:ROFL: ...Sorry, DKJ, I forgot to add the scripture passage..

It was in the Bible Study Class I posted on I Timothy chapter 4:

"Now the Spirit expressly says that in the latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own "CONSCIENCE SEARED" with a hot iron..."

1 Timothy 1:5 gives us the charge....

5The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.



I would think a seared conscience spoken about just three chapters later is one that is desensitized and rendered ineffective. It is not capable of love or sincere faith.

Rigt LSU, the seared conscience is not only capable of not having faith in Christ,, if you look at verse one of chapter 4, you will find that the seared conscience is without the Holy Spirit's leadership, because the person is in bondage under false teaching .

As Paul says the conscience does not respond to the truth, but gives in to doctrines of demoins and seducing spirits and isn't really interested in hearing or knowing the truth and has departed from the faith, believing the lie of their hypocrisy which gives way to false teachings and doctrines.

Which is the beginning and how apostasy starts....
