In closing I want to say that the danger of not heeding conscience is greater than heeding one that is excessively scrupulous, as if one is born of the Spirit than greater discernment will result, often thru others helping somewhat, whereas dismissing conscience, vs. discerning what is valid conviction or impressions, leads to ruin. And yes, the devil can influence thoughts (certain governments are working to do the same), and as said, works to lead souls into two extremes.
Scrupulosity can be quite paralyzing though and block someone from their real GOD-given purpose…a purpose usually contingent upon one’s ability to accept God’s grace and mercy.
