Conscience
This Thread will be used to examine the Mormon interpretation for the word / name called "Conscience" from the scriptures. What does Conscience mean in the literal sense and in scripture?

Conscience
I see conscience as light, the Light of Christ. It is what we instinctively use to judge between good and bad. It is found in every person that enters the world.
QUOTE Moro 7:18-19
And now, my brethren, seeing that ye know the light by which ye may judge, which light is the light of Christ, see that ye do not judge wrongfully; for with that same judgment which ye judge ye shall also be judged.
Wherefore, I beseech of you, brethren, that ye should search diligently in the light of Christ that ye may know good from evil; and if ye will lay hold upon every good thing, and condemn it not, ye certainly will be a child of Christ.

Depending on the way we live our lives, the level of light we have can increase of diminish. The more light that we have the more clearly we can distinguish between good and bad.
QUOTE D&C 50:24
That which is of God is light; and he that receiveth light, and continueth in God, receiveth more light; and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day.
D&C 93:39
And that wicked one cometh and taketh away light and truth, through disobedience, from the children of men, and because of the tradition of their fathers.

Conscience
It is very possible for any person lose all sense of their conscience, to have it suppressed to a point where they are incapable of feeling it. This is how evil people can do so many things and still live with it, they can also get to a point where it makes them happy or at least they think it dose.
This can also come about by many forms one that is very common is the 'traditions of their Fathers".
QUOTE D&C 93:39

This is when children are tort from a very young age, that something that is bad is actually good, an example could be slavery, or killing people from a different village or race then them self.

Using Abinadi's concept, if the Light of Christ is ones conscience then why is the only one thing that can save taken away from children? This gives them no hope from the start. (See more here: Source 3 so as to not deviate from this Topic)
