  • This dissertation-project deals with the role of the Christian's conscience in managing doubtful things. By doubtful is meant all things upon which the Bible makes no pronouncement, either by way of acceptance or prohibition. The method of study was, first of all, to pursue all occurences of the term 'conscience' in the New Testament, discerning what it is and how it functions. Secondly, the two major passages of scripture on the subject were exegeted (that is, 1 Corinthians 8-10 and Romans 14:1-15:7, which deal with the Christian attitude toward doubtful things). It was concluded that where the scripture neither condones nor prohibits a Christian's involvement in an activity, he has the freedom to participate in good conscience. Out of love, however, the Christian should use his freedom to forego involvement in an otherwise bona fide activity which might harm the conscience of a weaker believer, or neutralize his own witness to unbelievers.
