How far down the path do you have to be before you stop obeying the commands of other men, claiming to know the will of God? Does it stop at murder? War? Genocide? When do you look for yourself at your own actions? Blind obedience is not faith.

I believe everyone reaches that point at different stages of their life and that some never do reach that stage at all. We only do so when our reality is ready for it.
My parents are both christians but of different denominations - my mother a Baptist and my father a Methodist. The one thing both taught me from a young age is that I am responsible for the actions I undertake so I need to do so with care not only for myself but also for others. I was raised with an awareness that with life comes great responsibility not only towards oneself but to ones fellow human beings; so given that I reached that point very early in life.

Witrhout knowing more details of the question and situation, I would consider this potential benchmark; Is one following the person's assertions or giving God's command? Second,verify that there are 'two or more witnesses' to support the assertion/command.

Blind accusations are commonly known as "paranoia."
