Yeah definitely. You know Scientology tells you some really interesting stuff about right and wrong. Just go to a local Scientology church or mission and ask someone to look at what the Ethics book (the writer of this book L. Ron Hubbard) has to say about right and wrong. And whenever you come to a time in life where your stuck even the little things like hmm I really need to get to work and get this little thing done and pay some bills. But it's my son's/daughter's soccer game. Well just stop and think. What's more important for the fam and your life. Go to the soccer game or get this thing done at work so you have food on the plate next month. It's simple. Work . . . no matter how hard it is to see the look at your daughter's/son's face when you tell them they're gonna have to skip soccer that day or whatever you know its the right decision. Or if you know that you don't really need to go to work it can for sure be taken care of then it's no problem. You know what's right and wrong. Just stop and think what is gonna be the most good for yourself your family the group of people you associate with all the people in the world your environment your life and everything. The greatest good towards all those things is going to be the right decision and the right choice towards your optimum survival on this planet. Sometimes some of those decisions might upset something but the greater good is always the right decision.

Yes, one can develop a sense of right and wrong through personal experiences, societal norms, empathy, and education. While The Bible can provide guidance for some, morality is a complex concept that can be understood and practiced independent of religious texts.

∙ 7y agoAlmost all religions provide some guidance about right and wrong, including the Christian religion. Christians believe that all they need in order to live as good people is a knowledge of the Bible, but actually no one ever reads through the Bible whenever they intend to make important moral decisions. The evidence is that Christians are no less likely to be convicted of criminal offences than are non-Christians. In fact, the Bible can actually be used to 'prove' that what is unethical is 'right', if that is what the person wishes to believe. For example, religion may approve of slavery in one generation, then disapprove of it in another.
So the question is whether you could know right from wrong if you do not read the Bible. The answer is that ethics is also taught as a secular subject. When taught as a branch of philosophy, ethics looks for an absolute definition of morality, independent of religious tradition. By studying secular ethics, people can know that slavery is wrong, regardless of the Old Testament or what New Testament authors like St Paul may have said.

How old was Eve in the Bible when she sinned?
The Bible doesn't say, so we don't know. As she was a woman (not a child) when she was created, the matter of 'age' would seem to be somewhat irrelevant. She was evidently old enough to speak and was of marriagable age, and she had a degree of knowledge of right and wrong. Doubtless she was also old enough to know better.

Is it ok to say that your Will you really your Conscience?
The will is what allows every person to decide, or, to make a choice. The conscience tells you what is right and what is wrong. However, not all consciences are good. The Bible talks about good, evil, and seared consciences. The conscience then, cannot always be trusted. The best way to determine right from wrong is to go by the Bible's stand on the matter. This standard is what everyone will be judged by. Then once the evidence is given from the Bible as to what is right and what is not right, then we use our will to decide which one we will do; we then choose whether or not we will do what is right. Feelings are not to be trusted to determine right from wrong. Satan can inspire feelings in us, just like he can suggest thoughts into are heads which come to us as temptations. Know you Bible, understand it, lean not unto your own understanding, and know and trust that the Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth. But be careful, lest God try to tell you something, but you, knowing everything, refuse to be taught by Him, because, you figure, you know what is right and what is wrong and that God must accept your view of this. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

From the way the question is worded, it is impossible to tell whether she is wrong or right, let alone why. In order to answer this, we would need to know what the situation is and what her reaction to it is in order for us to determine if she is wrong and, if so, why.
