Can you make your spouse sin? Or your kids or, really, anyone?
Maybe not make, but can you be responsible? Can you share in the blame?
They angered him at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses on their account, for they made his spirit bitter, and he spoke rashly with his lips – Psalm 106.32-33
Even Moses had his limit and they pushed him to it. The responsibility was his and the consequences were his, but it was a team thing.
It’s the wrong-doer’s fault but not all their fault. They can’t blame you but you’re not innocent, either. Just like you can inspire someone to do something noble, you also can provoke.
