What is the true nature of sexual abuse?
Sexual abuse occurs when the perpetrator renders the victim unconscious and engages in sexual acts without consent.
What truly transpires is the desecration of the victim and the sacred temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
*"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?
You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies."
Since acts of sexual abuse and violence are assaults against the victim, God, and the Holy Spirit, such acts are heinous crimes against humanity and are damning and condemnable in the sight of divine justice.
Perpetrators who commit such heinous crimes, while incarcerated in sins of the flesh, are unable to experience genuine love, and their hearts, minds, and souls become defiled, impure, and unholy.
The impurity of the heart, steeped in sinful corruption, corrupts and imprisons the soul, obstructing virtue and goodness.
The abuser perceives the world through morally degraded eyes and lacks the clarity of heart and mind necessary for true understanding and compassion.
Anyone who colludes or is complicit in these grievous acts against victims, God, the Holy Spirit, and humanity, will also be damned.
What truly occurs in sexual abuse?
Heinous acts of damnation, desecration, harm, and a crime against humanity.
