..Does it say if you don't confront your brother about his wrong doing and he dies in his sin his blood is on your hands?
I've been looking liking crazy for it. I know I've read it.

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 3:18 and in the Gospels as well.Check out Isaiah too.It means that to be non-judgmental is in reality a worse sin than being overly judgmental or self-righteous.We have to tell people the truth or they will come up to us at the Great White Throne Judgment and say:Why didn't you tell me the truth?I know I was a dipstick,but this is eternity now.You shouda tried harder.

1 John 5:15-17 says
And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for.
If you see a Christian brother or sister sinning in a way that does not lead to death, you should pray, and God will give that person life. But there is a sin that leads to death, and I am not saying you should pray for those who commit it. All wicked actions are sin, but not every sin leads to death.

Ezekiel 3:16-19 and 33:1-11.

I don't believe it does. Granted, my memory is not perfect, but I've read several versions of the bible.
The closest I recall coming to that is that we should not fight with our brothers (or sisters) - but if we do, we should not come to God until we have mended the rift.
Or to admonish someone for a wrong doing once or twice, but if they don't listen then let it go.
Jesus over and over says preach the GOOD NEWS. Not the bad news.
When speaking to sinners he never listed their sins. He never pointed fingers. He basically gave them a pep talk and told them to sin no more.
Ezekiel refers to Ezekiel being appointed watchman over Isreal. It doesn't apply to the average Christian admonishing his brother.

Why would you care about a flawed, man-made book, riddled with inconsistencies and contradictions? Even if you found this thing you are looking for....so what?

your not supposed to judge your brother for his wrong doings.
merely what it means is to give him the gospel, for it's our job to spread to news
