The Sin “Winked At”

Question:

What is the sin God winked at?

Answer:

We do not read anywhere in the Bible that the LORD winked at any sin. The Scripture is, “And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:” (Acts 17:30). This means, as given in the Revised Version, “The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked.” In other words, He, in mercy, did not destroy the sinner.
