  This would include the exhortation contained in this passage. Anybody who hears the teaching of this passage and still refuses to acknowledge God in all his doings is guilty of double sin for now he knows to do good by acknowledging God but refuses to do so. Is that you?

  This is the Law of Conscience which many people are not even aware is in the Bible. How many people do you know who, when discussing the Law, ever make any reference to this verse? You certainly will never hear a Covenant Theologian talk about the Law of Conscience. But you will hear him attempt to bind the consciences of all men with his 10Cs. Of course such an action is absurd because what he is doing is trying to put all men under Moses and only Jews were under Moses. That's tantamount to attempting to put American citizens under the Communist Manifesto!
