Quote:The knowledge required to sin is not just belief or cause to believe, as we have when someone tells us from the pulpit or we read it in the scriptures or hear the prophet tell us, it means real personal "knowledge". - Seeker
Quote:"And now, how much more cursed is he that knoweth the will of God and doeth it not, than he that only believeth, or only hath cause to believe, and falleth into transgression?" - Alma 32:19
The prophet Alma told the people to believe on his words as if they were a seed and plant the seed and let it grow. If it grew to a happy plant it was a good seed. If it died, then it was a bad seed.
Clearly he did not require or expect the people to believe what he said just because he (The Prophet) said it. And he told them in the quote above that they were not accountable to the "knowledge" of what he said just because he said it. He simply said that they "only believeth, or only hath cause to believe" because he said it. He said acting against this believe or cause to believe is a transgression and not a sin.
What then is required for a person to truly and fulling have knowledge enough to be accountable?
