"We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."
Elie Wiesel
Has anyone else noticed that the one who is protected and elevated in our culture is the one who acts wickedly?
The victim is often pressured to extend mercy to the evil man who refuses to repent. This is injustice at it's worst. If we feel we should forgive without repentance for yourself, then do whatever you want, but don't pressure anyone else to do something that God never commanded us to do.
We often place undo and unjust pressure on the victim while coddling and helping the perpetrators of evil. We can see this clearly in the way we are handling Islam. They bomb us, rape our women, destroy our buildings and we stretch out the hand of "reconciliation" to them as though they are the victims.
Islam is laughing, narcissists are empowered and growing worse because our culture does not require accountability and restitution. The evil person is feeling a sense of entitlement to their evil because few will confront them or punish them.
Proverbs 28:2 "By the transgression of a land many are its princes, But by a man of understanding and knowledge, so it endures."
There is little justice left in our land, foolishness abounds everywhere, increasingly worse every day. We can no longer expect justice, nor can we any longer hold to account the evil man.
Matthew 12:35-37 "…35"The good man brings out of his good treasure what is good; and the evil man brings out of his evil treasure what is evil. 36"But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment. 37"For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."
Whenever we coddle the evil man while negating and ignoring the victim, we will be held accountable before God for our injustice.
