Romans 2:14. The Bible tells us that God made everyone with a conscience. The Bible goes on to say that everyone's conscience has God's standards written in them of what is good and what is bad (Romans 2:14-15, "For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;"). If this is so, how can anyone be without conscience? This can be answered by Romans 1:28. People without conscience choose not to retain God in their knowledge. In turn, God turns them over to a reprobate mind. A path of sin, destruction, and eventually death (Romans 1:28, "And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;").

Titus 1:16. Many people profess to know God, but they are without conscience. Many people may really believe they know God, but in their works they deny Him. Many people may talk about their love of God and profess His word, but their action show they are without conscience (Titus 1:15-16, "Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.").

Titus 1 BIBLE SCRIPTURE Titus 1:16, "They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate."

Romans 1:28. God does not desire for us to be separated from him. It is our choice to not be with Him. Many of us do not desire to retain God in our conscience because it is not convenient to our fleshly desires (Romans 1:28, "And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;"). Rather than being filled with God's knowledge, we would rather be filled with unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, envy, deceit, and unmerciful. Romans 1:29-31 goes on listing all the things we would rather do than retain God in our conscience. This is being without conscience.
