Biblical Ways to Handle Sexual allegations. Part [11] 05/04/2026 {Morning thought}

James 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

There are a lot of sexual allegations swirling around nowadays, and it is quite possible that we are just looking at the tip of the iceberg, as it were. Where there is a known potential for sexual harassment or where assault has taken place, either by a male, or female, it is your positive duty to take the matter to the relevant authorities immediately. It is understandable that doing so can be traumatic and embarrassing to the victim.

However, it is best to never stay silent, for if you do, and twenty years later you bring an accusation of misconduct, it will be much more difficult to prove and substantiate. There are many tools by which the victim of sexual abuse could say something. You could, and should report the incident to the relevant authorities, as soon as you can, because time is of the essence in cases of abuse. You can also tell a trusted friend, or family members, you can make notes in your diary, documenting the where, the when, and the how.

You can have a forensic exam done by which DNA evidence can be gathered by a hospital, or other specialized clinics which will do such work. You can preserve any samples of the assault such as hair, or clothing, so that the allegation can be verified, just like how Mrs. Potiphar kept Joseph’s clothing as the evidence of her supposed allegations.

James 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. 16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.

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

Biblical Ways to Handle Sexual allegations. Part [10] 05/04/2026 {Evening thought}

James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

Joseph ran: If on your first date with some woman, or man, unwanted sexual advances are made, run as fast as you can, if you can, so that God will see that, at the very least, you tried your very best to avert potential trouble. But to stay there with him or her, crying stop, with a look of glee on your face, would only add fuel to the fire, and the aggressor, whether male, or female will interpret that as a sign to continue their advances.

Thus, they will most likely conclude, that if they were to push just a little harder, he or she will break you. God is a Spirit, and spiritual things will be spiritually discerned, and therefore, if Joseph, knowing that Mrs. Potiphar has a crush on him, were to go so far as to rent a hotel room and have Mrs. Potiphar over, just to hang out, the mere fact that both individuals used their freedom of choice to go there means that both of them are culpable to some degree.

And if either Joseph or Mrs. Potiphar afterward was to cry rape, both of them will be held to account, as far as God is concerned. Thus, the issue of personal responsibility now needs to be addressed from the Biblical perspective, because in our day, there is too often a dereliction of duty on the part of some folks.

James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

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