About Sexual Abuse and the Cover Up in the “Church”

There is a feeling of mourning in my heart this morning.  It is for all the children and women and men who have been sexually abused.

I am especially grieved if this happened in a family setting or a church setting.

I am outraged if this happened and the congregation or denomination, Catholic or Southern Baptist, or any other “Christian” group tried to cover it up instead of expose it to the light of truth.

I pray that God will heal, comfort and strengthen them to push toward justice.

I hope and pray the perpetrators will be exposed, ashamed and repent to push for judgment and justice.

May God have mercy on those who sincerely confess and repent and zealously get busy doing the right thing before God and man.

God has judgment in death for those who did these things and do not repent, tell the truth and pay the debt they owe.

The so called “Church Leaders” who break God’s commands to protect the abused and who keep teaching this way will be dealt with by the true Christians and/or the law courts and/or God Himself in death and judgment.

Reconciliation with a person who sexually abused a person is not to be done in a secret meeting with one so called, “church leader.”  It is to be done with proper legal authorities whom God has appointed.  With proper evidence collected rather than hidden by a so called “church leader”.

To properly love all people including enemies is to stand and tell the truth and be protected while doing so in order that others may be protected.

Yes, forgiveness is our calling, but not without standing up for the truth and protecting others.

Yes, God is the ultimate judge.

We are not to forget that God has appointed the authorities.  The police.  The sheriff.  The attorney. The Judge.   These are appointed to carry out justice rather than vigilante justice or the perpetrator’s suicide.

We must encourage the sexually abused to go to the authorities and stand with them and help pay the money for the stand for justice with our own money and time.  This is what it means to stand for justice and righteousness.

We should mourn and be alarmed at the destruction of the good name of the true church which has been teaching Jesus truth for 2,000 years.  We must change and move to honesty and strength.

We should call out the false, weak, cover up lying men who are destroying the good will of people who truly are seeking help from God’s true people.

We must alert men and women and children to not accept sexual abuse and rape as acceptable and to be covered up by so called “church leaders”. 

We must watch out for false prophets and fake priests and phony preachers, seminary professors and arrogant bishops, cardinals and popes.

You will know a tree by its fruits.

Not all people who claim to be sheep who are following Jesus.   Some are wolves in sheep’s clothing.  Some wear three-piece suits and robes and funny hats who should be wearing sackcloth and ashes.
