And if we know something is wrong and do nothing about it....that is counted as sin.
Where in the Bible does it tell Christians it's a sin if they don't stop others from doing something wrong? I thought each man was responsible to God for his own soul, not for the souls of others. If we're responsible for the souls of everyone else, we're all doomed.

But we are also responsible if we see wrong BEING DONE TO OTHERS and we do nothing and say nothing. The homo-agenda and abortion are two such examples of wrong being done to others. If those of us who know these things are wrong, destructive, etc and we sit back and do nothing, we are part of the wrong.

B/c we are called to be "fishers of men". We are to, according to Paul, "snatch others from the fire". Would you sit and let someone commit suicide if the Holy Spirit moved you to intercede? What about nuns being raped? Or some thief in a shopping center? If you are lax, THEY WIN. Satan is overjoyed.
