Humanity needs the truth. Humanity needs to remove wickedness from the heart. Slavery does exist in this world. According to the International Labour Organization there are 20.9 million victims to human trafficking globally. It is a $150 billion dollar industry. One human trafficker admits to killing 400 girls! reference
Today, we do not have slavery based on skin tone, except in areas where extremist religious or political values are at play. We do not have the burden of culture distortions and abuse, except where history continues to be erased. Today, we DO have slavery based on bondage. Bondage to sin is what leads to these evils in humanity. Bondage to sin is what lead to evils of slavery based on skin tone or culture in the historical past (much evidence of infidelity problems and more among slave owners).
Consider these verses when discerning light from darkness:
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.2 Corinthians 6:14-18
How can we stop these evil men and women? (yes, even women are used as tokens in the industry particularly if they cater to sexual impurity promotions)
1. Stop educators who are teaching absurd abnormal sexuality topics to children. Remove children from their schools. Even abortion topics lead to easy victims as a woman is taught to de-value her God given possibility of becoming a mother. Teaching "the talk."
2. Teach your children how to "yell and tell." https://nogreaterjoy.org/downloads/coloring-pages/
3. Explain that sexuality and relationships are not just a toy. There are rules even among poly groups. There are rules in how to handle maternity care issues.
4. Teach children how to monitor their own character and character of others. Domestic violence has similar manipulative behaviors to human trafficking. The bible shares much wisdom on this.
5. Teach and share gospel as well as what God's laws say about people who rape, murder and enslave others. Don't be ashamed of gospel truth. (stories about Dinah is in the bible as well as stories about Tamar.....)
6. Do be aware there there are false Christian abuse websites and people who want to divide the people from the true gospel. They hate the reality that fathers in the home who are gospel focused (not necessarily church attendees but may be) and repented, protect children from many more abuses than two women could ever accomplish in their entire life. [topic flaky false Christian abuse]. When a godly father is in the home, children are less likely to have many different diseases and crime problems. Godly men, protect children from wicked men.

Turn to "Holy Bible" first....and the answer will come for how to properly reveal the truth (people of minority are likely to be victims of false accuser woman for example.....Joseph and potiphar wife story).....
Furthermore, if a woman is in a predominately "male" classroom or workplace, it would be foolish for her to accuse every single man of misconduct if she happened to get a few glances or chit-chat about this and that here and there.....
She herself is held accountable for HER actions if she purposefully CHOOSE to be in a certain position.

Before betrothal or courtship
********NOTE******** there are a lot of *questions* to ask about a future spouse potential. Many people *give up* and just marry the first person who comes into the picture, because questioning can be such a long process. The worldly spouses look so much more *handsome* they say. But in reality, values are thrown away when this happens. A Godly handsome man is better than a Worldly handsome man. However, it does not have to be a long process! Simply take each *Step* listed below one week or so at a time. Also make sure YOU have the same or better character conditions than your future spouse! *You reap what you sow*
Possible resources to help gain better understanding: CLP - Wholesome living, Created to Need a Helpmeet, Preparing to Be a Helpmeet
*The process of finding a spouse can start young! Soon after the age of flowering or development physically! It is normal for a spouse to marry at age 16! It is also normal for a couple to marry at the age of 25 and above! At age 25 years old the brain is fully developed so decisions can be made more effectively. At age 30 years old spiritual development has taken shape, so decisions about what occurs spiritually (what is right or wrong according to bible) can be made more effectively. Those under age 25 need assistance to help make correct decisions about relationships by elders. Those under age 30 need assistance to help make proper moral decisions (hence college students are not good, unless they become as a Jeremiah, and often filled with folly when making proper spiritual decisions, even those in theology education environments cannot properly make spiritual decisions unless they are fully repented)
*First Step: Character* This takes time to check character in a person and should be done before the beginning of any relationship.
1. How does he/she react with negative feed back about something he/she has done?
-An unfit spouse will not accept negative feedback.
2. What happens when you have needs?
-An unfit spouse does not care about the other person's needs and desires
3. What happens when what you like is different from what he/she likes?
-An unfit spouse has to have what he/she likes.
4. How does he/she communicate what they are thinking?
-A joker, a mocker, a scorner, guilting, pitty tactics, pride, mind-reading, negative things about loved ones, negative things about other cultures/tribal ways of life, critical spirit, blame, no understanding, clothing and hair styles control, political gain, liar, out-of the way to say he will never do xyz.....
5. What are his/her behaviours like?
- Chronically late, control time and get jealous when you are with others, constant job changing (and he/she is at fault), how he treats his family members and people in public (violent to others in street protests? the waitress, the plumber), honest about past, good steward of money, time, gifts etc., motivated to do what is right, respect your boundaries, anger spirit,
6. How does he/she resolve conflict?
-Say sorry, make excuses, take responsiblity to fix, graceful, closure and well-being
Summary:
1. Do you feel you need to "complete" or "fix him/her"?
2. What are his/her friends like?
3. Do you feel that you are desparate for a relationship with spouse or are you confident in Christ as single person?
There are patterns and behaviors in a controlling and manipulative person. Look for these signs. If these signs are found in yourself, pray and ask God to help you get rid of them.
*Second Step: Faith and Bondage Check*
1. What type of faith does he/she have? Is it the same, similar or completely different from your own faith? From the faith of your family? Have there been severe human rights problems from those in that faith group? Have people in that faith group been victimized? Do people in that faith group deny genocide or major human catastrophe occurrences? Are they non-religious or grow up in non-religious environment?
2. Ask these questions: Before You Meet Him
*Third Step: Maternity/"choose life"/child raising/End of Life Check*
1. Does he/she want to "be fruitful and multiply"? Does he/she fear things in regards to maternity issues? Is he/she reliant on Holy Spirit and biblical things if he/she came from an unbalanced home?
2. Does he/she desire to love spouse even if a pregnancy fails? Does he/she desire to love spouse even if childbirth occurs outside of a hospital setting (refugees, the poor, tribal groups etc. encounter this quite often) Does he/she desire to raise children through adoption or participation in orphanage if infertility occurs? Does he/she allow natural methods of child-spacing or no attempt to space without use of pharmacy drugs?
3. Does he/she desire to educate children in the bible? Does he/she desire to educate children freely in multiple areas without using a public system except in times of need? Does he/she desire to -be there- for the children or is career more important? Does he/she desire to raise children naturally if possible and willing to raise children in a frugal/non-consumerist/unspoiled way? Does he/she allow understanding and visiting of other cultures for the children to understand the world?
4. Would the spouse be willing to take care of you from home in old age? Would the spouse be willing to support home-remedy instead of heavy medical industry dependency in times of old age? Would the spouse be willing to allow funeral to be -independent- from expensive -funeral home- services (Alternatives can include -no open casket-, build own tomb, build own casket etc).
*Fourth Step: What about polygyny?? Is marriage license necessary? Sexuality issues? Age gap?*
1. Does spouse understand biblical polygyny as it applies to bible? (some couples change their minds about relationships in the middle of the marriage!) http://www.christianpoly.org/ or http://www.libchrist.com/index.html Even some early Christians did practice polygyny and were persecuted for such. Much of the persecution was by institutional styles of Christian life. It is better to stay in a polygyny marriage than to break apart a home if the couple before coming to Christ started out as polygyny.
2. Does the spouse understand that -marriage license- -wedding rings- -white wedding dress- -special cakes- -special traditions- and so forth are all not necessary for biblical Christian marriage to sustain itself. Many traditions are marketed. Many traditions are passed on from pagan religions. It is better to have a SMALL marriage with a few friends and relatives in a basic setting, than to make an expensive one with much bitterness and burden.
3. Is there an age gap in the marriage? A man who is younger than the woman by about 10 years? Is the man over 10 years older than the woman? Are you ok with that?
*Fifth Step: Are YOU meeting biblical standards? Is possible future spouse meeting biblical standards?*
-proverbs 31....are you buying a piece of land?, are you****** from the ***** portion of the bible?
-Do they grasp the desire to fulfill the -Sermon on the Mount- Matt. 5-7? Are they ok when men revile him/her? Are they ok when they suffer for righteousness sake? So on and so forth? List all sorts of questions in relationship to the topics discussed in Sermon on the Mount and then check to see how they are in their behavior.
-http://www.jewfaq.org/613.htm (Note: no person is going to be 100% perfect until death, only Christ offers the ultimate perfect life). Go through each law and ask the questions. For example: Does he/she know God exists? Does he/she avoid putting God to the test? Does he/she honour the old and the wise? (even though it is not a Christian website, the understanding from Judaism HELPS Christians understand character of Christ and what is expected of a spouse) It can be interesting to -keep a record- of the person and of yourself to see how you are doing in regards to relationship with God. Some of the things are not necessary for Christians (like circumcision and explained in Galatians). Many of the things in the law are useful.
-Does future spouse have a lot of skills in many different areas? Search through the bible to find the different types of skills mentioned.
*Final Step: (Deep discussions of the previous questions may be asked in this stage) Betrothal shouldn't be too long.....*
-A courtship is different than a Betrothal. A courtship trys to "win" a woman's heart. A betrothal seeks for a man to be acceptable before God and a woman to be equally acceptable before God.
-A courtship may require some religious training from youth up.
-A betrothal starts with a man repenting and a woman repenting before the betrothal begins (see fifth step). They may come from any background or environment. Any heritage can practice betrothal after it is understood how to repent before Heavenly Father. You may explain this to any man who wants to see if this is the marriage God wants them to have (For example, you meet someone on a dating site, but you want to "see" if God wants this marriage, then meet each other in public places and settings first such as church groups or community events.)
-The first step in betrothal is a "vision" for a marriage to possibly occur. The MAN is the one who gets the vision. The woman may have had the "vision" many years or so prior, but really the betrothal doesn't begin until the MAN gets the vision. The woman must not wear -lust driven- clothing. The man must not be -looking lustfully- at other women.
-The MAN reports the vision or calling about a possible marriage to an elder of a church group or to the woman's parents or to whomever is "head" of the woman before a betrothal.
-The woman PRAYS about this vision and sees if God answers prayer for YES, to continue the Betrothal or NO to stop the betrothal, but can still maintain brotherly love towards the man without dating violence. She reports a clean answer YES or NO to the elder or head of the woman before betrothal begins.
-If there is a YES, betrothal begins. The couple meets without much physical affection PDA (only hand shake, side hug and so forth, once a week to once a month or so). The couple prays for each other and prays for God's will to be done. Entertainment is not "worldly" or of dating fashion, but in meeting with family and close friends.
-The LORD will build "love" between the couple, so there is no need to -entertain the flesh-. Marriage arrangements take place. Breaking a betrothal could be damaging to the spirit like divorce as "love" feelings have been deepening.
-About 3 months to 6 months later the marriage takes place. Marriage does not need to be *fancy.* PDA doesn't need to take place except when the couple arrive home or go on a sort of honeymoon if they wish to do so.
-Church groups who practice *Betrothal* do not need to eliminate those who *failed* and ended up marrying the wrong spouse, ended up doing some things before marriage that shouldn't be done or failed in other areas biblically, rather just pick up the broken pieces and seek restoration through God's word.
I hope these things explain how to apply God's word to marriage, BEFORE the marriage occurs! Even before a Betrothal or Courtship occurs! Dating is a deception and should really only be done by married couples. These things are for safety spiritually and physically on this earth. Furthermore, there have been cases where a man divorced his first wife and remarried another, then the man repented. The first marriage was restored due to faithfulness in God's word and application of CHARACTER!

4. Would the spouse be willing to take care of you from home in old age? Would the spouse be willing to support home-remedy instead of heavy medical industry dependency in times of old age? Would the spouse be willing to allow funeral to be -independent- from expensive -funeral home- services (Alternatives can include -no open casket-, build own tomb, build own casket etc).
*Fourth Step: What about polygyny?? Is marriage license necessary? Sexuality issues? Age gap?*
1. Does spouse understand biblical polygyny as it applies to bible? (some couples change their minds about relationships in the middle of the marriage!) http://www.christianpoly.org/ or http://www.libchrist.com/index.html Even some early Christians did practice polygyny and were persecuted for such. Much of the persecution was by institutional styles of Christian life. It is better to stay in a polygyny marriage than to break apart a home if the couple before coming to Christ started out as polygyny.
2. Does the spouse understand that -marriage license- -wedding rings- -white wedding dress- -special cakes- -special traditions- and so forth are all not necessary for biblical Christian marriage to sustain itself. Many traditions are marketed. Many traditions are passed on from pagan religions. It is better to have a SMALL marriage with a few friends and relatives in a basic setting, than to make an expensive one with much bitterness and burden.
3. Is there an age gap in the marriage? A man who is younger than the woman by about 10 years? Is the man over 10 years older than the woman? Are you ok with that?
*Fifth Step: Are YOU meeting biblical standards? Is possible future spouse meeting biblical standards?*
-proverbs 31....are you buying a piece of land?, are you****** from the ***** portion of the bible?
-Do they grasp the desire to fulfill the -Sermon on the Mount- Matt. 5-7? Are they ok when men revile him/her? Are they ok when they suffer for righteousness sake? So on and so forth? List all sorts of questions in relationship to the topics discussed in Sermon on the Mount and then check to see how they are in their behavior.
-http://www.jewfaq.org/613.htm (Note: no person is going to be 100% perfect until death, only Christ offers the ultimate perfect life). Go through each law and ask the questions. For example: Does he/she know God exists? Does he/she avoid putting God to the test? Does he/she honour the old and the wise? (even though it is not a Christian website, the understanding from Judaism HELPS Christians understand character of Christ and what is expected of a spouse) It can be interesting to -keep a record- of the person and of yourself to see how you are doing in regards to relationship with God. Some of the things are not necessary for Christians (like circumcision and explained in Galatians). Many of the things in the law are useful.
-Does future spouse have a lot of skills in many different areas? Search through the bible to find the different types of skills mentioned.
*Final Step: (Deep discussions of the previous questions may be asked in this stage) Betrothal shouldn't be too long.....*
-A courtship is different than a Betrothal. A courtship trys to "win" a woman's heart. A betrothal seeks for a man to be acceptable before God and a woman to be equally acceptable before God.
-A courtship may require some religious training from youth up.
-A betrothal starts with a man repenting and a woman repenting before the betrothal begins (see fifth step). They may come from any background or environment. Any heritage can practice betrothal after it is understood how to repent before Heavenly Father. You may explain this to any man who wants to see if this is the marriage God wants them to have (For example, you meet someone on a dating site, but you want to "see" if God wants this marriage, then meet each other in public places and settings first such as church groups or community events.)
-The first step in betrothal is a "vision" for a marriage to possibly occur. The MAN is the one who gets the vision. The woman may have had the "vision" many years or so prior, but really the betrothal doesn't begin until the MAN gets the vision. The woman must not wear -lust driven- clothing. The man must not be -looking lustfully- at other women.
-The MAN reports the vision or calling about a possible marriage to an elder of a church group or to the woman's parents or to whomever is "head" of the woman before a betrothal.
-The woman PRAYS about this vision and sees if God answers prayer for YES, to continue the Betrothal or NO to stop the betrothal, but can still maintain brotherly love towards the man without dating violence. She reports a clean answer YES or NO to the elder or head of the woman before betrothal begins.
-If there is a YES, betrothal begins. The couple meets without much physical affection PDA (only hand shake, side hug and so forth, once a week to once a month or so). The couple prays for each other and prays for God's will to be done. Entertainment is not "worldly" or of dating fashion, but in meeting with family and close friends.
-The LORD will build "love" between the couple, so there is no need to -entertain the flesh-. Marriage arrangements take place. Breaking a betrothal could be damaging to the spirit like divorce as "love" feelings have been deepening.
-About 3 months to 6 months later the marriage takes place. Marriage does not need to be *fancy.* PDA doesn't need to take place except when the couple arrive home or go on a sort of honeymoon if they wish to do so.
-Church groups who practice *Betrothal* do not need to eliminate those who *failed* and ended up marrying the wrong spouse, ended up doing some things before marriage that shouldn't be done or failed in other areas biblically, rather just pick up the broken pieces and seek restoration through God's word.
I hope these things explain how to apply God's word to marriage, BEFORE the marriage occurs! Even before a Betrothal or Courtship occurs! Dating is a deception and should really only be done by married couples. These things are for safety spiritually and physically on this earth. Furthermore, there have been cases where a man divorced his first wife and remarried another, then the man repented. The first marriage was restored due to faithfulness in God's word and application of CHARACTER!

How to check for a True or False "spiritual abuse" reporting website
The website under consideration could be more politically left leaning (catering heavily to destroy patriarchy and family/culture heritage) or it could be more politically right leaning (catering heavily to ignore the reality that Jesus loved sinners).
First of all, become familiar with proper definitions.
The definition for scorner is not going to change in the bible. The definition for angry is not going to change in the bible. There are other words that will not change in the bible. A KJV Holy Bible works fine or use the original manuscripts. Know these words. Know the definition of other words too. Joy, kindness and so forth.
Know the definition for "Defamation of Character" http://www.alllaw.com/articles/nolo/civil-litigation/defamation-character-lawsuit-proving-harm.html
The more you know yourself about what happens when a person is "falsely accused" or someone has been "bearing false witness," the stronger ground you will be able to stand upon.
Also, know the basic "biblical law." The more you know out of the bible from the first five books of the bible, the more likely you will be able to spot the "false accuser." The other books of the bible revolve around the first five books of the bible. Even the creation account.
If the website offers an email, send them an email anonymously as something hidden like wobblyrabbits@ymail.com or JimCupcake@ymail.com. Make a statement in the email something like this:
**************
Dear [name of website owner]:
You are exposed for creating false abuse charges against humanity. You pick sides you like and violently dismantle the side you don't like. You are a false abuse reporting website.
[link to explain issues at hand]
Every time you post something on your website, I am reporting you to the public as being FALSE in your accusations. It is criminal behavior to defame someone's character, particularly the character of God.
[bible verse to explain proper methods of judgment]
[A vocabulary definition about the topic such as bearing false witness etc]
**************************************
If they respond in a nice appropriate tone of voice and a letter explaining they are SORRY for committing the crime of "bearing false witness," then they are more than likely aware of their error before God.
You may consider their resources later. The resource may be used especially if they allow people to comment in their website and the comments are not deleted.
If they respond with saying things like, "Oh really, I'm going to start a war with you. Let me get the gun." Then they are more than likely a false abuse reporting website!
If they delete your comments when you comment against what they have to say, then the resource is a questionable resource.
After they comment or reply to your anonymous email in an absurd and "wicked" manner, do not consider their resource as useful in the near future. Consult the bible. Consult wisdom resources.
In reality, it is as simple as that. We are all facing the SAME enemy and the false abuse reporting website doesn't see it that way. They see their castle as "theirs" and not something that is to be used as a source to spread TRUTH about humanity.
You may scroll through the other "posts" in my blog under the title -FlakeyFalseChristianAbuse- and find some of the websites that are basically, flakey and false.

Are the Duggars true Conservative Christians?
Now, here is the deal. If they were asked to suffer for righteousness sake, would they do it?
Would they be willing to go to the Black Lives Matter conference and learn about how police force are going against -God's laws- and being rigorous towards minority communities. Lev 25:43
Answer: No. Probably not. It would damage their image on screen.
If they knew a friend who wore a headscarf was getting raped daily by someone, would they do something to stand up for her ability to speak for her self.
Answer: No. Probably not. They want to wear modest clothes, because it represents something pure, but they don't want to listen to those who are forced by religion to do so in other countries, so compromising and getting attention are on their mind.
I don't believe the Duggar family had the problems they had in their family because of the conservative biblical beliefs that they liked to follow. I believe they had the problems in their family because they were ignoring the rest of scripture and its meaning. They continued to put their self on a pedestal even though they were in error.
In some ways, a true conservative Christian will appear more -libertarian-. They would be willing to fast several meals in order to help veterans build a home. They would go and listen to the concerns in minority communities and learn from the different cultures about lifestyles that worked for them in a godly way.
1Co_10:32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
Many minority Jews live among us. Some are believers in messiah and some are not. It matters not. We are not to give offence if someone doesn't believe. EVEN if they are in severe bondage.
I have not seen a lot of understanding about JEWISH life from the Duggar family. It is more of a show to gain ideas about -forms- of conservative biblical lifestyles. They have worked with Ray Comfort, who happens to be Jewish, but there are more people out there with a voice too, and they may be ignoring the BIG-PICTURE, due to the reality that being "on screen" causes much pride and arrogance if done even after issues are revealed. In other words, I don't feel *COMPLETE LOVE TOWARDS GOD* coming from their direction.
There are many different types of conservative biblical belief. Some men have conservative biblical belief that were sitting in prison for 30+ years. Some men have conservative biblical belief while they are sitting in the middle of Muslim Extreme environments and about to die for their faith. Some men are highly educated and have conservative biblical belief (Robby Zacharias for example). Some men have conservative biblical belief from the time they were persecuted in Europe and passed down from generation to generation (Foxes Book of Martyrs). Some men have Messianic types of conservative biblical belief.
I support the Duggar family for "choosing life" and being a part of pro-life ministry. In my opinion, "choose life" groups and political goals are the SAME as "Black Lives Matter" political goals. BOTH want GOD's Laws to be observed more diligently by WE THE PEOPLE. However, in both cases there are -extremes- who are radical and violent towards those who do not believe in their goals. Hence the scripture needs to be studied more efficiently. The purpose of following God is to "do no violence" ---> "Luk_3:14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages."
I would say the style of Duggar Family is Conservative Political Christian. The goals for their family are more political in nature than biblical willingness to suffer for righteousness. Its not bad to support the NRA (Jesus said it was necessary to buy a Sword). Its also not bad to support those in minority communities.

How to support biblical Patriarchy without Misogyny
Many people fear biblical patriarchy. They fear it because it shows that humanity does indeed need to submit to a -creator-. A redeemer.
1. Focus on character. Before marriage. https://emotionalabusesurvivor.com/deal-breakers-advice-to-unmarried-women-and-daughters/. This website has some advice on how to check character, but that doesn't guarantee the woman understand's forgiveness aspect which must ALWAYS happen for a relationship to function. It is simply a way to check before things get harder. (I don't agree with everything in the website, but I do agree to check character)
2. Learn how to practice forgiveness. Created To Be His Helpmeet . Note: some people who read this book do practice polygyny, so if you are afraid of that option in -Patriarchy- you may want to research -biblical polygny- because sometimes it does happen even in godly families. It is also OK to practice Sabbath day things, unlike the book indicates.
3. Stand your ground. Know more things about nature, history, culture and so forth that build upon good foundation. If you have minority status, know who you are as a person.
4. Know that the principle of Christianity is that Christ loved the church, so husband gave himself for his wife. Pray those character traits into your husband.
5. It is ok TO forgive. Perhaps there was something wrong with your relationship with your spouse. You do not have to break apart a home just because other women "couldn't put up with" the issues you have had to deal with as a woman. No person is 100% perfect until they return to the Savior.
6. Meditate on psalms and proverbs. Knowing the scripture gives you strength.
7. Continue to wear modest dresses, be a homemaker, practice kindness instead of nagging and so forth.
8. Bravely practice wearing modest clothing. Don't masculinize yourself, but do wear godly feminine appearal. If possible, it is ok to wear a head scarf.
9. Study God's laws. The more you know out of the first five books of the bible and the culture practice behind it, the more likely you will see why patriarchy was used as a means of redemption from scripture. Patriarchy is not the redemption, but it is a means.
10. Eliminate the desire to scorn women who were in a bad relationship or simply gave up on "godly patriarchy" marriages. Doing so, makes other women think that patriarchy is bad news for women, when it actually is a blessing. Be aware that there are FALSE abuse websites out there......run by women: False abuse from Feminists
11. Study on how to become a godly homemaker. The more you know and desire to learn, the more likely you will be successful. http://www.womensetapart.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Secrets-of-Fascinating-womanhood.pdf or another resource: http://www.aboverubies.org/
12. Study Tribal wisdom and take care of those in need, without payment of money.
13. Learn survival skills and ways to manage life in difficult times. Perhaps ways you may save money by living with others for a time. (We are actually not meant to live alone as a couple)

Old Testament and NT explanation: Prophecy
(Christians may do these things in a "spiritual" sense and changing the approach to dealing with justice, but reality is that these laws are for the land of Israel and the times before Christ explained proper Justice and Mercy.) CHRISTIAN DO meditate on these verses, OLD and NEW. Gain better ground at the righteousness in Judgement of the Lord.
Prophecy
- To heed the call of every prophet in each generation, provided that he neither adds to, nor takes away from the Torah (Deut. 18:15) (affirmative).
- Not to prophesy falsely (Deut. 18:20) (CCN175).
- Not to refrain from putting a false prophet to death nor to be in fear of him (Deut. 18:22) (negative).
From: www.jewfaq.org
Deu 18:15 The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
Deu 18:20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
Deu 18:22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
(Rev 2:20) Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
(Rev 16:13) And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
(Heb 1:1) God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
(2Pe 2:1) But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
(Mat 1:22) Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
(Mat 11:9) But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.

Why are Christians not to be "left wing" extremists?
Both "wings" can be extremist, left and right wing. The Left assumes God's laws have perished and are too ancient for today(or biblical values didn't exist) so they value anything that is opposed to biblical values. (I addressed right wing extremist beliefs in this article) The Right assumes man on his own terms can create a utopia the way their version of God exists.
There are oppressive people in this world. They exist. They may be insane, or they may be right in their ways of thinking. We cannot tell what the creator's plan is for our life.
The bible is written in such a way to HELP humanity overcome its pain and misfortune. The bible laws do not and will not disappear.
Israel was ALREADY an indigenous people. They have unique culture, language and skills. They didn't learn how to write "on their own," it was only by inspiration. Particularly after the man Moses gave Israel the Law. Evidence is there of Israel crossing the red-sea, when the proper texts are used. Some texts are used to "hide" the truth about the bible. Summarized studies are presented here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDVzvD2qoUQ&t=401s
The laws of God are there to protect people from their "sin." To be a "school master" to bring us to Christ.
If a person says they are "good" but they are catering to extreme things outside of God's laws and ways, they are in error.
Catering to man's pride. Error. Catering to man's scorn. Error. Catering to man's wacky sexuality choices. Error. Catering to laziness. Error. So on and so forth.
Pick up reading, memorizing and making a habit of reading Psalm 119.
Psa 119:9-16 BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. (10) With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. (11) Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. (12) Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes. (13) With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth. (14) I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches. (15) I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways. (16) I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.
Joh_6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

In those words penned by David, sin is seen as a thing that is done against the HOLY GOD. LOVING GOD. ALMIGHTY GOD. The same God that destroyed pharaoh's army without Israel lifting a finger. A person does NOT want to forget GOD and his goodness.
There are many -right wing- Christians who do not KNOW exactly what the bible says and why the bible says what it says. But some do not feel the "need" to go to higher education beyond the age of 5th grade essentially. Why? Because God is so good, he CAN be trusted, no matter what.
There is no need to fight evil with evil.
Be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. (Gain wisdom in this world, but maintain humility and innocence through JESUS blood and resurrection glory)
You can still do the things you love to do, before gospel. Running, hiking, fishing, camping, building, gardening, dancing. Its just that there are things you should not do which will cause problems for you and others in your "tribe" because God is the one who knows it will cause damage.
In fact, if a person caters so much to "left wing" extreme beliefs, they may have issues with rebellion. Rebellion can lead to major issues like spreading of STD's. Bearing false witness against people. Legal inappropriate behavior (letting a family of many children go without income) while a person of perverted lifestyle gains all money and more. It could lead to murder of innocent disabled people. It could even lead to suicide and early death. It could lead to practices of euthanasia. It could lead to misleading the people to trust terrorists.
The bible exposes and Christians HAVE the heart to practice brotherly and sisterly love, so there is no need to cater to something that is created to be a phony -institutionalized movement- by right-wing extremists, just because they practice this and that. The bible already indicates certain -neutral- religious practices are practiced by people who followed Jesus. Fasting, modest headscarf dress, regular prayer and bible study and more. Some Christians have even gone so far as to celebrate a love from a polygyny perspective, without going against the grains and fibers of the bible. Link Others simply trust the bible enough to avoid certificates and institutional life altogether. Gaining certificates "like they do" will do nothing to stop institutional things from happening. In fact, it will increase the threat of -institutionalization- of humanity to the point where no man can make decisions for himself. Everything must be done under one rule and order of a tyrant.
From time to time there are "left wing" extreme Christians. They believe in "worldly righteousness" and cater to false accusation against PATRIARCHY. Which the bible is a book of .....well, patriarchy. Nature itself has PATRIARCHY. So the methods of going against nature itself and calling oneself a Christian for doing so, are in error. JESUS himself wants us to forgive. Even the women caught in ADULTERY was told to "sin no more".....hence she needed to forgive, which would result in her being obedient to God's laws, rather than disobedient. Yet even MATRIARCHY is also allowed in a godly light rather than a lust-full light, in the penning of scripture. Furthermore, many institutionalized versions of Christianity have often catered to -left wing- extreme beliefs, due to the reality that the people in the religious positions actually harbored much sin and hypocrisy. Sometimes this led to persecution of the actual church body of Christians (Truth for Free).
If you have not repented of your sin, and turned away from false god's and idols of this world, you can learn how to do so by 1. reading the bible 2. studying the way to repent through others who have gone before. article 3. If you are new to the bible Good vs. Evil 4. Further resources: Here
Joh_6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
In summary, the reason you should not be a part of "left wing" extreme beliefs, groups or practices, is because they do not operate in the light of truth, victory over sin and in the world of unconditional love for humanity.

Why are Christians not to be "right wing" extremist?
Both "wings" can be extremist, left and right wing. The Left assumes God's laws have perished and are too ancient for today(or biblical values didn't exist) so they value anything that is opposed to biblical values. (I am not going to address that issue in this article it is addressed here) The Right assumes man on his own terms can create a utopia the way their version of God exists.
This is part of the explanation: http://raggedycottagegarden.blogspot.com/2017/08/where-do-supremacists-come-from.html
Now there are different things in the cultures that appear "unchristian" to the "Roman world" but in reality it works for the culture and it even works with the bible. Out ward appearance does not = inward character.
Right Wing extremist want to bring back old ways of doing things that were evil to humanity. The Nazi's looked up to 200 years back into human history and birth certificates to determine if a person was "white" or not. That means about 7-10 Generations. Look up the information.
Doing so (extreme heritage checking, will never bring "good" to this world. It will always create more evils.)
Do research and discover that not all people spoke "Latin languages."
Jesus had a detailed genelogical history. That is who he was. That is ALL humanity needs. A record of HIM.
Study other types of astronomy given to the different cultures. Indigenous astronomy has similarities to western astronomy, without internet access in the ancient days. Jewish people are "indigenous" to Israel and the middle east. The evidence is there of them living in Egypt and the time of burying their children because of Pharoah's extreme plans and goals (to commit acts of genocide against a group of people by nationality/heritage).
It IS ok to be conservative biblically. Jesus said it was -OK- to buy a sword by selling a purse. However he did mention......blessed are the peacemakers.......so the sword users were wrong in their beliefs if they used it inapropriately.......and they still are (terrorism and genocide promoters).
How can you or a friend keep a person away from right-wing extreme belief? Show unconditional love. Give the person wisdom about your heritage or family member's heritage. Study the story of the bible. Do not bother to "show up" at events, educational venues or other things that will not address these issues in wisdom and truth.
Some parents or grandparents may disown you or not react to you the same way as before, if you do not follow "right wing extremist" beliefs. Jesus said he is with us always, even to the end of the age.
Joh_6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
In summary, they are a group of people who live by the sword and die by the sword. They are not a group of people that follow JEsus and him alone.

Landed Poem
continue to this day
the soul comes from somewhere
goin somewhere
things are hidden from him
hear me this day
when he had spoken
sailing in the dangerous
unknown seas
Polynesian or Sidon one or the other
South wind blows
No loss of life
Be good of good cheer
cast upon an island
fallen upon the rocks
anchors hold
taried, continued, fasting
having nothing
here we are
a land of opportunity
falling into place
prisoners or purpose
one or the other
some on boards
some on pieces
they escaped
all safe
all landed

Where do supremacists come from?
Note: This could apply to any nationality.
*Elitist control
-Historically, perhaps based on ancient events, perhaps based on events soon after Christ death and resurrection (Constantine, Nero, Herrod etc)
-Recent history (within the last 200 years up to the last century)
-Current media and propaganda
*No knowledge and wisdom
*No bible based character evaluation and prayer practice
*Far-left lies, anger and unforgiveness promotion, and anti-christ propogandas
*Pride and Mocking
*Love of Money
*Not born again, no repentance
*Cold heart and Betrayal of people close to a person
*Mental incapacity. Drug, alcohol, addiction influence. Uncontrollable anger and wickedness in heart. Pornography usage.
When people do not have control in the first stages of supremacy they could go into further damage against tribes, nations and cultures. It could lead to *terror and death and it could also lead to *extreme religions (demonic conditions where innocent people suffer).
John 3:16
What is solution?
Prayer. Share gospel. Love your enemies and follow Christ's words in RED.
Learn that the operation of offence, stay ahead of its course and follow unconditional love:Bait of Satan

Summer-Fall Feast -Planetary Alignment, Qumran Calendar Events
This information is up to YOU as the reader to decide the TRUTHS. Using the Qumran calendar to coordinate with astronomy MAY possibly vary from person to person, but still allows for similar understanding to that of the modern day Jewish Calendar. Often times there is a TWO week delay in time between Qumran Calculations and modern day Jewish calendar calculations. Reason: The first day in the month of ABIB in the Qumran calendar is a full moon in the first cycle while the modern day Jewish calendar uses the sighting of the sliver of the moon.
A key thing to know and remember: 9th of Ab is a little over 58 days from the Day of Atonement (60 Days) on any calendar. Jews continue to this day to remember (Tisha B'Av). Exactly 58 days before Feast of Atonement, according to the Qumran Calendar this year, is the Solar Eclipse that darkens the moon from the 6th hour to the 9th hour (noon to 3:00 pm similar to event when Christ was on cross: Luk_23:44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.).
The top picture shows the event in AD 31 where Christ could have been on the cross and suffered for sins using Qumran Calendar calculations as the sun could have been darkened from the 6th hour to the 9th hour for more information click (When Did Jesus Rise from the Grave) or (First Fruits today vs. AD 31)
The bottom image are the events that will be unfolding in the heavens as we enter the fall feasts. Notice how the planets highlighted as well as the sun and moon represent the -seven golden candlesticks on menorah-
For more information about this topic try studying the Qumran Calendar: (Conversion of Qumran Calendar to Metonic Cycles)
Or for more detailed understanding try studying the calendar according to biblical events and the Qumran Calendar in depth: (Biblical Heavenly Signs)
For a detailed article about WHY astronomy matters when it comes to Christian faith....... read this article and MEDITATE on the design of the tabernacle as described in the LAW. Tabernacle is Designed with Astronomy in Mind

Are Liberal Christians more spiritually abusive?
The answer may surprise you or it may not surprise you. A Liberal Christian is one who denies that the scripture is reliable for many things in life and may or may not choose to live against what it commands and requires for followers. Such things like 'no foul language' 'no alcohol' 'no sexual impurity' etc are not always practiced by Liberal Christian circles. Divorce for light reasons or unusual marriages may be practiced among Liberal Christian circles. They may like 'love your neighbor' but dislike 'pray for your enemies'.... Some Liberal Christians may work to "keep" conservative Christian churches going, but are still in the process of developing as a Christian. Their influence in "church fights" is very apparent as they know not the truth, but rely on self.
The answer to this blog post is ONLY found THROUGH the bible. Even early philosophers used biblical literature to come up with their far-fetch intellectual ideas and conclusions.
Modern day psychology and sociology textbooks are filled with fictitious scientific studies. The studies were never done to prove anything necessary or useful in psychology as far as finding the answer to why people behave as they do. The tests were a ploy to make college students think they are "smart." For example: http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-echochambers-28315137 and https://thoughtcatalog.com/lorenzo-jensen-iii/2015/05/13-reasons-why-the-myers-briggs-test-is-absolute-nonsense/
In other words, the students were "tested," but they never understand the "angry man" the "lazy man" or the "wicked man"......because they are not allowed to reference a bible to understand psychology problems in man. Seriously, if a person went to college, they should use a concordance to look up the word "wicked" "lazy/sluggard" and "angry." A person will understand much more psychology through the bible definitions than through the modern-man texts.
So when it comes to spiritual abuse, one would have to define it appropriately. What is it? It would have to come from some source. Perhaps that source is "lies" that people tell you or another person or a family member or anything else for that matter. Jesus himself was "spiritually abused" which led to his death on the cross. Psalm 22 describes every detail many years before he was put on the cross. Jesus KNEW who his accusers were (Pharisees, scribes, elders, religious rulers etc.... he lists them himself Matt 16 lists them). How could he have known who they were before getting nailed to the cross? A possible explanation is in the Psalms. Psalm 22 lists abuses he suffered.
Psalm 22.....
(Psa 22:1) To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
(Psa 22:2) O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
(Psa 22:3) But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
(Psa 22:4) Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
(Psa 22:5) They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
(Psa 22:6) But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
(Psa 22:7) All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
(Psa 22:8) He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
(Psa 22:9) But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.
(Psa 22:10) I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.
(Psa 22:11) Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
(Psa 22:12) Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
(Psa 22:13) They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
(Psa 22:14) I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
(Psa 22:15) My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
(Psa 22:16) For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
(Psa 22:17) I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
(Psa 22:18) They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
(Psa 22:19) But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
(Psa 22:20) Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
(Psa 22:21) Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
(Psa 22:22) I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
(Psa 22:23) Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
(Psa 22:24) For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
(Psa 22:25) My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
(Psa 22:26) The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
(Psa 22:27) All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
(Psa 22:28) For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations.
(Psa 22:29) All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.
(Psa 22:30) A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
(Psa 22:31) They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
Listed abuses:
1. No one there to help him
2. No one heard his cries.
3. The people once trusted God and then they didn't.
4. The people despised him
5. They laughed at him.
6. They scorned him
7. He was reproached of men.
8. They shook their heads at him.
9. The shot out their lips at him.
10. They mocked his ability to follow the Lord.
11. They encompassed him..... while accusing him.
12. They gaped upon him with their mouth.
13. Assembly of wicked men enclosed him.
14. They pierced his hands and feet...
15. They look and stare upon him.
16. They cast lots on his vesture....
There is no indication of what 'political group' is more vicious towards people and likely to commit the above listed abuse, however, when a person studies the 'gossip' trends in liberal circles, one will find much of the abuse continued against the bad guy and against the victim. Gossipy, mocking types of comments are left behind, while the victim is left with more scars than they already had to deal with. Such mocking is often not seen as a good sign in godly conservative Christian circles. They laugh at victims who choose to forgive, which make matters harder in their life. The liberal Christian may not be there to help a conservative believer who wants to study bible more diligently...... no one there to help in study and fellowship.
However, note that both liberal and conservative beliefs DO recognize abuse trends equally. Scars, angry words, victimizing a victim and so forth. It is just that the liberal trend is to 'give up' rather than to take on the pain and overcome by forgiveness with strength found only in scripture.
Mocking a person, even the abuser, is a sign of not comprehending the power of the gospel to change lives, and to eliminate the result of there being victims. Be aware of one cannot overcome evil with evil.
One of the more prominent liberal siding Christian abuse sites which actually only enhances abuse problems is: http://raggedycottagegarden.blogspot.com/2016/07/new-topic-title-flakey-false-christian.html

So when it comes to spiritual abuse, one would have to define it appropriately. What is it? It would have to come from some source. Perhaps that source is "lies" that people tell you or another person or a family member or anything else for that matter. Jesus himself was "spiritually abused" which led to his death on the cross. Psalm 22 describes every detail many years before he was put on the cross. Jesus KNEW who his accusers were (Pharisees, scribes, elders, religious rulers etc.... he lists them himself Matt 16 lists them). How could he have known who they were before getting nailed to the cross? A possible explanation is in the Psalms. Psalm 22 lists abuses he suffered.
Psalm 22.....
(Psa 22:1) To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
(Psa 22:2) O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
(Psa 22:3) But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
(Psa 22:4) Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
(Psa 22:5) They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
(Psa 22:6) But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
(Psa 22:7) All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
(Psa 22:8) He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
(Psa 22:9) But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.
(Psa 22:10) I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.
(Psa 22:11) Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
(Psa 22:12) Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
(Psa 22:13) They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
(Psa 22:14) I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
(Psa 22:15) My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
(Psa 22:16) For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
(Psa 22:17) I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
(Psa 22:18) They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
(Psa 22:19) But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
(Psa 22:20) Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
(Psa 22:21) Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
(Psa 22:22) I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
(Psa 22:23) Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
(Psa 22:24) For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
(Psa 22:25) My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
(Psa 22:26) The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
(Psa 22:27) All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
(Psa 22:28) For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations.
(Psa 22:29) All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.
(Psa 22:30) A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
(Psa 22:31) They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
Listed abuses:
1. No one there to help him
2. No one heard his cries.
3. The people once trusted God and then they didn't.
4. The people despised him
5. They laughed at him.
6. They scorned him
7. He was reproached of men.
8. They shook their heads at him.
9. The shot out their lips at him.
10. They mocked his ability to follow the Lord.
11. They encompassed him..... while accusing him.
12. They gaped upon him with their mouth.
13. Assembly of wicked men enclosed him.
14. They pierced his hands and feet...
15. They look and stare upon him.
16. They cast lots on his vesture....
There is no indication of what 'political group' is more vicious towards people and likely to commit the above listed abuse, however, when a person studies the 'gossip' trends in liberal circles, one will find much of the abuse continued against the bad guy and against the victim. Gossipy, mocking types of comments are left behind, while the victim is left with more scars than they already had to deal with. Such mocking is often not seen as a good sign in godly conservative Christian circles. They laugh at victims who choose to forgive, which make matters harder in their life. The liberal Christian may not be there to help a conservative believer who wants to study bible more diligently...... no one there to help in study and fellowship.
However, note that both liberal and conservative beliefs DO recognize abuse trends equally. Scars, angry words, victimizing a victim and so forth. It is just that the liberal trend is to 'give up' rather than to take on the pain and overcome by forgiveness with strength found only in scripture.
Mocking a person, even the abuser, is a sign of not comprehending the power of the gospel to change lives, and to eliminate the result of there being victims. Be aware of one cannot overcome evil with evil.
One of the more prominent liberal siding Christian abuse sites which actually only enhances abuse problems is: http://raggedycottagegarden.blogspot.com/2016/07/new-topic-title-flakey-false-christian.html
Law and NT Explanation - Criminal Laws
