3. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary |
Conscience
that faculty of the mind, or inborn sense of right and wrong, by
which we judge of the moral character of human conduct. It is
common to all men. Like all our other faculties, it has been
perverted by the Fall (John 16:2; Acts 26:9; Rom. 2:15). It is
spoken of as "defiled" (Titus 1:15), and "seared" (1 Tim. 4:2).
A "conscience void of offence" is to be sought and cultivated
(Acts 24:16; Rom. 9:1; 2 Cor. 1:12; 1 Tim. 1:5, 19; 1 Pet.
3:21).
|
4. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
CONSCIENCE. The moral sense, or that capacity of our mental constitution, by
which we irresistibly feel the difference between right and wrong.
2. The constitution of the United States wisely provides that "no
religious test shall ever be required." No man, then, or body of men, have a
right to control a man's belief or opinion in religious matters, or to
forbid the most perfect freedom of inquiry in relation to them, by force or
threats, or by any other motives than arguments or persuasion. Vide Story,
Const. Sec. 1841-1843.
