Biblical Ways to Handle Sexual allegations. Part [5] 05/01/2026 {Morning thought}

Genesis 39:9 There is none greater in this house than I; neither has he kept back anything from me but you because you are his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?

To some biased minds it would seem more plausible that the immigrant would have committed this act, but to discount Mrs. Potiphar as being the instigator would be too farfetched, because someone of her stature will most likely not do such a thing. However, a person’s stature and political standing is not any guarantee that they would not do such and such, as the recent files have shown.

Both men and women of stature are fallen human beings, just like everyone else, and therefore, to write off one as not being capable of indulging sexual harassment is to presume. There is currently a slush fund in congress that has used taxpayer dollars to pay out millions in sexual misconduct and harassment cases, among other allegations. The names of the offenders are mostly kept secret, and it involves both men and women of some level of stature.

Reports are supposed to be made to the Office of Compliance, but according to the records, most of the victims and perpetrators often choose to remain anonymous. Thus, by a conservative guesstimate, there are probably many more skeletons to fall out from congress’ closet than many people realize.

Genesis 39:10 And it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph, day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by  her, or to be with her.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

Biblical Ways to Handle Sexual allegations. Part [4] 05/01/2026 {Evening thought}

Genesis 39::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…

Several issues that pertain to sexual allegations will be addressed, and as usual, God will call all men and women everywhere to repent, and turn away from sin. The first problem we will study is the issue of He said/ She said, where victims and perpetrators may square of in the context of allegation. [1] The issue of He said/ She said. In our day, mostly men have been found to be the perpetrators, but according to the Bible, women can also be instigators in fostering sexual misconduct.

It takes a mind that is free from bias, to think things through objectively, and therefore, whenever there are allegations of sexual misconduct swirling on the airwaves, be very slow to jump to conclusions. The problem with the issue of he said/ she said is that in very many cases, one’s word is pitted against another and folks often rush to judgement, without a knowledge of all the facts in the case.

Whenever a man, or a woman comes forth with any allegation of sexual harassment, it is prudent to wait to hear both sides of the story. In the case of Mrs. Potiphar, it would seem as if her allegation was valid, to persons who would be prone to give a woman of such standing, the benefit of the doubt. On the other hand, who would believe young Joseph, the newly minted slave, sold from a foreign country.

Genesis 39:2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
