Are the dupes of a false prophet responsible for any sins they commit because they believed him? What about Moses' and Aaron's prayer in Numbers 16:22? God answered that prayer by sparing the nation, but killing all of #korah's political cabal *and their entire households*. The implication is that the more you know and the more authority or power you take on, the more God will hold you responsible, and your family and immediate associates will pay the price with you.
