I presented scripture from Acts which shows that people can worship God in ignorance, which you gainsaid

I did gainsay it - but what was gainsaid was not the KJV of scripture: it was the Catholic twisting of it. Read the whole passage. Know a little history.

How can you worship God in ignorance? We are created to worship God, but as we are fallen, we do not; we set up idols of various kinds UNTIL GOD CHANGES OUR HEARTS.

We're dead in trespasses and sins BEFORE we are justified. So how do we worship God when before we're converted, we don't KNOW God at all?

That altar was to "the unknown god." Pretty plain and simple. The Athenians were covering all bets. But they did not know God.

To worship God wouldn't one need to know HOW to worship him? If they worshipped in ignorance, what happened if the sacrificed people to him? Wouldn't that be upsetting to God since he outlined how he is to be worshipped?

That's why Paul took the opportunity to tell them the Good News so that the might actually KNOW God.

The only thing "rich" here is the Catholic pap that's being spread. Try reading the whole book of Romans with an open mind, prayerfully and completely. It's amazing what you'll learn.

If there was anything beyond Strike 3, you would have earned it.

I posted the scripture, which clearly states they were ignorantly worshipping God. You then try to add to, or take away from, the scripture by asking questions, to gainsay what you admitted was inspired by the Holy Spirit. You have thus rejected the KJV.
