Great explanation! We can learn from historical people.

Blessed is the memory of the righteous... Ravi Zacharias was a phenomenal preacher and his ministry blessed countless.. Nothing will change my admiration and honour for him.

Great job, brother. If he less ambiguously professed his faith, it would be just the thing his detractors would continually cling to in dismissing him. My sense is that he believes but wants to know exactly what that means. And if you dig that deep, you'll likely find more questions than answers. Mystery will always be a part of our quest to know God.

Thanks for sharing, and solid takes throughout. I never knew the extent of Ravi’s wrongdoings (200 victims, thousands embezzled). It really underscores the importance of walking in the light and living in community. May Ravi’s family, staff, and victims receive healing in time and their faith be not hindered by the harm he caused.

This is a profound account that causes me to reflect upon my views. We are all sinning saints, striving for the highest heights and all falling short. How much should we allow Ravi's sin to negate his kingdom work? Isn't that what Satan would want, for the Kingdom work to be negated?

Have always wondered how the elites would allow such a strong Christian defense in these end times. No they will not.

Sinners in the comment section calling others sinners.

He should have shared his weakness to his friends and by exposing Satan he would have get the victory

He repented but he allowed his old nature to arise and he yielded to it and Satan rapped him up like Samson

More preachers need this kind of understanding..most send their brothers to hell because they don’t know who’s God and what Grace is..

You’re a good man preacher to have this kind of understanding

Ravi was saved but he allowed the devil to use his flesh but his sins is forgiven for his past,present and future..man will not forgive but Jesus did and Ravi has enough time in his sickness to make himself right..the man is in Heaven

He’s in Heaven my friends

He’s in Heaven my friends

His poor wife and family and those victims 😢, i feel more bad about them and the devastation of the damage he did. I pray they all find deep healing and fogiveness in Jesus.

RZIM seems to have sided with the hard core leftists to crucify Ravi. They butchered a great ministy. Christianity Today completed the task. Were there no one with the wisdom to conduct an enquiry among Christians???

unfortunately few Churches have accountability and its all about Grace

Ravi was my main mentor, when my wife conceived a boy I wanted 2 things for him to be born on the same day I was born, and that He will carry out the name of Ravi, He was born on the 22 May 2020 at 10.57 pm exact the same day I was born, and I names Him Ravi Zacharias Farid, I cryed so much when Nabil and Ravi passed away, but I struggled for 2 years with my sons name in the end I was convinced to change His name to Mathew John Farid, He is 4 now and He can pray, repent, call out to the Holy Spirit and always say Grace before the meals even in public. I just started to listen to God's word through Ravi again. Thank you Lord,Amen hallelujah and praise the Lord.

David had a heart after God and had the affair with Bathsheba. Psalm 51 was written by his heart. His insight still stands. Im not condoning --not at all. The great condemnation is coming from John MacArthur in his holier than thou burning words from his pedestal filled with a know it all condescending tone. At 19: 12 " It might be a time for all of Christendom to tee off on Ravi because he deserved it. " Really? Ever hear of that Man from Nazareth who said something about stone throwing?/ Man of Faith here--believe me not perfect --but TV evangelists 99% of them anyway are a part of my past. Doing away with Confession and Accountablity---(21: 22 in this link--)....well that is true. Maybe we need confessors --seems like the Roman Church has that---and yet mega Churches on more than one occasion bashes it. Maybe the Roman Church has something after all. There aare lot of double standards in the evangelical world. If folks are not busy enough hating Catholics, they are busy talking about how to " get saved" and bounce around in this wholesome and homogenous world of Christain Colleges and Church crowds stuffing themselves with carbohydrates on Sunday after mega church "services" --all of it living up to a sterotype which the world sees and the Evangelical world certainly lives up to. Seems like we all need to have accountability---without class "karen" type of manipulation. There is enough of that to go around. i While we speak of Ravi--be wary of those who use this as on occasion to set up shop creating yet another vacuum filled with manipulation and guilt and pompous attitudes excluding people . Confession----pops up here a lot. We all need accountability with a friend/ prayer partner. it diffuses the near occasion of sin. Trusting somebody with out weaknesses is THE place to start. Again, The Orthodox and Catholic Churches have been doing this since day one. ( Im not talking about saying 3 Our Fathers and being doine but real confession.) Maybe these ancient Churches have something that Christendome should embrace---as the point of it is to talk to another believer in the Lord---and grow in Faith and pray for one another. " Whose sins ye retain are retained, whose sins are forgiven are forgiven" --Yep that man from Nazareth had it set up for us---now THAT would get us out of our homogenous bublles wouldn't it? Christs Holy Church did this --time to bring it back. Yep for all of us---

Good opinion. Ravi is like most men. We all need to be born again.

I was very blessed by this episode. I loved Ravi & his ministry. I was so heartbroken when it came to light that he had these kinds of sins manifesting in his life. I pushed hard against the cancel-culture tide because we all fall short. I appreciate your measured response to the situation, a reminder of what it is to walk in the light vs the darkness, and an admonishing against living a double life. God bless your ministry

Interesting video, but would be better without the heavy music in the background. Its very distracting

This is by far the best and most godly message I have ever heard. Everyone person in this planet should listen to it. Thank you for your godly wisdom and spiritual let life.

Up next, Robert Morris. And Bickle

May I make a gentle suggestion: let his family defend him even a little bit? Nathan Zacharias has some evidence that is pretty significant it's not quite the way it has been framed. It troubles me no one has been allowed to offer any balanced defense. Even a criminal is allowed his day in court.

Even after TB Joshua died, they slandered him

I’m so disappointed

Beautifully said, if we all humble ourselves we walk in the light, not by the Light but in the Light God bless you, and I hope this man Ravi had a moment to repent before He took his last breath . God told us that there is no repentance in the grave, and I believe a few seconds he showed it to him so that he would not be utterly cast away .

Thankyou so much for this, tour heart in delivering this message is honourable, and spoke to my heart, that though I struggle, and my tendency is to keep that in secret, I won't now, I don't want to fall into error, I would rather be transparent even in my struggles. This really helped me, thankyou so much

I like the commentary where he said Ravi' s truth about the gospel was intellectual and with the mind his heart was not changed by the truth of the gospel he teaches. I don't want to be a judge here we are all sinners saved by grace and no double life living. So sad May we run the race and not attempt to run the race. Let's finish well. So we be proud when the master says well done good and faithful servant

😢We all need to lay our weakness to the cross and daily praying in the Spirit without ceasing so to align our lives to Gods will coz even as born again believer our old nature is there fighting the Spirit. Temptation is sure to come, If Jesus as a man could live a clean live he showed us how. Consistency in prayer, dats all he did, in d3 Temple a nod feeding de poor and he a healing. Mmmh! Sad to hear about his sexual conduct. I loved his teachings

A false teacher.

USE GOD'S GIFTED MUSTARD SEED: We all benefit from the deep-dive research inside mortal work and actions - ON ALL FACULTIES (mind, spirit, body). This vid-author states, "Ravi was an honorable, wise, and intellectual speaker . . ." Then the author ends that thought with the question, "How did Ravi get there?" I argue a FULL STOP HERE to state, Ravi did NOT "get there". Rather, Ravi WAS ALREADY THERE . . . By investigating infested habitual predatory and parasitic mindsets to explore, discover, and admit the fall of Christendom WITHIN WE - 'THE BRIDE OF CHRIST' - ask, "Are we willing to confess OUR COMMON DUPLICITOUS LIFESTYLES?" . . . Jesus led by example turning over the tables of people's agendas inside the temple SHOUTING WITH OUTRIGHT AUTHORITY, "IT IS WRITTEN, MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER, BUT YOU HAVE MADE IT A DEN OF THIEVES." NOTE: These Jews were OUT IN BROAD DAYLIGHT LIVING THIER DISSONANCE IN THIER DARKNESS. As this duplicitous lifestyle strangles our minds we are not fooling God, but, instead, we CHOOSE to satiate in our dark apart from His Light. Instead, turn around to get 'real and raw.' HOW? With consistent accountability, honesty, and humility thought-by-thought and step-by-step . . . We are forgiven and 'get to' abide grateful as we get our 'temple' aligned to behold our mind, spirit, and body surrendering and conforming to Christ's Mercy AND Grace for HIS GLORY. Matthew 11

Ravi will always be my favorite apologist. He was a human being, just like any of us, he sinned he was not Jesus Christ but he was blessed with the gift of reasoning and proclaiming, explainning, defending the Gospel and, why believing in Jesus Christ; is the only way to Salvation. I loved to hear him defend Christianity to Muslims

Almost Everyone that God used in the scripture had more flaws than Ravi

This moral failure will keep happening as long as the Religious leaders who are enveloped in luxury, fame and money, place themselves on a pedestal, playing God and abusing the concept of Forgiveness. What about the Christians around him? I’m quite sure they knew about his whereabouts, what about the accountability? Ravi was not alone in this.

If this can happen to Ravi, the rest of need to becareful and guard our hearts. Lord have mercy on us sinners.🙏

White Jesus sucks It makes me so mad 😡

Many pastors have chimed in with regards to whether Ravi was really a Christian or not. Some say he was never a Christian because they say how can he continue in ministry without the Holy Spirit convicting him of his sins. Those who don't believe in eternal security would conclude he lost his salvation. The narrator of this video believes that Ravi was a Christian who walked in darkness until his death. I haven't made up my mind yet. But I do know wherever Ravi is right now, he will stay there for all of eternity and he will give an account to God for everything that he did while he was alive.

This is tragic. Some things are very hard to understand. My heart aches for Margie. They used to go to our church in the 70's before they moved to the States. He was deeply respected and loved. I know we can't be naive. I know we're all sinners in need of a Savior. I understand we all struggle with sin. But I can't understand this. I wasn't a follower of Ravi, but years ago my friends went to a church to hear him, so I went too. It was distressing. The Lord wasn't there, and I didn't understand why. Ravi was animated and preached with great earnest; but his words seem to just fall to the ground. It was very distressing. No sinful pleasure is worth this. 😥

I liked Ravis books. Money, popularity, not good things.

June 17,2024 Just listened to your podcast and was blessed by it. For I also was a listener of Ravi. He came into my life at a time his words hit home and I thought he was a true man of God. He made sense. But we are all born in sin. I was broken and saddened when I heard the news of his "2nd life" hidden from the world. But like all of us, he also will have to stand before God one day and give an account and God is our final judge. We only get one "life" to live, and that is to live it to honor our Lord and Savoir, Jesus. We should take that seriously.

I throughly enjoyed and DID learn about Christ and apologetics from Mr. Zacharias, and i feel one of the most wonderful parts of RZIM was Nabeel Quereshi and he was quite important to me yet am glad he didnt experience the downfall....😢

I am a better Christian (partly) because of his teachings, and I can be even better by also learning from his shortcomings. He is a celebrated figure, and towards the end I think he started to believe in his own myth. His own strength. He fed his flesh more than his spirit. Seeking God purely from an intellectual pursuit will dry the heart as (i believe) did for Ravi. This faith is about surrendering, faith and trust in the Lord. If it is 100% cerebral, it will be in danger of becoming transactional.

8:30. 13:30

I don’t believe this narrative. Why defame a man after his death. Why didn’t they sue him while he was alive.

Here’s the end all to the sick and tragic life of Ravi Zachariah, it showed that he knew that everything he professed wasn’t true.

Corruption is rampant everywhere including the church , the church cannot join with world leaders or worldly things , thats where apologetics is not right , you cant intellectualise salvation.

I always respected Ravi, and I still do, he made me love God more than anyone, yes he was just a man and a sinner as we all are, no human being is free from sin. God is merciful to all of us when we repent
