It's what it meant

It did not look that way, then , nor now.

Also remember, the gentiles/ without Christ, without hope in the world, is often still true.

Seared conscience. Friends and acquaintances and hundreds of others who tell them not to worry, it's okay, everybody does it, so it's okay !!!

The "man" I was citing, was a (supposed) believer who still struggled with sin.
His conscience would certainly be affected by sin.
