What makes us more accountable to God? Can we get in more trouble than others? Should everyone teach? How should we judge?

Accountable for seeing Jesus' works.​
Matthew 11:23 "And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. 24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, in the day of judgement, than for thee."

Accountable for what we know.​
Luke 12:47-48 "And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more."

Accountable for teaching.​
James 3:1 "My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment." (NKJV)

Accountable for how we judge.​
Matthew 7:1 "Judge not that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgement you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you." (NKJV)
