No, God does, but Satan does not. Satan approaches man primarily through the flesh. He may ultimately gain access to the spirit, but that is only when God has abandoned him to a reprobate mind.

I would say that there is SOME truth to the left shoulder, right shoulder thing. Lance wrote: > Further, I'd understand you to mean all of humankind > anywhere and, at any point in human history. Yes, all of mankind anywhere at any point in human history has at some point experienced the voice of the conscience telling him what is right. However, some men rebel so much, that God gives them over to a reprobate mind. The conscience in such people is silenced in regards to being a witness of God to them. Peace be with you.
