One of my family members isn’t part of the faith. If I try to tell him a certain act is immoral he gets angry and tells me to stop judging him. I told him I will leave him alone but is that what I am supposed to do? Just let him keep on sinning. I think he knows the sins I speak of but he doesn’t follow the faith. If I stop telling him to not sin. Is his blood on my hands?
 
Agreed.

Some people can’t get hard heads from shopping on Sundays.
 
Correction must be done in the proper context for it to be effective.
 
Not your problem. Stay in your lane. When people see that you are happy, and content in your life they will want what you have and inquire themselves. Pray for them.
Don’t be like other who come banging on your door believing you have it ALL WRONG and they are going to make you see the light
The light has to shine for them first.

Oh, and btw, there is nothing sinful about shopping on Sundays. :roll_eyes: unless you are forcing a servant to do it. 😳
 
I think the key here is to continue removing the beam from our own eye so that we can increase in that capacity to effect proper correction.
 
Do you have authority over this person? If not, then, simply live as salt and light. Be an example of amazing love.
 
Then your place is simply to love him and to be so filled with love and joy that your brother WANTS to follow you to Christ.

You both are 16.

You seem to love nothing more than to antagonize each other into depression and other mental distress.

Back the heck off.

Both of you two.

Good grief…if my kids did half the nasty and rude stuff you say and do to each other they’d be in a tent in the backyard till they figured out how to live like civilized humans.

It’s your parent’s job to parent him. Not yours. Not so long ago you were upset because he was telling you that you had to live against your principles. Let him have his own.

You have some experience in communicating with him on the relevant matters. Do you judge continued communication will do more harm than good? [Eg. Permanently damage your relationship without assisting him to amend his ways]. If that’s the case, you ought to pull back. Don’t pursue acts which you judge will do more harm than good.

it might be worth asking a priest if your youth and relatively recently acquired fervor for your Faith might possibly be leading you to think of things a little more dramatically then they are actually warranted.
