At this juncture of the modern age we can all see that the rubbish from yesterday’s failed enterprises are rocketing into view as the best thing since sliced bread. Jews are trying to manipulate all the superpowers. The United States of America is proving that the unity proclaimd in tits constitution is a feeble thread. Europeans are lining up to try the rottenness of fascism and nationalism. Religious republics continue to try to hide their misogynist and xenophobic DNA behind economic successes. Rising nations in the Caribbean are blind to the primary need of an emancipated people. Denial of human dignity to political dissidents continues to legitimize abuse of power and homicide. Conscientious politics and religion are the last things we can label as dominant trends. For all these so-called movements of nations, families, and cultures, we have one piece of advice: if they are the big balloon of global peace and redemption, you can, right now, stick a pin it it.

Conscience long gone

Conscience is the mechanism designed by God to operate, as it were, independently of the Spirit’s guidance, and the extent of that operation can be defined by the fact that God’s spirit is not given to human beings willy-nilly but by the most secure process of election.  Conscience also operates makes use of facts, actual experiences, and genuine expertise.  Every human being is equipped with a conscience.  Popular religious practices include demand that adherents relinquish their innate curiosity, stop relying on their fight and flight mental faculties, and give full control of thoughts and deeds to the religious establishment.  We all know that that balloon deserves a pin.

Conscience is not “using one’s head”

Conscience provides the handles for a citizen to tell a government “I will not fight in the army.  It encouraged Yeshua’s contemporaries to stop paying attention to the Sadducees, scribes and Pharisees. Conscience made large crowds follow the Nazarene up and down Judea and Samaria.  When millions of religious people decide to jump ship and embrace a religion they had been conditioned to oppose and deride, most people will not recognize conscience.

CONSCIENTIOUS OPERATIONS

Conscience operates whether we are thinking actively or not, just like blood will clot when we are wounded.  No one needs to give the blood or the organs any instructions when a wound occurs.  The conscience does not measure its operations by our companions’ experience or knowledge; it does its thing wholly in reference to the individual.  This establishes a person’s integrity quite apart from group-think or the  corporate interests, even though we often find ourselves trying to put the church, country or family in the rider’s seat.

LEARNING IS IRRELEVANT WHEN GOD OR THE CONSCIENCE SPEAKS

Political parties and religious affiliations are famous for trying to create concensus and standards out of their own terms, with disastrous results. Because the conscience is designed to operate using one’s experience and without divine intervention it should be clear that the conscience does not operate on the knowledge that we have acquired.  It  does not need to interact with our knowledge.

People’s heads are usually brimming with nonsense and especially with rebellion against God.   Israel of New Testament time was reported  to be always going astray, always making mistakes with the interpretation of God’s message.  Since the first man we have either been drifting towards God or away from him.  If one looks at the empires that have ruled the world we can see we have drifted away from excellence.  When we look at our history of conscientious management  we can see that  drifting away  from excellence is popular, despite magnificent leaps of progress In technology and knowledge.

Criminal cases in court try to establish a person’s motive, in order to decide whether the accuser violated their conscience in choosing to do the wrong thing.  Conscience does not guarantee correct behavior, it only flags the choices which are available.

Conscience is not even “using one’s heart”

It is said that the words people speak come from their heart, so people have reasoned that if you repeat something often enough it gets embedded in the heart. And so it is thought that this is what is meant by “hiding God’s word in one’s heart”, which only results in a cheap version of obedience.  If a person learns to deny telling the truth because of personal privacy concerns the conscience becomes irrelevant in due course.  The conscience provides a persistent “Is that so?” as long as its flags get our assent.  Sometimes we consent to do and other times we consent to refrain. When the proceeds of conscience all fall into the barrel of interpersonal conflict, insurrection and civil war, stick a pin in it.  When, as is evident and proposed, the divided houses are the heroes of political and social development and maintenance, the balloon is hurtling towards a pin designed by God, cut from an unknown mold. Proof that any corporate entity possesses anyrthing resembling a conscience disappeared when time ran out for the ancient people of God. Seventy years is a long time for anyone to get their act togetrher. Two hundred years is a wasterd eternity of jive-talking about the land of the free and the home of the brave. Some conscience they have! 2964 moons and you’re out!

As you looked, a stone was cut out by no human hand, and it struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces.

Dan 2:34

And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the kingdom be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand forever,

Dan 2:44
