The gospel of barnabas contradicts the Word of God and agrees with islam. That alone makes it ridiculous to be considered as a positive. It's more of bad news than gospel. Abeg, year is running to an end, spare me the bad news abeg.

Hehehehehehehe. This man's head is there. I forgive him all his sins by the powers bestowed on me. (Iseeeee)

I've forgotten that i posted in this thread sha. DevOne, so the barnabas book was destroyed and ignored se? That in it's own is enough proof that its not the Word of God. Nobody, no organisation or government can try it and succeed even against the most neglected passages in the true Word of God. Let them try and ignore/destroy Leviticus abi Nahum na! Heaven and earth may pass away, but God's Word cannot and will not plus must not pass away.

What does Jo know about being 'consistent with other body of truth'? Na you give James nickname na? Are you not the same person that was saying here last week that there's no space/place for your pastor in Heaven? At least, James get space for there na. Don't worry, don't let us 'spoil this thread' ehn Joagbaje, forget it.

Hope is she come to niger?

Senor Jo is quoting baby James ke? Is this a sign of homility or what? I thought he'd quote the most rev. Chris. Ph.D, M.Sc, B.Bc, A.It

The commandments show us our inadequacies and drive us to seek pardon and salvation from God. This salvation comes through Jesus Christ. He is the One with ability to quicken us i.e our dead spirit.
1Corinthians 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
The order in which God made man and planned for men to function was spirit, soul and body. It's what we refer to when we say that man[b] FELL[/b].
1Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
There's the order. We were created in the image of God. God is a Spirit. Our best CAPACITY is to function as spiritual. Many people function as carnal/fleshly, some as soulish. The spirit is meant to reign, followed by soul, then body. Adam by proxy blew our spirit's ability to reign. He went for the wrong tree. he put the soul on top. He got disconnected from the spirit. That's the warning God gave, his spirit died i.e it lost it's power to reign. It fell in the pecking order.
The best order again is spirit soul and body. It's the way man was made to function effectively. Little wonder Adam did wonders in that order, and glimpses of the sublimity were even noticed after the fall. Here was one man with CAPACITY to manage and reproduce paradise. Think of the expanse and size of Eden with i think 4major rivers irrigating it. Today, we're trying no doubt, but you know it'll take the best minds and monies in the world to build a sort of paradise anywhere in the world, not to talk of maintaining it. how many courses technocrats will continue to do, and the training and the updating, but we're tryin sha abi? Adam died about a hundred years before Noah's generation. I think he must have passed on some know-how to the people around him before the flood, though it just can't be like. Little wonder that Noah's ship builders had the expertise to build his ark. Two interesting things to note, or re-note as an asides, are God's warning and the people's attitude.
-God warned the people about judgement for very long, close to a thousand years before the flood. Enoch prophetically named his son Methuselah (Adam was still alive and well by this time anyway). The name Methuselah means something like "at his death, judgement will come". It's good to note that the flood came the year methuselah died. Anyone can calculate it from the Genesis 5geneology and Genesis 7v6. Everyone still spoke the same language, Methuselah was a popular person, the oldest man on earth, the son of the man that did not die. Anytime, his name Methuselah was mentioned, it was a message of judgement coming. 969 years and almost nobody cared. It was delusional to think of judgement, much less a flood.
In came Noah and preached for over 100 years and only his family seemed to care. We've been telling the world for over 2000years now that Jesus is coming to judge the world. they are only counting the time for us, mocking and scorning.
2Peter 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
2Pe 3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
2Pe 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
2Pe 3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished.
2Pe 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
-All that the people cared about was use the coming jugement to make some money. Let's help in this worldclass ark building project. bring in ideas, set up structures and foundations. They must have celebrated Noah's blueprint, maybe even improved on it to design other houses. But they never believed enough to come into the ark. today too, unbelieers are making money, building cathedrals and churches, camps and tabernacles, setting up crusade grounds and massive tour tents. people are selling bibles, tapes and videos, a lot of books, but they are not repenting. Once beaten, it'll be wise to be ten times shy, but we have many bold unbelievers(athiests and christains included) today.
So we note Adam's brilliance and ability when and shortly after man was arranged spirit soul and body. Today, many are fleshly(ruled by the body). This is complete chaos. Like Proverbs says, it is abnormal when the servant is reigning, there's disquiet. But that's the pitiable state of many. They are ruled by their body, driven by physical desires.
Many today have the soul on top(ruled by their mind, will or emotion). This is the seat of SELF/ego. We live in that age, we usually refer to it as civilisation. More of subtle brilliance than brute force which we call barbaric. But God wants to quicken our spirits, that it may have a chance to be on top, that we may commune with Him, and taste Eden with a view to the future restoration, Heaven. We cannot function well on our own, unfortunately, the soul believes we can. We're not created that way. The only hope we have is Jesus. He's the one who has power to quicken our spirit, save us, and live for us. we couldn't do it. we are but flesh, a totally different plane/dimension from spirit. That's why you MUST be born again to stand a chance. The commandments are necessary to bring us to Christ, who alone can help us keep the commandments, which will take us to paradise again.

In essence, the conscience cannot be relied on for judgement. Conscience is relative. We've seen development and underrdevelopment of the conscience in individuals and in the society, or ages past. God's laws are not relative, they are unchanging. The 10 commandments are not the only laws of God. The whole of Moses i.e the 1st five books of the Bible are also called law. further more, the whole of the Old testament is called law. Furtherest, the whole of the Bible, both OT and NT are truly the law. that's a whole volume you'd say. The summary of the whole thing is what Jesus Himself called the 1st and 2nd greatest commandments.
Matthew 22:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
Mat 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Mat 22:38 This is the first and great commandment.
Mat 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
Mat 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Also,
Galatians 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
A good observer will see that these two greatest commandments are not even in the 10commandments,in a sense, but are rather found in Deuteronomy6 and Leviticus 19 respectively.These 2 are the embodiment of everything in the scriptures.
The 10 commandments, or any of the Law are not given as a means of salvation. Keeping the law never 'saved' anybody. You can't even keep it on your own by the way. The laws of God are rules for guidance. A sort of measure/standard/guage for us to be Godly. God gave us life, and i think that if fellow humans can sit and make laws and regulations as legislators, i think God deserves to give us laws. a good side note is that, those who refuse to abide by God's laws will be judged by God's laws. The 10 commandments picture the 2 greatest commandments as they naturally fall into two classes. The 1st to 4th teach about the personality of God and our duty/obligation to God. The 5th to 10th commandments teach us ethical duties of morality to man/our neighbour, Little wonder that the NT says Love is the fulfilling of the law.
Romans 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

It's plain childish underrstanding and mischief to claim that the 10 commandments changed. For good measure, here are the 10 commandments again.
Exodus 20:2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Exo 20:3 (1) Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Exo 20:4 (2) Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Exo 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
Exo 20:6 And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
Exo 20:7 (3) Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Exo 20:8 (4) Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Exo 20:9 Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work:
Exo 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
Exo 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Exo 20:12 (5) Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
Exo 20:13 (6) Thou shalt not kill.
Exo 20:14 (7) Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Exo 20:15 ( Thou shalt not steal.
Exo 20:16 (9) Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
Exo 20:17 (10) Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's.

If you'd notice, Moses spent 40days on Mt. Horeb, and the other things written after in that chapter and others were explanations and detailed instructions on the laws which btw are all embodied in those 2great law[/b]s or if you want it, in this 10laws. This is clear in Exodus 34 except you choose not to learn.
Exo 34:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee [b]two tables of stone like unto the first: and[b] I will write upon these tables[/b] the words that were in the first tables, which thou didst break.
Exo 34:27 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.
Exo 34:28 And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
To be clear, the 10 commandments are written again in Deuteronomy 5v1-22. There were things that Moses wrote at the Mount, but[b] God clearly wrote the one on stone[/b]. the english is clear. people should learn to see context instead of bringing up foolish questions.
Deu 5:22 These words the LORD spoke unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.

And just to add something on the 'seethe passage'. Seethe means to boil(Like when a person is seetheing with anger, the person is boiling with anger) i.e boil a young animal in the mother's milk. This is absurd behaviour. Normally, one would wait for an animal to be matured before killing it, it won't be more palatable as a kid. It's likely to have been a superstitious practice in the heathen lands which the Israelites were not to copy. Added to that might be the possible health implications. We can apply that to our lives today by not been superstitious, or more obviously not being obnoxious. In other words, don't do crazy things, nauseating stuff. Others can try out and experiment all sort of weirdness, but believers should be more circumspect. There's no scripture that wee can't gain something from. No commandment is useless, it's our understanding that may not be perfect. BTW, we have the greater commandments, so let's get busy, and let Christ keep them in us and for us.

Ehyah pele. The storm will soon be over. Just don't sink in it, don't get into self pity. You're actually training for a brighter future than the others, and the only thing that is permanent is change. Your change will come. If you're ever discouraged, know it's for a while, take it to God in prayer, and endure to the end. You're not a slave, you're a worthy child

@all
To add to what has been said, throw in some light for the alive, and perhaps raise the dead. Permit me to post these.

Psalm 19:8  The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
Believe this and you're literally on the way to heaven.

Did God write the 10 Commandments and why would he need to? we are clearly told that the Fallen Man (Adam and Eve) possessed the Knowledge of Good and Evil (Conscience or Still Small Voice) and basically had the framework for a guiding sense of Morality. Why did God not give them such Laws? Must Morality be derived from God?  is the responsibility to determine what is right and wrong a function of God's Divine Law? are our actions Morally Right or Wrong because God says so? Do we need a Law-Maker and a Law-Giver to know what is Morally Wrong or Right. Do we need God to tell us what is Morally Right and Wrong? in such Strict Terms?

i think its good that we straiten some things out, especially the brethren. It should aid our 'perspective' and help us as a whole.
Man, every man/human being is made up of generally 3parts. Some say 2, some say 1. Everyone/most people agree that we have the body. From experience and from God's Word, we know that every man is made up of body, soul and spirit(3). Some say 2 because they combine soul and spirit as one, which is not totally wrong or a sin, 'cause actually its the same person. Even God refers to us as souls attimes. Other times, He refers to the man as flesh/body. And when we say 'everybody', its really a reference to the whole body i.e body soul and spirit OR more correctly spirit, soul and body. So in actual sense the spirit and soul are divisible cf
Hebrews 4:12  For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

And the arrangement:
1Thessalonians 5:23  And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Please again, its not wrong, a sin, or heresy to interchange them in communication, but i think we can do that with understanding. Even god interchanges them.

BODY SOUL AND SPIRIT
For time and space, i won't quote scriptures on this below but it's right in your Bible, plus btw we all know this through experience, maybe just never observed it.

*BODY; i won't say much on the body, most of us agree that we have bodies anyway. My little cousins can mention some parts of the body and their functions
*SOUL; Many believe its located inside us, we're even taught that it's an organ in the head called the brain. Well, i'll add that it is often an expression of the true SELF. Amongst others, three functions of the soul are emotion, will power and mind/intellect.
Emotion contains fear, pity, joy, pleasure, love, remorse, pride etc
Will power contains freedom, fame, wealth,  power, desire, decision etc
Mind/intellect contains imaginations, knowledge, ideals, doubts, inquiries, analyses, decision etc
*SPIRIT; Many believe its somewhere in your chest, some call it the heart. Me, i donno(aint omniscient), but i agree it is in every human, unfortunately USUALLY dead. Amongst others, three functions of the spirit are conscience, intuition and worship.
Conscience recognises right/wrong spontaneously, even without prior external influence. It seldom bends to outside opinion, you either silence/deaden it or agree with it.
Intuition is also independent of outside influence unlike the mind. You just know. some people call it "follow your mind/heart". You just have that inner feeling that someone is coming, or something is about to happen, or this is what to do.
Worship is Worship. What can i call it. Communion, Fellowship. True worship is a function of the spirit.
John 4:24  God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

  These are the 3parts. Anyone person can manifest any of the listed functions, it only proves that he/she has body, or spirit or soul. Having conscience or being intuitive doesn't mean you're born again, or spiritfilled.
A display of joy or remorse, or fear or pity doesn't make you good or better. A drive for power, or wealth, or a thirst for freedom of mankind or any kind is a manifestation that you have a soul. Being full of ideals, introspections, analyses(critical/analytical), a wealth of knowledge shows that you have something 'in your brain'.
  I'll add that no 2humans are equal, and we're not all equally blessed in these qualities, BUT the three parts of the human can be trained/improved/cultivated/'gymed'.
In BODY, one may be naturally blessed with good physique, sharp eyesight, ears for music, height, big head. As usual, we all/most people accept that we can develop/improve our body. We see these external things, people grow muscles, work on waists, thighs, biceps, make fingers strong enough to break a desk etc
In SOUL, one may also be naturally blessed with a brilliant mind, gentle or quiet nature, easily remorseful than others, shyness, initiative etc. Also the soul can be developed/cultivated in any of these areas. We live in the information age, and we see a lot of soul development. Amazing things that people know and do today. They call it "develop yourself".
In SPIRIT. Most spirits are suppressed/deadened naturally btw. Those who are naturally developed in spirit are often absurd people,shrinks. The soul or worse still the body rules in majority. one may be naturally blessed with strong conscience, or almost perfect intuitive ability, or worshipful. Maybe you've been at a religious gathering, two minutes singing and one guy's already 'in the spirit', and you're like what's happening, what has been said or done, what did i miss.That's worshipful
  The truth is that one, presence/absence of any of these things(in body, spirit or soul) are not equal to salvation. It doesn't necessarily mean you're on the 'right path', or God is with you more. Just proves that you're human with body, soul and spirit. Truth two is that most of these functions or attributes can be developed. Development/improvement is not equal to eternal life. That you've taken the right diet to become the tallest or the biggest, or you've trained yourself to smell a rat from 3blocks away or you know how to endure pain, walk on fire, fast for days is development, not right standing with God.
That you've trained your spirit, do yoga and meditations, communicate with spirits doesn't translate into holiness, unfortunately development of spirit can be very deceptive. Because you manifest powers that are not normal/natural. It happens a lot in the Oriental parts of the world, and people communicate with spirits(unclean spirits of course), get possessed, perform signs and magic, and it's in some churches ofcourse. All these don't make anyone righteous or born again, people are just tapping from the wrong/negative supply.
That we're so trained today, we know more than ourselves, as it were. We have extremely brilliant minds, logics and perfect reasonings and debates. Like lagerindoubt put it

it seems we are doomed to moral imperfection no matter how enlightened and knowledgeable we become.

IT world, jetage, great debaters, intellectual, scholarly, academically inclined. No doubt, we have well developed and are still developing ourselves. But these are not the things that make us good, or in a sense many say it 'morally good'.
  The truth is, any of the 3parts we develop will not make us good,bad news. A strong will, resolute plan cannot help us to keep the commandments of God, or be good.
Matthew 26:35  Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise al[b]so said all the disciples[/b].
Being religious or 'spiritual' doesn't help either
Romans 10:3  For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
Good news is, only God can make us good. How? By being good for us. We cannot be good. We cannot keep the commandments, whether they are 1, 10 0r 1,000,000,000.
James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
If we invite Jesus Christ, He can save us. He can actually live in us and help us keep all the commandments(He has all power and grace).
Sorry my post is longer than usual, i should cut here.

The ball is in the parent's court. I think that's well said. People try to play the blame game, and to shift responsibility. We cannot continue to be away for so long. Even at the weekends, parents still don't spend time with the children. They spend the weekend 'resting', or visiting, or with the tv. Man must make money, but how do we balance it with time to train this children.
Even more painful is the point that many parents believe they're doing just enough by spending money on the children.

Just to add to what's just being said, 'I can of my own self do nothing' is not a display of helplessness but of unity with the Father. The actions(and there's the saying that actions speak louder than words) of Jesus didn't denote one who was powerless but rather one who NEVER acted independent of the Father.

VALIDATOR:
It would have been better for you not to answer than you typing all what you just did.I believe you are smart.Please stop pretending to be otherwise.

I'd rather you believe in God than believe i am smart. I guess an agreement with you qualifies me for the prestigious smart status right?
Why would one vehemently claim that a passage from 1Chronicles was 'added' to a passage in Matthew? What's the bigdeal about that? Again, what erases the possibility that the 'earlier manuscript' did originally have that phrase before wear and tear? What's the new thing, revelation or doctrine that was 'added' in that passage or others?
I'll say it again for good measure. Heaven and earth may pass away, but not one tittle will be added to or removed from the Word.

How about obeying Jesus when he says 'no man comes to God except through Him'. Or that 'all power in HEAVEN and EARTH belong to Him.

Oga, but i have a relationship with Jesus, and He's consistently agreed with scriptures. How come this barnabas book cannot 'make it' into the holy book if it truly is God's Word?

Jenwitemi:
Then, you all are leaving yourselves wide open as fair games for mass deception(i mean, you're all already living in a mass deception as it is now ), and boy, are you all going to get it. The truth is, you will believe whomever is put before you, because the people who are going to mastermind this deception know you all like the back of their hands. They know exactly how to turn you on religiously. They have your mental remote control, your mental switch, or as Nigerians say, your mumu button. Heck, they've been doing that for many centuries now so they are adepts at mass deception.

You're free to show up as Jesus tomorrow then, let's see mass deception

Tell me it's not someone i know. Well that's very careless, even a saint can be TEMPTED. It's another thing to overcome or fall for the temptation. R.ape my foot, so if the man no trafel, it would be 7to xtimes until the wife comes. What's with leaving your bathroom door open when you and your in.law are left at home, after he's been going for your butt. This is a 33year old. Well, now she's got a job. My advice to her is to repent of her sins.
Ah ah 4times plus 1st. Jobless Homebreaker repent. When the man needs advice and opinions, he'll get his don't worry.

Make me a good child like Samuel,
He was obedient, also respectful.
He will never argue with his parents,
Make me a good child oh God.

How far the world has gone from such a good standard. What do we do to save our kids?

But some people do see genuine miracles, though i understand your view point sha. We do need a fresh breath of 'apostolic miracles'.

Sweetnecta:
@Olaadegbu, Kola Oloye, etc: What do you think of the verses below, relative to Jesus dying for your sins? Please approach the two opposing ideas, directly. Dont be shy people. Jesus, you must defend with all your might. The Bible you must defend with all your might, just as well. But when Jesus and the Bible clash, where do you lean. Who will be the winner and which is the loser between Jesus and the Bible?

Ezekiel 18:
20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

Hebrews 5:
7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;

God or Jesus Christ as you call Him is not looking for people to 'defend' Him, or approve or disapprove Him. He is looking for people to/that OBEY Him.
To obey is better than sacrifice.

Oh for friends to truly rely, relax and rest on the Word. They HEAR, they trust God for daily guidance. They spend much time with Jesus, they expect from God and they Follow Him. Being sheepish doesn't translate into following every tom and harry, every prophet, every pastor, every miracle worker, even every one used of God for us. His sheep Follow Him.
When He says "whose faith follow", He puts the clause 'CONSIDERING the outcome of their way of life, remembering/knowing that Jesus Christ is the SAME forever'. Are you following the good Shepherd or just following pastor somebody? Jesus knows His sheep, I KNOW them. You should ask yourself, would He deny me? Because He WILL deny people with iniquity/sin. He WILL cast out some CALLED into outer darkness. We need His daily guide.
One more thing to see is that Jesus did not say 'I am the only one that knows them'. He said 'I know them, the Lord knows them that are His'. Believers should note this because the former phrase has crept into the body. But it will be cast out in Jesus' name.

December 10 John 10v27


27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

The Lord our God is one Lord. This phrase, Jesus referred to as, in the first commandment. That Lord Jesus is the great Shepherd of the sheep. King David knew Him when he called Him Lord. David seemed far ahead of his generation, even ours. What made him so was divine revelation. Divine revelation is available when we submit ourselves to God's daily guidance, when we dare not climb without our guide. The psalmist knew the Lord as his Shepherd.
Believers today are sheep. If you are not sheepish, you are not a sheep. It means you are not a true believer and the Lord is not your Shepherd. Some professing christians are dogs, some are wolves, some are goats. Those who belong to Jesus are sheep, they FOLLOW the Shepherd. They HEAR His voice. My sheep hear my voice, they listen for and to the Lord's voice. They don't rely on experience, or logic, or popular opinion. They rely, relax and rest on the Word.

While i'm not here to validate or discredit the above testimony, vesc. you're so wrong wrong. We're talking about SS, someone who doesn't know how to do blood analysis? If you knew them, you won't even need to know how to do blood analysis to know the difference between AA and SS.

^i'm flabbergastedly pleased with the transcript of messages on that site. Beautiful step in the right direction.

Is there a reason i asked for bashy demy apart from the FACT that this guy up is boring and repetitive?

@OP
'knowledge of good and evil' is equal to conscience is equal to still small voice. qed.

On OP, because conscience abi morality is relative, but God's Word/standard is the same, unchanging.
Hope to revisit this, in the weekend
