Whoa......! What about Hebrews 13:17 ?
"Obey them that have the rule over you and submit yourselves: for they watch
for your souls, as they tht must give account, that they may do it with joy,
and not with grief..."
As well as Ezekial 33:7-9, the Watchman is responsible to make sure that the
warning is given. Then if people disobey, their blood is on their own
hands. If the Watchman does not give warning, then the Watchman is also
responsible.
