The Christian Greek Scriptures outline three distinct ways in which a Christian could become bloodguilty before God: (1) by bloodshed, murder —this would include those actively or tacitly supporting the activities of a bloodguilty organization (such as Babylon the Great [Re 17:6; 18:2, 4] or other organizations that have shed much innocent blood [Re 16:5, 6; compare Isa 26:20, 21]); (2) by eating or drinking blood in any way (Ac 15:20); and (3) by failing to preach the good news of the Kingdom, thereby withholding the lifesaving information it contains.—Ac 18:6; 20:26, 27; compare Eze 33:6-8.

I remember being filled with panic, if I did not take every opportunity to preach to others. Not only was I responsible for myself, my children, I felt a responsiblity to everyone I came in contact with.
I would think to myself, should I say something or not........if I don't they might lose their life all because I did not take the opportunity to preach to them. It was a horrible... guilty ..... helpless, anxious feeling........scarey is more like it......I was fearful all the time in almost any situation I was in with someone.
It was like there was always a voice in my head never giving me relief.
As time went by I did not feel that way anymore. Did you feel that way ever and what effect did it have on you? and do you think it is true?
