Why is it neither right nor safe to go against conscience?

Answer 1

Because Martin Luther said it so long ago at Worms.

Your conscience, as even Walt Disney knew, was like Jiminy Cricket, you know, the BIG JC.

What it boils down to is that our conscience should be guided by (Oh God, am I going to say it? WWJD) JC.

If you go against what you know to be the right thing to do, you know you're in a heap of doo doo.

I trust Luther, because he knew it was by faith alone, the Word alone, and grace alone that could save you. All else fails. Luther trusted God alone, and not popes and councils who had so often contradicted themselves.

So if my conscience is with the Lord, I know nothing else is neither right nor safe.

I know one who has suffered in my behalf, His name is Jesus Christ, where He is, there shall I be also.

Answer 2

The few times I've made the mistake of going against my conscience I later regretted it. For a lot of years no I've lived by the philosophy of knowing what I do and why because I am responsible for myself. Since I cannot blame anybody else when it blows up in my face I try very hard to choose the right path after careful thought.

Answer 3

What is conscience?

The evolutionary type of knowledge is but the accumulation of protoplasmic memory material; this is the most primitive form of creature consciousness. Wisdom embraces the ideas formulated from protoplasmic memory in process of association and recombination, and such phenomena differentiate human mind from mere animal mind. Animals have knowledge, but only we possess wisdom capacity. Truth is made accessible to the wisdom endowed individual by the bestowal on such a mind of the spirits of the father and his sons' spirit of truth.

Simply put: human conscience is elevated by the spirit of God .If you ignore the spirit of truth that separates you from the animal, then you will retrogress and act like an animal; even worse. This is also why an atheist will believe he/she is good; they do not ignore there conscience, however they do not recognize its origin or its evolution.

The soul is the self-reflective, truth discerning, and spirit reflecting part of man which forever elevates the human being above the animal world. Self consciousness, in and of itself, is not the soul. Moral self-consciousness is true human self realization and constitutes the foundation of the human soul, and the soul is that part of man which represents the potential survival value of human experience. Moral choice and spiritual attainment, the ability to know God and the urge to be like him, are the characteristics of the soul.

The twilight of advanced knowledge will be upon us in the not very distant future......
