Conscience ( Hebrews 13 v 18 )

It was dear William S who wrote,'conscience does make cowards of us all', he further writes,'a man cannot steal but it accuseth him'.All men are born with a conscience,was a person like Hitler ,and the like,yes.The most evil of men are born with a conscience,yet it does not appear that they had,why?,we have a clue in 1 Timothy 4 v 2,where we read of those' whose conscience have been seared as with a hot iron'.Another translation puts it like this ,'whose conscience has been branded with the mark of Satan.W Hendriksen writes,'By constantly arguing with conscience,stifling its warnings,and mulling its bell, they have reached the point where conscience no longer bothers them'.This can be very serious and can have awful consequences,for when the brakes of conscience is removed, then anything goes.Now of course conscience is not perfected, but it does remind us that there are things we should not do,places we should not go. Conscience doth make cowards of us all,because of the consequences of our actions,if you considering doing something that you know you shouldn't  do,obey your conscience,if you don't you will end up with a conscience ,that will plague you for the rest of your life.
