Deuteronomy 19:15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.

The word snitch has gained a bad reputation because the accuser was once involved in a criminal enterprise. Going to the police is not the same thing as going to a priest. In this please understand our priest is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.

This one witness was he a friend? If so, why did he not help his friend who was caught up in a sin? If we try to help a friend in his struggle, have we taken the issue before our heavenly priest and sought His counsel in this matter? We are free to do so without fear of being called a snitch. Our Lord knows all there is about these matters, after all He is the one that bore those sins and took them to the Cross.

Galatians 6:2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

I ask myself if I am involved in my friends lives enough to do this or do I heed the warning to the point that I have become ineffective.

Galatians 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

I do believe we need to be careful and that is why I consider taking these things to the Lord first, so that I am not just one witness.
