There is an unreasonable scrutiny taking place over the great pond to the right. According to a published report, the Dutch Reformed Church of Moreleta Park has found itself in hot water with it's High Court.
The report maintains that Johan Strydom, a 31 year old gay music lecture, maintains he was fired due to his homosexuality. He is now suing the Church for over R 200 000 in damages. Apparently, the plaintiff maintains he began work in the Church as a lecture and was found to be talented and gifted when it came to his musical lecturing duties in the Church, which began in January 2005.
The plaintiff further maintains he never thought it was important or relevant to divulge his homosexual lifestyle to the church as it was a personal issue. This is inspite of him knowing very well his lifestyle was contradictory to the Word of God. Moreover, sometime in July 2005, the plaintiff was approached by his supervisor and questioned about his sexuality. The plaintiff was further advised he had to attend a meeting to discuss this accusation. The plaintiff advised his supervisor that he felt it was his personal issue and did not intend on participating in the meeting.
Apparently shortly thereafter, the plaintiff was advised by a coworker, who coincidentally happened to also be gay and thought her sexuality was also a personal issue that didn't need to be disclosed; and had to attend the same type of meeting of which she happened to not want attend either. She further advised the plaintiff that they would both be terminated for their failure to attend the meetings.
Ultimately the plaintiff attended the meeting, admitted his homosexuality and was offered counseling for his homosexual oppression. Of course he declined and was promptly un-renewed for his musical lecture ministry.
Far be it from me to worry about the affairs of other countries except for the unintended consequences of this Court even hearing this case let alone to rule on it.
The fact of the matter is, liberal theological thinkers that are trying to advance their homosexual agenda very much are waiting patiently for the outcome of the case. The very fact this case has legal standing is laughable to any clear thinking person.Churches are afforded the separation of Church and State and as such their theology is their best defense. The fact that the plaintiff chose not to disclose his homosexual lifestyle, which is in direct contradiction to the Word of God, on the basis it was his personal business is laughable at best. A church should have the fundamental right to hire in accordance with their theology. The fact that the court is hearing this case suggests the instability within the Dutch Court System in it's way of thinking.
The catch 22 at home is simple. If the plaintiff prevails against the church the consequences here at home are dangerous. All it takes is a liberal federal judge to research the case and apply it to his constructionalist thinking. In turn the judge will somehow make the argument in support of the homosexual agenda. In sum the ruling becomes a law without even legislative representation and the homosexual agenda gets another notch in Satan's belt.
The Word of God warns us in Joshua 24:23 "throw away the foreigns gods that are among you and yield your hearts to the Lord," What the Word of the Lord declares is to be sure to begin the reformation now in your hearts. A man's promise to serve God loses the moral hold of the conscience if he does not instantly put it to practice.
By embracing some foreign case the ungodly become inevitably increasingly ungodly making far more difficult for all of us to yield our hearts to the Lord.
Perhaps the plaintiff should take a course in theology prior to applying for his next career move and the Dutch Court should be his study partner.

AMERICAN BARBARISM (Part II)
ReplyDeleteIt seems that the news coming from the United States have only a criminal court.
Again on Saturday April 11 in Washington state, a man who upon learning that his wife was leaving for another man, killed her five children between 7 and 16 years and then committed suicide.
In addition, the crime occurred in New York, where a Vietnamese killed 12 people in a support center for immigrants and then committed suicide.
It is clear that there is an evil in American society that leads people to commit these assassinations, partly encouraged by the freedom of American law to allow citizens to bear arms, and also produced by a psychological flaw that appears nested in the minds of the American settler.
It is also clear the fault of the American government not only veto the indiscriminate sale of weapons to the public, guns that are sometimes high-power, nor the governments have not been striving to make a call to disarmament.
If the government of Barack Obama does something to block these laws, or the companies behind them, which will be more clear is that this year there will be more assassinations in the United States and in other countries.
Obviously also the passivity of the American churches and religious leaders, who are more worried about their family lives to preach on the last pirouette of a pet or not to invade your blog.
I appeal to all people who love life, to the families of those who have suffered such tragedies, the communities who were frightened to death of innocent people, and even the churches that their pastors were killed or brothers in Christ, to join in a crusade to stop something in this wave of violence that shook the United States.
