Betrays

The one who betrays..
John 21:20

Japan is very big on loyalty. To a fault, I believe. Clearly loyalty is a good thing, but it does depend what or who you are loyal to. To betray Jesus, the Son of God, God Himself, is a terrible thing, & Judas paid a terrible price, though I believe Christ could have forgiven him if Judas hadn't given in to despair.
But Mafia & Yakusa have loyalty codes too. Is it truly a bad thing to warn the police if your friends are planning a murder? Grass is not a good word in slang English, and few respect a police informer. But sometimes their help is absolutely vital, & can save lives. Whistle blowers reveal corruption, and mostly deserve respect.

Witnesses

 Witnesses of these things..  Acts 5:32 Leftists are funny people. They trust bent lawyers & porn stars if they talk smack about people they hate, but they don’t trust saints, apostles & Holy Mother Church when it tells them about Jesus, the Best Man of All. Seriously, 😳 how bad a judge of character is your average Dem voter?  But it’s not just left wingers. Why would you trust someone on the internet or on TV, or who writes for a newspaper or magazine, or someone you happen to have a blood relationship with, or someone you went to school with, more than God’s Holy Words in the Bible?
