Watchman Accountability ...

and every Christian must learn and develop their own 'discernment'. What exactly is discernment? It means “to distinguish, to separate out by diligent search, to examine.”
1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Ezekiel 3:18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
Ezekiel 3:19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

We live in this fleshly world with many 'gray areas' ...  but you need to realize this is not of God. His Truth - is right - it contains no gray areas. Right & Wrong are very clear and Holy Spirit will help us discern God's truth, if we only ask and wait for His answer. We are to learn to walk in Holiness as He is Holy. Too many are taking on the 'gray is okay' mentality. The road to hell is a gradual slope ... you start on the right path but allow yourself to be misdirected by accepting the 'gray' as truth. 

Here is an example:
God said if you eat of the fruit you will die. This is God's Truth! There is to be no compromise! Eve added words. If even one word is added, it makes the entire Word a lie. Satan introduced a 'gray area' when he contradicted God's Word and said to Eve you shall not die.
Genesis 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
Genesis 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

I ran across this on a 'christian ministry' website today. It shows how deeply error has been, and can be, introduced into doctrine. 
Gray Areas
Finding Truth When Life
Isn’t Black and White
A lot of the issues we face don’t have a direct scriptural response. 

Spiritual discernment ultimately has to do with wisdom and the ability to distinguish truth from error. Reject the gray and walk in the Light!
