still taking that action.
