okay i'm posing up a storm this morning but now that i'm an ABCer i feel like i've only got a minus 74837598 level of authority compared to the minus 9845734985743985 that i had as a neofighter.

so if someone knows all the options and knows the right thing to do and knows the wrong thing to do and willfully chooses the wrong thing i can see how they are totally morally responsible.

but if someone knows all the options and thinks they know the right thing to do and makes an effort, perhaps at great sacrifice, to do the right thing but it turns out they were doing the wrong thing are they still morally responsible?

because in my days before open theism, when i was some form of compatablist, i accepted evil because i thought i was doing what God wanted me to do. now i look at those actions and think i was acutally acting in ways that reinforced that very evil. am a morally responsible for those actions? where the pharises morally responsible for theirs? after all didn't they think the law was what God wanted them to do? what if what we think is right today is really way off? are we going to eat it big time when the judgement seat comes?

do we have a responsiblity to know in the first place? it seems like someone can make an honest mistake (like truely thinking hinduism is the right way to go) and sacrifice a lot to try to do the right thing and end up going way wrong. is there any grace for these honest mistakes? even accidently rejecting the gospel in favor of another religion like legalism or hinduism or athiesm or anythingelseism?
