#MeToo Liars Were Smearing Men Like Judge Kavanaugh 3,000 Years Ago

By Rev. Dr. Jules Gomes, B.A., B.D., M.Th., Ph.D.

"Three words — it's all a woman needs to destroy a man. It's her nuclear weapon in the power struggle of the sexes. She utters three words and unleashes a megaton of moral radiation. Her primary target — the reputation of the man at ground zero — is obliterated. Her secondary target — his job, his family, his friends and his future are vaporized. The woman has created a radius of lethality detonated by just three words.

Bizarrely, you can compare this to God creating the world in the book of Genesis. Unlike the other gods of the ancient Near East who create by large-scale acts of violence and bloodshed, the God of the Bible creates by His Word. God creates ex nihilo — out of nothing. The woman does the reverse — she creates or destroys, not by violence or bloodshed, but by her word. He de-creation of the man and his world can be ex nihilo — out of nothing.

Three words: He raped me. He groped me. He assaulted me. The three words — the nuclear trident — spoken by the woman results in chaos..."

...wow.

If this is true, I guess I've done myself a little favor by only being sexually involved with, and marrying, one woman in my life. [...with all of this stuff happening, I feel like I just dodged a bullet ;).]

Joseph was smeared in this manner precisely because he wouldn't get sexually involved with a married woman.

This is true. But, let's not conflate the unfortunate situation of innocent Joseph with that of some of the men who are being bull's-eyed by women in the #MeToo campaign.

I think it's safe to say that there are some men in that number who have overstepped the boundaries of moral propriety---some way, way over---and there can be consequences for those oversteps, as there should be, biblically speaking.

It's only your word against the word of an accuser or three. And how do you prove that you didn't? If you can't prove your innocence your say so is worthless.

This was the argument used against victims for quite a while in Chile right? That they were doing calumny. But now some bishops are gone, resignations accepted.

...I actually see the contours of the #MeToo movement as an unforeseen permutation in our society that has probably come about as a form of comeuppance for men who've been dilly-dallying around for too long with a Hefnerian kind of double-sexual standard and a misdirected sense of privilege over women.

Sure, some otherwise innocent men may be getting caught in the cross-hairs of angry (maybe victimized?) women, but it's kind of a social Yin-Yang thing going on here because........well......women aren't REALLY powerless, or at least not any more than what we men have wanted to believe they are. :cool: And sometimes, even on a societal level, we eventually do reap what we sow.

All I know is that if someone wants to take you down, it's easy now. Some need to be taken down. Some are innocent and will be taken down nonetheless.

The total portion of all U.S. women that have been sexually assaulted may be higher than we've realized -- 14.8% raped.

That's millions.... Tens of millions.

That is absurd. It is the woman who is destroyed, first by being assaulted and then by coming forward.
Clarence Thomas is a supreme court judge....hardly call it ruined by anyone's estimation.

To tell you the truth, I haven't kept up much on this #MeToo stuff, except for the Weinstein and Hybels 'thangs' going on lately.

So, anyone have an example of ---- in these things?:


:cool:

Karadima was found guilty in a Vatican investigation in 2011 of abusing boys in Santiago in the 1970s and 1980s. Now 87 and living in a nursing home in Chile, he has always denied any wrongdoing.

It worries me, raising a son. How can I protect him from false accusations because a woman holds a grudge about something?
Read the proverbs, and you get a good answer to that, or several.

Doesn't apply to all of us, but the comeuppance will be applied anyhow.

Tired of the fact that every yin has it's yang. Wishing for a sane equilibrium doesn't mean it will ever happen.

It works both ways. Men and women have been doing this for thousands of years, but the article is shameful from a Christian standpoint. The author, Rev. Dr. Jules Gomes, assumes that the accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, is falsely stating the allegation against Kavanaugh when he has no proof. He also calls her a femme fatale, which is outrageous for someone who considers himself a man of God to call a teenage girl, as she was when the incident was alleged to have occurred.

His article is unworthy of Christianity.

It is entirely within his rights to assume that if he chooses. The burden of proof is not on him...
