What is our stance seeing someone being victim of injustice?

  • “Jehovah, who shall dwell in Your tabernacle? Who shall dwell on Your holy hill? He who walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart; he does not backbite with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbor, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor;” (Psalms 15.1-3).
  • “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” (Exo 20:16).

Certainly we can’t stand seeing someone being bilked, ashamed, spurned, etc. On the one hand, we can’t veer from helping people that are flabbergasted and quelled by hot potatoes:

  • “Cursed is he who does the work of Jehovah deceitfully, and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.” (Jeremiah 48:10).
  • “Open your mouth for the dumb, for the cause of all the sons of those passing away. Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.” (Proverbs 31.8,9).

On the other hand, we ought to love the enemies and don’t hear about evilness:

  • “But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who despitefully use you and persecute you, so that you may become sons of your Father in Heaven. For He makes His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.” (Matthew 5.44,45).
  • “He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly; he who despises the gain of oppressions, who shakes his hands free from holding bribes, who stops his ear from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from seeing evil; he shall dwell on high; his refuge shall be the strongholds of rocks; bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.” (Isa 33:15,16)

Notwithstanding, the enemies of the Creator shouldn’t be helped:

  • “And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him. And he said to King Jehoshaphat, Should you help the ungodly and love those who hate Jehovah? And by this bring wrath on you from before Jehovah.” (2Chr 19.2).

Besides, we need to analyze the following verses:

  • “And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie, so that all those who do not believe the truth, but delight in unrighteousness, might be condemned.” (2Th 2.11,12);
  • “For God gave into their hearts to do His mind, and to act with one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast until the Words of God will be fulfilled.” (Rev 17.17).

As it can be seen, in these cases, the own Eternal is strengthening the malign. That is to say, try to expostulate against it is to struggle against the Creator.

In the end, if we don’t help who are being victimized, we are harming the innocent. Nonetheless, if we make harm to the fiend, we are belaboring someone for whom Jesus died.

How to conciliate all of this? Tomorrow we will see this (if Jesus reveals).
