What does it mean to be 'willfully ignorant' of God's Word?

Answered in 1 source

Being 'willfully ignorant' means rejecting or ignoring the truth of God's Word despite its clear revelation.

In 2 Peter 3:5, Peter addresses the issue of willful ignorance, noting that some people deliberately ignore the truths of Scripture, particularly regarding God's creation and the assurance of His return. This form of ignorance is not due to a lack of opportunity to learn but rather a refusal to accept the implications of God's Word. The passage warns that such ignorance is ultimately detrimental, as it leads to disbelief and rebellion against God, highlighting the importance of acknowledging the truth and living in light of it.
