Frequently Quoted Bible Verses. A number of the allegations of abuse in BJU circles are very serious with significant evidence, so some of us have been trying to address them in various ways. In response, some people who don’t understand the reality of the situation have been telling sexual abuse victims and survivors and the ones who care about them that they shouldn’t speak out about the abuses, the alleged shaming and blaming of victims/survivors, and the alleged protecting of perpetrators of the crimes. They’ve quoted or paraphrased Bible verses to tell us to be quiet.
Here are some of the Scriptures that have been used, with our answers to them, opening in a new tab. Let us know of others you think we should address.
Matthew 7:1. We shouldn’t judge.
Matthew 18. You should go to your brother in private before posting publicly like this.
Proverbs 18:13. “He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.”
