Natural sex between husbands and wives has been corrupted by this oversensitive conscience, as one example. The world runs on peer pressure and the seared conscience feeds on peer pressure instead of following Godly conscience. I believe Luther was right.

Theodore Bachmann (Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1960). The treatise in question is <em>Avoiding the Doctrines of Men</em> (1522). In this treatise (pp. 131-153) he cites ten texts, the fourth one of which (pp. 136-140) is 1 Timothy 4:1-7. Going through the text phrase by phrase, in the relevant place (p. 138 ) he says as follows: <blockquote>"6. They have a seared conscience. that is, their conscience is unnatural. For as said above, where there is neither sin nor matter of conscience, they make things out to be sin and a matter of conscience. This is as unnatural as the scar of a burn is on the body."</blockquote> I found this in Luther’s Works, Volume 35: Word and Sacrament I, edited by E.
