When the Lord has clearly spoken what we are to do and we ignore it, we are sinning.
Many people do not read their Bibles or take heed to what is written there if they do read it. They do this because they do not want to obey.
In their heart of hearts they know they will be responsible for what they have discovered, so they determine to remain ignorant. It is called willful ignorance.
There is a Biblical principle that is often spoken of in our laws. The saying goes like this, "Ignorance of the Law is no excuse."
When we don't know the answer we are responsible to ask God for it. If we do not ask God we will be responsible for not asking and not knowing.
When we drag our feet in obedience to Him, after He has revealed truth to us, then we are disobeying willfully.
James 4:17
"Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin."
