Biblical Ways to Handle Sexual allegations. Part [9] 05/03/2026 {Morning thought}

1st Timothy 3:11 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. 12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

[1] Why did the Bible study have to take place in your private hotel room at 3:00 am in the wee hours of the morning? And [2] What was the topic about? Again, if brother so and so is texting sister so and so all hours of the night, and into the wee hours of the morning, that is a sure sign to flee. You do not need Mom or Dad, or Elders or artificial intelligence to tell you do so, because, if you play with fire, you will get burned.

Joseph refused: If brother so and so, is texting sister so and so all hours of the night, and is sending her lewd images, and pictures of himself, don’t pray and ask God what to do. You already know what to do. Cut off all interactions and conversations with such a person, and if he or she persists, then go ahead and report him or her to the relevant authorities. If you do not, then you will not have taken a proactive measure to stop things before they happened.

This leads us to the third, and a critically important point, because there are times when, after all you have done to avert trouble, he or she may go a step further and try to use force to cause you to buckle. [3] Whenever sexual misconduct includes the use of force, try your best to adopt the Joseph mode, and run for your life, if you can… Genesis 39:11 And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.

Genesis 39:12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and  fled, and got him out.

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

Biblical Ways to Handle Sexual allegations. Part [8] 05/03/2026 {Evening thought}

Philippians 2:14 Do all things without murmurings and disputing: 15 That you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom you shine as lights in the world.

Thus, rather than have unfounded rumors swirling around in the New York Times, Joseph would carry himself with dignity and reserve, so as not to give the appearance of any approval to Mrs. Potiphar’s advances. And therefore, if The Lord did not specifically send persons to a time and place, that could turn out to be satan’s enchanted ground, try to avoid going in the first place. Prevention is better than cure.

Thus, rather than tempt the devil to tempt you, persons are to use common sense and not place themselves in harms way, if it can be avoided. For example, if brother so and so was to invite sister so and so up to his hotel room to do, let’s say, Bible study in the wee hours of the morning, even though we are not to judge anybody the very appearance of it does not make for a good look, nor would it smell right.  Such a sight will certainly cause questions to start swirling around.

No one should suspect that foul play took place, but just the sight of sister so and so, coming out of the hotel room of brother so and so, at 3 am in the wee hours of the morning, would give the appearance of evil, even if they were indeed studying the Bible. We do not know. And worse yet, if the wife of brother so and so just happened to pass by when sister so and so was now leaving the room at 3:00 am in the morning the wife of brother so and so would obviously have two valid questions to ask.

1st Corinthians 13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil.

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