Scripture Post #1,302: *BETTER IF IGNORANT*

2nd Peter 2:

21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 

22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

Sinners who sin are ignorant to the truth. They don't know what they're doing. But stumbling Saints, who've been delivered from past sinful lifestyles, are likened to dogs returning to their own vomit. Or pigs (sows) wallowing in the mud (mire) after being washed clean. It's an utter shame if you know better. It's better to misbehave in ignorance, than to act outside ones self, knowing full well what's right to do.
