The Dispensation of Conscience is so called because in this age man was tested solely upon the basis of obedience to his own conscience. This age may be called "the age of freedom" for man was free to obey or to disobey the dictates of his own conscience without any fear of being apprehended by law Rom. 2:12-16. There was no revealed code of laws until after the flood. The old theory that Adam had the ten commandments and that they were kept by men before the flood and in all ages before Moses is unscriptural.
The law Adam broke was not the ten-commandment law. It was the law against earing of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil Gen. 2:16, 17; 3:1-24. Any commandment of God is a law as much as the ten commandments were. It is definitely stated in Scripture that the ten commandments were not given to men before Moses Deut. 5:2-21; 29:14, 15.
