Well, God is entirely sovereign, so the only reason for human responsibility is that God wants us to be humble. Your conscience is mostly a natural inclination, it is not really consistent with scripture to trust that your conscience is always right. It is consistent with scripture to trust that the scriptures are always right about how we should govern our conscience.
Conscience, since it is a natural creature, can sometimes get it wrong; conscience often moves us to pass judgement on ourselves and others unless we have the scriptures informing us to not do this. Only the gospel tells us that the perfection of charity is to judge not, and to give our gifts to the just and the unjust without discrimination. These are not natural impulses at all.
Now when I say "judge not" I don't mean that we have to put up with crime, but that we should strive to make sure that where we have to judge, that judgement is temporary, and forgiveness is possible. We may make judgements daily, but we should not condemn, because that is robbing God of his jurisdiction as judge of quick and dead.
So in closing; God is king over all, God is the judge of all creation, what God says is final. Man is a temporary creature, his reason and feelings of responsibility are temporary, therefore his judgements are to be temporary. If God will forgive us, as we are informed in scripture he is ever-ready to do, then our forgiveness cannot be withheld unreasonably from our fellow man, if we are going to act as good Christians.
The paradox of God's sovereignty and man's responsibility only arises if we treat both as equal to one another.
