What does the Bible say about human ignorance and sinfulness?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that humanity, by nature, is ignorant and sinful, often likening us to beasts before God.

In Psalm 73:22, Asaph acknowledges his ignorance and folly, stating, 'So foolish was I, and ignorant; I was as a beast before thee.' This admission points to the spiritual blindness and fallen state of humanity. The psalmist's realization reveals that without God's intervention, we remain unaware of our true spiritual condition. This theme of human ignorance is echoed in other parts of Scripture, asserting that apart from divine revelation, we cannot understand our sinful nature and its implications.
