Biblical Ways to Handle Sexual allegations. Part [13] 05/05/2026 {Morning thought}

Genesis 39:15 And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out.

[4] Whenever allegations of sexual misconduct are made, wait to hear both sides of the story, before jumping to conclusions. Be very careful with male or female biases, that may tug at one’s heartstrings in one direction or another…. Genesis 39:13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth, 14 That she called unto the men of her house, and spoke unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in a Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.

Genesis 39:19 And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke unto him, saying, after this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled….. There are always two sides to any story, and it’s very often the case that one will present their side with an air of self-justification. This isn’t always the case, but persons have to bear this fact in mind, when it comes to deciding, or figuring out what took place.

Apparently, Mr. Potiphar didn’t ask Joseph about his side of the story, and judgement was passed on the accused, without him having a fair shake. However, it seems as if, in his heart of hearts, Potiphar didn’t really believe his wife’s account, because if he was convinced, he would have had Joseph put to death. In our day, whenever either male or female might bring a railing accusation against another, those in authority should hear the case objectively, without bias, political curry favors, and without feeling any sort of pressure to rule in favor of one or the other without just cause.

Genesis 39:20 And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

Biblical Ways to Handle Sexual allegations. Part [12] 05/05/2026 {Evening thought}

Deuteronomy 22:25 But if a man finds a betrothed damsel in the field and the man forces her, and lies with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die.

Whatever you do, do not stay silent, nor should you hope that it is just an aberration that will somehow subside with the passage of time. Let the records show that you did make an effort to sound an alert, for that is what the word “Cried” means in the next passages…. Deuteronomy 22:25 But if a man finds a betrothed damsel in the field and the man forces her, and lies with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die.

Deuteronomy 22:26 But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man rises against his neighbor, and slays him, even so is this matter. 27 For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her…. In our day, there are times when the damsel, either {male or female} might “Cry” but there is none to listen, or the authorities might not take his, or her allegations seriously.

If this is the case, try taking the matter first to God, and then to other entities that may be more sympathetic to your complaint. There are newspapers that would be willing to take up the investigations, as was the case with the first Epstein investigations. But whatever you do, never remain silent, for if you do, your credibility may be called into question, regrettably. This leads us to the fourth issue of allegations, whether they be true or false.

Deuteronomy 22:24 Then you shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and you shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbor's wife: so, you shalt put away evil from among you.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
