My fellow Israelites:
I wish to make a statement regarding the toppling of various individuals, in this case men, from their careers, under the allegation of sexual harassment. While I do not condone sexual harassment, it appears to me that we are entering a very dangerous stage in or legal jurisprudence. There are so many men in recent days who have been toppled from their Executive offices purely on an allegation of sexual misconduct. That’s all: no witnesses, no proofs, no court decisions, no investigations!
Does it not seem strange that society is not asking for justice to be done in a legal legitimate way, for a court of law to look into these allegations and adjudicate punishment or exonerate based on the evidence? It seems that all that is desired is that these individuals would lose their offices and their current paychecks. This in no way corrects the problem, in my view.
What I see on my radar is that this is a hostile lesbian and feminist takeover of masculinity in our society. The Last Frontier to be stripped of masculine headship will be the churches! What a day that will be when the sisters start coming forward and toppling the pastors with whom they have had sexual relations! That will truly pave the way for an all-out feminist takeover of the pulpits in our churches. This we know as a matter of fact, that the women of our Church are breaking down every barrier so that they can earn the title of Pastor, and they will use the secret weapon of sex, or sexual misconduct, to achieve their ambitions.
Further too, the Bible is clear that the last world government to rule the wold is in the likeness of a woman riding on a beast (Rev. 17). While this prophecy is symbolic, in that “the woman” represents a religious entity, and “the scarlet colored beast” a civil institution, it is equally true that this illustration is showing that the spirit of the woman will be controlling the world. It is also a sign as to where we are in the stream of prophetic time, and the consummation of the ages.
The overthrow of masculinity in society is a long-standing and calculated plot by the feminist and lesbian wings of our modern society, and they’re being very successful in their deployment and in their allegations. I must hasten to say, though, that not all the claimants of sexual misconduct are false, many of them are true, and many painful stories abound of women and girls who have been taken advantage of by men in positions of influence, and they accept it purely on the basis of trying to feed their families–they felt their paychecks were tied to granting sexual favors. This is wrong and has no place in our society.
I wish to state for the record, too, that it is not uncommon for women to make overt unwelcomed and inappropriate sexual advances on men. The story of Joseph in Egypt facing down Mrs. Potiphar, and finally running out of his clothes, in order to maintain fidelity to God’s Law, should be sufficient to enlighten any thinking person that women are just as capable of making unsolicited sexual advances on men as are men on women.
What I see here, though, is a group of primarily lesbians and radical feminists who are now teaching “morality” to an immoral society, and people are falling for this immoral method every day. If there are legitimate cases, and there are, then these ought to be tried in a court of law and adjudicated as such, rather than remaining exclusively in the court of public opinion. But when we have a woman making an allegation against a man and he falls without due process of law it wreaks with suspicion and the circumventing of justice, in my mind. This method of blame and shame, then removal from office can be just as abusive as are the true cases in which many women have been legitimately cornered and assaulted. I can only say this to you my friends that this type of reckless overthrow of masculinity in society is coming to a church near you! The days are here when pastors and conference presidents, and other church officials will be removed from office, simply on an allegation from a “Jennifer Flowers” here and an “Angela Rice” there, etc., all coming to the forefront to make an accusation, and the rest will be history, or as they say, “that’s all she wrote.”
I would appeal to the pastors who know that their hands are tarnished in this area of life to speedily make recommence with the victims as well as with our God. A moral wrong has been done and it must be corrected forthwith. Do not wait for the public mauling of your name, purely on the bases of a weakness you’ve had over time. Pray to God for healing and deliverance, and face your victims and ask their forgiveness, that your consciences can be clear before God and men, and your integrity maintained. Christianity is made up of people who are sinners. It is not a special group of people who were suddenly born upon this earth. Christians are sinners redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb, Jesus Christ, and as such, they walk around with a baggage of sins. The Bible is not silent on this face either, as it says:
“9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” 1 Cor. 6: 9-11
You see that there were many former fornicators, homosexuals, thieves, and drunkards, etc who composed the early church. Even so, there were cases wherein sexual misconduct was still being practiced in the church, after believers came to faith in Jesus Christ. Here is an example of one:
“1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife. 2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.” 1 Cor. 5: 1, 2.
I can assure you that this was not the first time in the history of the church wherein sexual impropriety has been practiced, and God has a way of dealing with this. First bring the guilty ones before the leadership church in counsel to determine the truthfulness and extent of the fault, and develop a plan of restoration that will be equally beneficial to the victim as well as the offender, but most of all pleasing to a just and Holy God.
It is at such a time as this, the very days in which we now live, that the Bible rings most true with its timely messages of marital fidelity and moral rectitude:
“I made a covenant with my eyes, how then should I look lustfully at a young woman?” Job 31: 1.
This covenant must be made not only with our eyes, but with our hands and feet, as well, and most importantly with our minds–our heart.
A few months ago, I was at work, in the cafeteria and thought I’d take a snap of the News Casters in their round table discussion on Fox News. I want you to take a good look at the only man in the room, and contrast his attire with the women. Then zoom in on the woman in white (second from the left). Where is the standard for modesty, anymore? Men are typically dressed up to the point of hiding even their “Adam’s apple,” while women stand before and are next to naked! Is this a double standard, a trend setter, or both?
The next time you go to church, do for yourself this simple test: observe the women who are on the pulpit, how they are attired, then contrast their manner of dressing with the men on the pulpit, and maybe you will begin to notice that this is the new normal—the brothers dress up to the “hairs of their chinny-chin-chins,” while the sisters dress down to barely being covered in their underwear! Oh what a distraction and distasteful sight on Sabbath mornings! Most men and women too, with pure eyes, cannot look up to the pulpits when the sisters are on display, because their eyes behold undergarments that ought not to be on display in any public setting, let alone in the “holy” Sanctuary!
“15Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.” 1 John 2: 15-17.
Without diminishing the valid claims of all the truthful cases that abound, I sense that the feminist activist girls will have the pulpits at every cost, up to and including giving sex and later crying foul: This is coming to a church near you! Be on the lookout for it. In the case of Joseph, it cause him many years in prison:
“7 ¶ And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me. 8 But he refused, and said unto his master’s wife, Behold, my master wotteth [knows] not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand; 9 There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? 10 And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her. 11 And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within. 12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out…
“19 And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled. 20 And Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king’s prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.” Gen. 39: 7-20 [Added].
Jesus said:
“2For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. 3Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.” Luke 12: 2, 3.
“ 17For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. 18Take heed therefore how ye hear…” Luke 8: 17, 18.
Are we there yet? I think so.
My gut tells me that most of these allegations were of a consensual nature, but the girls are now taking advantage of a public attitude, and even events of 40 and more years ago are now looked upon with disdain, even though there is every indication, from my research, that this was nothing but pleasure-seeking and popularity gaining on both their parts. For the woman, it is a bragging point that she has slept with “a really powerful man” in society, and for the man, he was able take pleasure in his score points of another woman in bed. Most men who are not converted to Christ, are simply using women as scoring points to number how many different girls they’ve sported with in their lives. Much like wine tasting; and the same is true in the reverse.
How ironic, though, that our secular and morally degenerate society is now shaming men for their “immorality!” Stay tuned… Pussy Riot Is Coming to an Adventist Church near you!
Shalom in Messiah,
