This hypothetical person will still sin, even if he doesn't learn it from anyone, bc it's in his nature to do so.
Yeah, that's the kind of answer I was looking for, whether a person will sin if they didn't even know what sin was. Wouldn't God cut his some slack though, since he probably doesn't know what a sin is in the first place?
Absolitely. Full knowledge and consent of the will play a major role in a person's culpability.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
