The Bible records the factual and outrageous tale of a woman, Mrs. Potiphar, and her attempt to derail the promotion of an exemplary man of character. He was a handsome and most trusted official with important duties providentially being prepared for greater responsibilities as a statesman serving the entire nation.
This married and manipulative woman hatched a scheme to falsely accuse this man of serious sexual misconduct. She stirred up grave trouble for Joseph by boldly and emotionally lying that he had attempted to rape her. Her wickedness cost him his reputation, position and landed him in jail.
Thank God, in that episode things worked out for the good after the accused endured lengthy unjust suffering and disgrace, but this is not always the case. In the current situation involving Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, multitudes like the president and I want to be respectful to his accuser, affording her the opportunity to speak. But by way of reminder, we must do so with a biblical worldview upholding our time-honored system of American justice and due process of law.
Jesus said, “Do not judge according to appearance, but practice righteous judgment” (John 7:24). This is consistent with instruction from the Old Testament and was foundational in establishing legal procedures in America to adjudicate controversies between citizens.
In Deuteronomy 16:18–19a, God said, “You must appoint judges … and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment. You must not pervert judgment or show partiality.”
Scripture also directs, “At the testimony of two witnesses or at the testimony of three witnesses shall the matter be established” (Deut.19:15b). The New Testament reiterates this, “In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established” (2 Cor.13:1b).

My preacher made the comparison to Joseph this morning. There’s nothing new under the sun.

Thou shalt not bear false witness against the neighbor.
And Joseph became 2nd in command to Pharoah. Check out this tweet:

“If Kavanaugh is not confirmed, Trump should make him Attorney General and unleash him on the Swamp.”
Who Agrees?
Pray for Christine Ford that she gives her heart to the Lord and repent of personal and associations of evil schemes.
You can draw many more dimensional parallels to this story. So much so I would almost hesitate to use it politically. Slavery, immigration, ironically even The Federal Reserve, etc. See what I mean? Low hanging fruit. Tempting but risky. Do we really want to see this beautiful Bible Story to be used in THIS disgusting episode?
...and remember, this story ends with our guy in prison for a few years.
I was just talking about Joseph to my daughter this morning and said that Judge Cavenaugh had good reason to study Genesis and the whole female screaming sexual abuse...Folks, this is an age old sin! LYING when things don’t go your way....May God intervene and prove Judge Cavenaugh innocent and truth about ms. Ford come out.
I think Attorney Generals also have to be confirmed by the senate.
Addendum:
Dutch Sheets wrote a summary of his experience while he was on-site praying over the hearings 2 weeks ago.
“Regarding the recent allegations against Judge Kavanaugh, no compassionate person would ever belittle the pain and trauma of a person who has suffered a sexual assault. But whatever occurred to his accuser, I don’t believe it was perpetuated by Judge Kavanaugh. I believe he is an honorable man and a competent judge. More importantly, I am 1000% certain that neither guilt nor innocence can ever be proven in this case. I am also certain that, in such a situation, it is completely inappropriate for a person’s reputation, family, and career to be destroyed. This unacceptable treatment of him contradicts every tenet of law and justice America was built on. And the manner in which this accusation has been handled by the left makes clear that their actions are nothing but a Democrat smear campaign. Please pray against these attacks and for evil to be exposed; pray also for Judge Kavanaugh’s family and for his confirmation. The vote for whether or not to confirm him will probably take place the middle of this week.
Also, ask God to give us the breakthrough in the Supreme Court we have been requesting for decades—a majority of Justices who are Constitutionalists, literalists (meaning they believe the Constitution is to be taken literally, exactly as it is written) and who are pro-life. Let’s also boldly ask Him for another vacancy on the Court soon—I feel strongly in my spirit another is coming quickly. We should be offensive in our prayers, not just defensive and reactionary.”
It just strikes me that tools that have so many uses generally don’t work very well.
Oh yeah...
Darn.
Oh, man! That would be thermonuclear!
I have been praying for that.
I actually feel sorry for her.
She’s a mess and is being exploited as a tool, being used by the left to further their agenda, with NO concern for her at all as a person.
She’s just a useful idiot to them.
There goes Coney doing again what everyone told us the FBI never does,comes to conclusions,just like Hillary will not be prosecuted,she didn’t mean to do it
