2. Secondly, the vast difference in God's perspective between sins
Romans 1:21, "Their foolish hearts become darkened." Aristotle himself touched upon this notion in the third book of his Ethics, stating that if a person sins out of ignorance, they repent once they know, and if they sin out of passion, they regret their actions once the passion subsides. However, when a person sins deliberately and knowingly, it is a sign that they are entrenched in wickedness, and it is deemed as wickedness and malice. This is why those who have been enlightened by the highest form of light, except for saving grace (Hebrews 6:4-5), and those who sin willfully after having a knowledge of the truth, are considered by God as unlikely to repent. Similarly, the school of thought offers the explanation that the devils sin obstinately and cannot repent due to their complete knowledge. They possess full knowledge in its entirety, and yet they continue on their path.
2. Secondly, the vast difference in God's perspective between sins committed with knowledge and those committed in ignorance is evident in the distinct respect and regard God shows towards them in terms of the repentance He requires and accepts. This is true not only in the acts of repentance but also in the state of grace and repentance that determines whether God accepts or rejects a person.
First, when a person engages in the acts of repentance, humbles themselves for their sins, and turns away from them, God does not demand that sins committed in ignorance be individually repented of. Repenting of them in a general sense, no matter how numerous they may be, is sufficient for God's acceptance. This is implied in Psalm 19:12, "Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults." This confession is enough. However, sins committed with knowledge must be specifically repented of and confessed, repeatedly if necessary, just as David was compelled to do for his
