Definitely so, he believed in what he was taught [more of less].
The key is he did not continue killing Christians, after he met Jesus [some of us say we met Jesus, but we are continuing with the same behavior]. But, the problem with modern men is we as a whole continue to do what we know is to be against the will of God and most of the time it’s a willful sin. And for those KKK that refuse to acknowledge, that their actions were wrong, is just as guilty today as they were when they were active. Will God forgive them yes “of they truly repent, and come forth saying I killed the young black man only because he was blackâ€
We say know Christ, yes we know Christ [based on our understanding or the word know] the truth is we are familiar with Christ, but we don’t know Him. We do not have a true knowledge [know – Epinosis] of Him, we are not truly to Him.
Let’s not look at homosexuality in particular, yes indeed homosexuality is a sin.
Sexual sins of any kind are considered "abominations" to the Lord - Leviticus 18: 18 – 30; (Deuteronomy 24: 1 - 4). The Christ amplified these laws to include the lustful thought – if any man look at [gaze] on a woman….†We as men are all guilty of this sin if you are married and fortification is you are not. And guess what all women at one time or another "mind" has strayed from their husband. That'a right all men and women mind mind has strayed -And if they say they have not, they are telling a lie and the lie (sin) is just as bad as the act "God got us coming and going"
No lie, I know I an guilty."I work downtown Nashville and I tell you the truth"
Dishonest business practices are named as an "abomination" in Deuteronomy 25: 13 - 16, Proverbs 11: 1 and Proverbs 20: 10.
Oppressive treatment of others and a haughty attitude are considered as "abomination" in Proverbs 3: 31 - 32, and a "froward heart" is again mentioned in Proverbs 11:20.
A list of six "abominations" are also given in Proverbs 6: 16 - 19:
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
"wickedness" is equated with "abomination" in Proverbs 8:7. "Lying lips" are added to the list in Proverbs 12: 20 and a "proud heart" in Proverbs 16: 15.
Prayer is added to the list of "abominations," if it comes from one who turns his ear from hearing the law in Proverbs 28:9. That becomes especially significant in view of the consideration that all of God's laws are summed up in the great principle of Love to God and to one's neighbors and that Christ Himself demonstrated that Law in His life. Are my prayers an "abomination"? Are yours?
Why say all of this: None of us is qualified to cast the first stone. That’s why God call us filthy rags it’s “our lifestyle, thoughts and behaviorâ€
