Conscience
From Urantia Wiki, the encyclopedia of The Urantia Book
We should not confuse and confound the mission and influence of the Adjuster with what is commonly called conscience. Conscience, rightly, admonishes you to do right; but the Adjuster, in addition, endeavors to tell you what truly is right; that is, when and as you are able to perceive the Monitor’s leading. 110:5.1
it is hazardous to attempt the differentiation of the Adjusters’ concept registry from the more or less continuous and conscious reception of the dictations of mortal conscience. 110:5.5
Growth is predicated on the discovery of selfhood accompanied by self-criticism—conscience, for conscience is really the criticism of oneself by one’s own value-habits, personal ideals. 92:2.6 100:1.5
Conscience is a human and purely psychic reaction. It is not to be despised, but it is hardly the voice of God to the soul, which indeed the Adjuster’s would be if such a voice could be heard. 92:2.6 (110:5.1,5)
If we confess your sins, they are forgiven; therefore we must maintain a conscience void of offense. 156:2.7
A misguided conscience can become responsible for much conflict, worry, sorrow, and no end of human unhappiness. 103:2.10
Jesus knew how human beings are swayed by the preacher’s eloquence, and how the conscience responds to emotional appeal 154:6.8
Salem teachers proclaimed conscience as the mandate of God, the voice of Deity. 95:3.5
