It is one thing to practice sin out of ignorance. However, to practice sin after knowing full well Jehovah God 's standards is unacceptable. Individuals can not use phrases such as "God knows me " or " only God can judge ". He already has given the judgement for those who practice sin, not out of ignorance, but out of rebellion.
