JEWS ATTACKED IN AMSTERDAM!! Last night in Amsterdam, Israelis were attacked by mobs of Arabs after Israel's Maccabi Tel Aviv played in a soccer match. The attack appeared to be organized and planned. It comes two days before the anniversary of Kristallnacht, when Nazis launched a pogrom against Jews in Germany in 1938. 10 Israelis were injured. Some were unaccounted for for hours. They took refuge in shops, and some hid in hotels. Hey, #amsterdam, really? The Times of Israel reported, "Dutch security forces appeared helpless to protect the tourists as they were ambushed by gangs of masked assailants who shouted pro-Palestiniian slogans as they hunted, beat and harassed the Israelis."

Watch this clip by a fellow named Joseph Z (Joseph Z). He says that the Lord showed him that people who seek to hold leaders accountable for sexual sin will eventually become holocaust deniers, antisemites, and Israel haters. To be clear, he did not say that this was his opinion but that God Almighty showed him this. I have a few thoughts. 1. The Bible says that we, the Church, are supposed to judge prophecy. “Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:20-21). “Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge” (1 Corinthians 14:29). When someone gives a prophecy on the Internet, how does the church judge it? Paul imagined that New Testament prophecy would be primarily inside the local congregation. And that the other prophets would judge it. When he says, “Let the others,” it could mean the others gathered or the other prophets. But the Internet is the wild, wild West of prophecy and sometimes that can be dangerous. This prophecy needs to be judged by a collective group of leaders because it is deeply alarming. I would give you my opinion, which is probably obvious, but it doesn't say let one person judge it, it says, “let the others.” Hopefully, that will happen. 2. He says that because Jesus is the head of the Church, he is the only one who can judge people in the Church. That is not biblical ecclesiology (study of the church). Paul tells the Corinthian church to pronounce judgment on a sexually immoral man who was sleeping with his stepmother. In fact, Paul is angry that the Corinthians have not already done this. Here are Paul’s instructions: “So when you are assembled and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present, hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord” (1 Cor 5:4-5). Furthermore, Paul tells Timothy that he handed over Hymenaeus and Alexander, who were apparently false teachers, “to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme” (1 Tim 1:20). Paul did not wait for Jesus to judge them, but he did as an apostolic leader. And that was the loving thing to do ... see next point. 3. Joseph Z doesn't seem to understand that holding people accountable for gross sin or false teaching is redemptive. Paul's hope for the sexually immoral man is that he will eventually repent, “that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord.” If the Church does not judge sexual sin, we are not loving the sinner. Joseph says that it is Jesus's job alone to deal with people involved in immortality. But in truth, it would be far better to fall into the hands of local eldership, or someone on the Internet, than the hands of the living God. The compassionate thing is to judge someone here, so they can deal with it before they get judged there! That is God's grace. 4. If the Church does not judge sexual sin or false teaching/prophecy, then the perpetrator will bring his sin into the Church, affecting others. Paul writes in the same passage to the Corinthians, “Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?” (v. 6) Tolerating sexual immorality in the Church will increase sexual immorality in the church. 5. There is a difference between hypocritical judging of one's motives, which Jesus forbids in Matthew 7, and the Church taking its place to judge those who claim to be part of the body of Messiah. Paul says it is absolutely the church’s responsibility to judge those inside. “Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? God judges those outside" (1 Cor 5:12–13). 1 Tim 5:17-20 teaches that this is done through eldership, but it is an expression of the entire church. Sadly, eldership often does not want to follow through on its God-given responsibility. The Firefly report reveals that the leadership at IHOPKC was not keen on enforcing standards on its leader. This did nothing to help the prayer movement or the local congregation there. Their unwillingness to enforce 1 Timothy 3 standards has dealt a crushing blow to the body of Messiah (which God can overcome!). In times past, when these things were swept under the rug, there was nothing else a victim or an advocate could do. Social Media has leveled the playing field—and that is terrifying to many celebrity ministers (and I'm sure many men and women have integrity who embrace it). It's messy. It's not perfect. However, it is a response to the lack of leadership in many local congregations. 6. However, to say that “the Lord showed me … it will eventually lead to the greatest deception towards Holocaust deniers. … [I]t’s going to turn into the greatest form of antisemitism, anti-Israel, anti-Holocaust…” is quite strange for me to hear, in particular, because I do consider myself an advocate for those whose have been sexually abused by members of clergy, and because I am Jewish, Israeli, and have my master's degree in Israel advocacy. Is my activism going to turn me into an antisemite? Will the words of this Israeli, Zionist, Israel supporter lead others to hate and attack Israel? That does seem like what my brother is saying. I don't think the church needs to take a stand on every prophecy that comes out of the Internet, but it certainly does need to judge what I would consider prophetic gaslighting, which tells people who are taking a stand for victims of sexual abuse that they actions are leading towards to the greatest form of antisemitism that the world has ever known. I would love to have a conversation with Joseph. I don't know him. He can contact me. But since his video is traveling around the Internet, addressing it publicly is warranted.

Here is what Mercy Culture Church showed, followed by the full clip. It is pretty gross that Heather Schott revictimized (or tried to) #SarahMonk by deceptively slicing a clip from a larger conversation to make it appear that I had an "agenda" to convince her that she was a victim of sexual abuse. And Mike Brown, sits there complicit, even though he knows that I had never spoken to Sarah until October 2024 after she had already given her complete testimony to The Roys Report. She had already told them about the kissing, the hand holding, the butt slapping and the late night meetings. She knew the relationship was romantic and sensual, and that Mike was escalating the physical contact. It is true that most victims of clergy sexual abuse do not realize that they have been victimized and manipulated for quite some time. #TammyWoods, God bless her, realized 40 years later. #DeborahPerkins realized two decades later. If Heather Schott wants to know what happened in my conversation with Sarah, she can give me a call. She can even interview me. But to deceptively copy/paste and harm a survivor is abusive. The reason I contacted Sarah (whom I did not know before) was because Mike resisted efforts to have the situation adjudicated by elders (until his board forced him to agree). He now claims that he told his board to bring on the investigation, he's an open book…but if you look at his emails to me ( you will see that he had no intention of allowing anyone to investigate these claims. Heather and her cohorts present themselves as understanding sexual abuse, but they failed to articulate something that even a novice in this area understands: Victims often blame themselves. Sarah was ashamed that she put herself in a position for Mike to abuse her. The fact that they twisted it only shows that they have an agenda—and it is not to stand with victims of clergy sexual abuse (which is a real thing, Heather), but to stand with the powerful against them.
