Love the Victim Punish the Perp

Is anyone else weary of mean people getting away with their meanness?

They do whatever they want and others remain silent so as not to enrage the mean person, but in the process the victim is without comfort.

In fact the victim is told by the perp and everyone around them that they are unloving if they don't forgive.

So, the power is given to the perp while love is withheld from the victim.

This is not Biblical, perps should experience disapproval and consequences for their hateful actions while the victim is comforted. Forgiveness is for those who are sorry, extending it to those who have been empowered to act in hateful ways by pressure on the victim is sinful.

The perps these days expect to be forgiven even if they enjoyed what they did and are not sorry. This comes from a perverted culture that demeans and mocks those who are harmed while coddling the evil person.

The devil loves this perverse version of love in the church, it lets the evil man off the hook while beating up on the righteous.

Isaiah 26:10-11 " 10Though the wicked is shown favor, He does not learn righteousness; He deals unjustly in the land of uprightness, And does not perceive the majesty of the LORD. 11O LORD, Your hand is lifted up yet they do not see it. They see Your zeal for the people and are put to shame; Indeed, fire will devour Your enemies.…"

Not only are we preaching a gospel of works in the gatherings, we are preaching a false gospel of forgiveness without repentance, by the foolish thinking that someone will be forgiven by God if they refuse to repent.

Acts 3:19
"19 Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;"

God does not wipe away the sins of the unrepentant and neither should we, it elevates the evil one and devalues the victims.

Evil is growing in our country and our churches because it is no longer dealt with!!! It is no longer dealt with because of the mentality that we should not judge anyone's actions. Clearly this is unBiblical. Many Scriptures speak of having discernment about matters, there can be no discernment without judgment. We are told to expose the false teacher, the sinning brother and any false doctrine that enters the church gatherings. It's all in the word all over the place, just go and read it.

Stop listening to people who spout psychological jargon to control others. Listen only to the Word of God, it won't be easy for people pleasers because it will mean swimming up stream against the tide of public opinion. Truth and resolve in Christ is not for wimps.

Paul the apostle knew all about it!
2 Timothy 3:11-13 "…11 my persecutions, and the sufferings that came upon me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. What persecutions I endured! Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. 12 Indeed, all who desire to live godly lives in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13 while evil men and imposters go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.…"
