of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering
for ever."
PRESUMPTUOUS
SIN
Numbers 15:29-31
"Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, both
for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger
that sojourneth among them. 30. But the soul that doeth ought
presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger,
the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his
people. 31. Because he hath despised the word of
the LORD, and hath broken his commandment, that soul
shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon
him."

shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall

without shedding of blood is no remission."

away the evil from Israel. 13. And all the people shall hear, and
fear, and do no more presumptuously."
BETTER NOT TO KNOW THE TRUTH
2 Peter 2:20-21
"For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the
knowledge [epignwsis,
deeper knowledge]
of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and
overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21. For
it had been better for them not to have known [epignwskw,
deeper knowledge]
the way of righteousness, than, after they have known
[epignwskw,
deeper knowledge]
it, to turn from the holy commandment
delivered unto them."

"The law of the LORD is perfect, converting [restoring]
the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the
simple."
Psalms 19:11-13
"Moreover by them (the law of the Lord) is thy servant
warned: and in keeping of them there is great
reward. 12. Who can understand his errors?
cleanse thou me from secret faults. 13. Keep back thy
servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have
dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the
great transgression."
Psalms 19:14
"Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my
heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my
redeemer."
