Governance of Conscience

This chapter explores the principle that God is the ultimate authority over personal conscience, emphasizing that no external entity, including the church or state, can impose contradictory doctrines. It underscores the importance of private judgment in religious matters, with a focus on aligning worship and faith strictly to biblical teachings. The discussion also highlights the complex relationship between civil and ecclesiastical authority, advocating for a balanced coexistence that respects both realms while maintaining the integrity of individual conscience.
