"Father forgive them, for they know not what they do."
Christ prayed this from the cross over people who were actively killing Him and who were not the least bit repentant about it.
In light of this, I have two questions for consideration:
1. Do you believe that the Father answered Jesus' prayer? I know the text doesn't say; but what do you think?
2. How should it inform our soteriology (if at all), by the fact that (at least on this one occasion) Christ used ignorance as a basis for which the Father ought to forgive sin?
