Don Carson on 1 Corinthians 8
Paul judges it dangerous for Christians to defy their consciences, because if they get in the habit of ignoring the voice of conscience, they may ignore the voice even when the conscience is well informed and is warning them off something that is positively evil. Doubtless in the long haul Paul would like these weak Christians to grow in their knowledge of Scripture and the gospel so they will not think something is evil that is not (like eating meat that had been offered to idols); but until they have reached such maturity, they must not defy their own consciences.
