Not to Meddle With Others’ Consciences—Conscience in regard to the things of God is a sacred treasure, which no human beings, whatever be their position, have a right to meddle with. Nebuchadnezzar offered the Hebrews another chance, and when they refused it, he was exceedingly angry and commanded the burning fiery furnace to be heated seven times hotter than it was wont to be heated. He told the captives that he would cast them into this furnace. Full of faith and trust, the answer came, Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us; if He does not, well: we commit ourselves to a faithful God.— Letter 90, 1897. {1MCP 327.1}

(327) Ikke blande sig med andres samvittighed. - Samvittighed om Guds ting er en hellig skat, som intet menneske, uanset deres position, har ret til at behandle. Nebukadnezzar gav hebræerne en ny chance, og da de nægtede, blev han overmådelig vred og bad om at den brændende ovn, blev syv gange varmere end den var vandt til at blive opvarmet med. Han fortalte fangerne at han ville kaste dem i denne ovn. Fuld af tro og tillid, kom svaret: Vor Gud som vi tjener er i stand til at udfri os; hvis Han ikke gør det, overgiver vi os alligevel til en trofast Gud. - Brev 90, 1897.
