“Correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading
to a knowledge of the truth.” – 2 Timothy 2:25
“Brothers, if anyone
is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a
spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one
another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” – Galatians 8:12
"Having been in the UK
for less than 24 hours. I have spoken to some pastors who have been threatened
by Jacob Prasch if they meet with me or have me speak at their churches. This
relentless and spurious attack against myself and those who refuse to side with
Moriel has driven me to cancel my trip and return to South Africa on Wednesday.
I sincerely apologize
for letting folk down but I can no longer minister under this cloud of
accusation and threats against people that I dearly love and care about. I
refuse to respond in the flesh and seeing that Jacob refuses to meet to try
resolve his issues with me, I am left with no other choice than to step away
for the sake of peace in the Body and healing for those who have been deeply
hurt by this ungodly and wicked business. Until the Lord brings resolution to
this whole debacle, I am choosing to step away from ministering outside my
local church.
I do hope that
reasonable folk are able to understand my position. Perhaps one day should the
Lord choose to vindicate me, I will return to the UK.
Until then, may the
Lord bless His Church and cause her to grow into the image of Him who loved us
and died for our transgressions.” – David Nathan (1)
Jacob Prasch may have initially pointed out valid errors in
David Nathan’s teaching but he has continually ignored Nathans willingness and
appeal to correction and reconciliation. Now the sheep are left to contend with
two erring brothers/leaders and try to sort through this mess. Tragically,
Jacob Prasch won’t let it go and apparently has an agenda of destroying David
Nathan. All the while ignoring David
Nathan’s appeals and openness to correction and reconciliation.
Jacob/Moriel continually persists in putting out letters and
videos addressing David Nathan’s error etc.. (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7)
David has continually in all his public addresses of these
issue’s, asked for reconciliation and was open to correction ALWAYS. (8) (9)
Jacob Prasch says “Philippians 1:9 “That your
love may abound in all knowledge and real discernment. Unless there is
discernment and doctrinal knowledge of God’s Word, you don’t have the love of
Jesus.” (1)
Jacob may want to read verses 9 & 10 together, as it
certainly speaks to his continual offensive behavior.
Philippians 1:9-10 “And this I pray, that your love may
abound yet more and more in knowledge and all judgement. That you may approve
things that are excellent; that you may be sincere and without offence till the
day of Christ.”
Thayer Definition: knowledge:
1) precise and correct knowledge
1a) used in the NT of the knowledge of things ethical and
divine
Thayer Definition: without offence
1) having nothing to strike against, not causing to stumble
1a) of a smooth road
1b) metaphorically of not leading others to sin by one’s
mode of life
Strongs: actively inoffensive, that is, not leading into
sin; passively faultless, that is, not led into sin: – none (void of, without)
offence.
His actions speak for themselves and certainly are a
stumbling block to many. Prasch’s repeated railings and now threatening others
to not associate with David Nathan is brutish and ignorant and is completely
lacking in “knowledge of things ethical and divine.” His insincerity and over
the top offensiveness are apparent and blatant even within his own ranks. Yet
many continue to be bullied into silence and comply, so they don’t become his
next target. This behavior is not new to Prasch, this is what he does and has
done to many in the past.
The biggest elephant in the room (yes there is more than one) in all of this is, WHY hasn’t Jacob Prasch embraced David Nathan as a brother who has been and is willing at every turn to be corrected and reconciled????? This should continue to ring louder and louder in the ears of all who have been impacted, shipwrecked, and heart-sick over this.

Jacob Prasch still continues to rage like a rampaging
imbecile with no thought or concern for the body of Christ. There is no
doubt that Jacob will continue to put out more videos and letters of
“clarification” etc. plus whatever threats and antics he does behind
closed doors. I do want to thank David Nathan for at least bringing this to the
light. Perhaps Jacob will see the wisdom in accepting your offer to be corrected
and reconcile. Till then, the question will remain, Why hasn’t Jacob Prasch
embraced this offer from David Nathan?
What was so obvious to me is the fact that Jacob choose to
ignore David’s pleas to work through it, didn’t seem to bother anyone else. I
finally figured out why, it’s twofold for me. Coming out of deception and being
beaten by those who we had to break away from I realize that seeing unjust,
cruel treatment of other believers is a trigger for me. I now find it ironic
that Jacob, who is known for speaking out against false teachers, yet he has
the same mode of operation that they have when they are threatened or
challenged.
The second thing is, I have honestly never seen a well-known
leader be willing and open to correction and reconciliation. More importantly,
is David’s concern for the body of Christ at all cost to him. Praying for God’s
intervention and wisdom in all of this.
