In response to 2 Tim 1:3, we should show ourselves to be blameless! And this requires a clear conscience. In Job 12:4, we read that Job was blameless. Therefore, since Job was just a human like us, it is possible for us to achieve blamelessness in our lives. Job had a clear conscience before his accusers and before God! Never was sin found in him that wasn't already repented of in his past and he had a clear conscience before the Lord. It is important that we have a clear conscience since through our blamelessness we will inherit good (Proverbs 28:10). It is clear and very important that we live blamelessly before men (Acts 24:16) so that we do not give unbelievers any reason or occasion to mock our Lord or any fellow Christian. We must also show ourselves to be blameless before God (Eph. 1:4, 2 Pet. 3:14) and in the Law (Phil. 3:6). If we keep our eyes focused on Christ, then He can keep us from stumbling, so that we may be blameless in His sight (Jude 24) with no more wrong in us left to make right. | ||||||

Steve, 1 Corinthians 4:4 says (NASB), "For I am conscious of nothing against myself, yet I am not by this acquitted; but the one who examines me is the Lord." This verse does not automatically assume that we each have a clear conscience. Paul is stating here that he has a clear conscience, he is not speaking for you or for me here. Therefore, this verse does not 'prove' that we all have a clear conscience. However, Paul is saying that even though his conscience is clear, the ultimate judgment rests with the Lord (much like the scenario with Job in the Book of Job). This verse is not saying anything about all believers in general, you or me, or whatever. Paul is speaking in this verse about himself, and himself only. Reading this verse within the context of the chapter reveals this.No, none of my posts have been truncated. But I have noticed that the paragraphing and space separation that I use in writing posts somehow 'disappears' when viewed after I write them. Also, several characters have been inserted into my posts (making it look like misspellings) that were not there originally. Other than that, things have been Ok. | ||||||
