I like the verse cited at the end however for sake of clarity I looked it up to make sure the context was expressed correctly (knowing you it probably was, but just in case…). I believe it could be taken to mean that it's ok to be blind because Yahweh's servants are supposed to be removed from evil (that is, I believe this verse could be cherry-picked to illustrate that incorrectly). When I read it in context it did indeed reflect the true meaning as you intended to portray. For posterity here is what convinced me:

“Hear, you deaf;
And look, you blind, that you may see.
Who is blind but My servant,
Or deaf as My messenger whom I send?
Who is blind as he who is perfect,
And blind as the Lord's servant?
Seeing many things, but you do not observe;
Opening the ears, but he does not hear.”
Isaiah 42:18-20

This is the state of Christianity today. So much is taken for granted as being acceptable yet so many are being conformed to the world in the spirit of compromise and justification. Where does one draw the line in the sand (dust)? When the corruption reaches every aspect of life how does one remove themselves from the overwhelming flood?

…and if He rescued Lot, a righteous man distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard) — if all this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.
2 Peter 2:7-9

I pray that Yahweh will grace His elect with the power to stand against the flood and to come out of Babylon. I pray He will give us wisdom to divide truth from error. I pray He allows us to remain steadfast in His Spirit, removed from temptation in our hearts, minds and souls, and helps us to shine brightly to the ends of the earth from now to the age of ages. Amen.
