Matters Of Conscience
Mankind was created in the image and likeness of God. So then, I think we
can safely assume that humanity came packaged with a sense of
responsibility, viz: a conscience.
But I remember what I told you;
That in time you're gonna pay.
Ain't It Funny How Time Slips Away
Willie Nelson, Billy Walker, 1961
That song is correct about the ex girlfriend, but the singer neglects to take
into account his own responsibility.
There are folks out in the world who've never once heard and/or been taught
a single thing about the laws of God, but that doesn't let them off the hook
because no matter how faulty nor how reliable their sense of responsibility
might be, they will be held accountable for how much, and/or how little,
they let their conscience be their guide.
● Rom 2:14-16 . . Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by
nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even
though they do not have the law, since they show that the requirements of
the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness,
and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.) This will take
place on the day when God will judge men's secrets through Jesus Christ, as
my gospel declares.
Now although retribution for uninformed folks will be lighter than those who
know better, they will still have to undergo some penalties.
● Luke 12:47-48 . .That servant who knows his master's will and does not
get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with many
blows. But the one who does not know and does things deserving
punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been
given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been
entrusted with much, much more will be asked.
Anyway, point being: we needn't fret that uninformed folks throughout the
world won't get a fair shake.
