RE: [TruthTalk] Toward a (biblical) Unilateral Covenant

As to 'most people' having a 'seared conscience' I'm just wondering if anyone can elucidate. The subject of 'conscience' is of great interest to me just now.   Lance,   I’m not sure what the question is in your mind.  Are you aware of the fact that the more a person sins, the less it bothers him? And if he commits the same sin long enough, he begins to have rationalized about it’s rightness for so long that he even begins to believe his own rationalizations? And before long he is blaming everyone else for whatever he is doing wrong, or for whatever is going wrong in his life as a consequence of his sin? When one sins long enough, God turns them over to a “depraved mind”. (Rom 1:28), after which their chances of repentance are slim to none. The Holy Spirit stops striving with them and leaves them to their own devices. Their only future fate is final judgment. That is my observation about what a “seared conscience” is/does.  It’s a slippery slope.  What are your findings upon the subject?   Izzy
