Those Involved in Cover Up of Criminal Activity Are Guilty and Will Burn in Hell

No one should take vengeance outside of God-ordained channels of authority, but it is evil to turn a blind eye to a criminal act or say that a crime never brought to the proper authorities should just be ignored. Wicked churches might even try to say that letting actions like that go is the forgiveness that Jesus and the inspired men of the Bible taught. That is a great lie. Cover-up of crime is exceedingly wicked. There was a civil war in Israel appointed by God which caused mass death and damage over the tribe of Benjamin keeping its own members from the due punishment of a crime which they committed (the matter is recorded in Judges chapters 19 to 21).

It is also wrong to be a companion of someone who has committed a criminal act, especially one who has heinously victimized others, who is not contrite over what they did and done what they could to receive their punishment and take proper accountability in other ways. The one who acted criminally is denying and/or justifying what they’ve done. Otherwise, they would have turned themselves in to the police already and made every reasonable bit of restitution that they might be able to make in relation to what they did. Those who are complicit in sweeping the crime under the rug are accomplices in their deceit.

Proverbs 17:4: “A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.”

The tribe of Levi was chosen to minister in God’s worship and teach Israel on the basis that the Levites were the most forward of Israel’s twelve tribes to execute God-ordained justice and vengeance on the obstinate idolaters in their own families. Some turn a blind eye to crime because they like the perpetrator and are close to them on a human level. They also may not want to create a tumult and/or harm their relationship with others who are close to the perpetrator. However, God commanded bitter herbs to be eaten along with the Passover Lamb. In order to find His mercy through the blood of Christ, you must report the criminal activity and cut yourself off from the criminal and those who justify the criminal.

Even if the statute of limitations has expired for the particular crime, then the right thing to do is to warn others about the criminal and cut them out of your life in every way you can without forsaking your duties towards God in other ways. And if they are deceased already, at least acknowledge that they should have been punished on earth and are burning in hell now (and they surely are if they committed a crime which they never even took due accountability on earth for). Don’t let what happened remain swept under the rug and live in denial of it (the very thing which many actually mean when they talk about forgiveness).

Romans chapter 13 makes it clear that the State is a minister of God’s vengeance on criminals. The State must be cooperated with and helped so they will do their job well in this. You are surely God’s enemy if you do not agree with this nor if you obstruct such justice knowingly in any way. And this is all consistent with, and even obviously a necessary component of, the duty to love all people (as is evidenced by reading on through the end of Romans chapter 13).

Every criminal deed which goes unpunished enables others to act criminally.

Psalm 12:8: “The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.”

Ecclesiastes 8:11: “Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.”
