So do you automatically assume that everyone makes this kind of mistake from time to time? Do you understand the difference between a sin and a mistake? If I drop my car keys accidentally, is that a sin in your eyes? When I hear Christians talk about how they sin every once in awhile, usually they are talking about going out and getting drunk on the weekend or fornicating with someone. Some of them include lying and losing their temper and getting angry. What other kinds of "sins" besides speeding do you have in mind when you say "inadvertent sins" that everyone does? Even the secular powers do not consider driving above the speed limit a crime, yet you seem to treat this kind of mistake the same as murder. Do you think God's wrath boils against you when you accidentally slip above the speed limit a few miles per hour? Do you think God's attitude toward it changes when men's laws change and increase the speed limit for a particular road? For example, was God angry with those who drove 60 mph on the interstate back when the law said the speed limit was 55, and now that man says that 70 mph is ok God does not have a problem with it? I guess what I'm trying to say is, do you think that God's sense of morality is dependent upon what men consider right and wrong, or are men subject to God's sense of morality? Peace be with you.
