I have learned to beg for forgiveness for my own sins and to not judge anyone else because I don’t know the whole story. And I need God’s mercy like everyone else.
Amen Dennis. I think real Christianity is applying the Word 2 our own lives and taking care of our own sinfulness and not pointing the finger and judging others. I’ve got enough flaws and failures of my own 2 worry about, I don’t need 2 look at anyone else!!!!
If Mr.Zacharias is not to be judged by the people of Christ, I am afraid you haven't understood your Bible. And we now have abundant evidence of very grievous sins. We may not know 'the whole story' but the 98 percent that we do know is quite enough.

Although this was exposed about Ravi, it did not change how eloquent he was and on point he was. It's sad he was going through this battle, and the women who were involved as well. I was disappointed and sad when I heard the news, but it also taught me that Jesus is the only one who we can trust. God bless you all, and I'm hoping that Ravi got right with God before he passed away.
I think I agree. I’ve been around long enough to see when a person is exposed for their sins and hypocrisy and then they become ashamed and turn from their wicked ways. It’s better to confess your sins in this life than to have to stand before God and give an account. If some people knew about Ravi Z and did nothing...oh my, I would not want to be in his shoes when they stand before God!
Most of what she talked about was on the internet long before he died. Once I read those emails and his response and the fact that he made her sign a NDA I lost all respect for him. This was at least a couple years before he died. www.raviwatch.com/news/story/sex-scandal/. It is one thing to fall it is another to continue to lie and cover it up even after being found out. The Bible is very clear on this point. Prov. 28:13 People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy.
It appears that as we approach the last of the last days the Lord is exposing the false teacher's. The scriptures tell us that your sin will find you out...and the word of God is always true.
Not so much false teacher, but true teaching alongside terrible sinning. God is definitely exposing false teachers as well, plus the hypocrites who are living double lives, like Ravi and so many other leaders. ❤️
@@RLaraMoore I honestly hadn't listened to him. I would assume that being involved in sexually deviant behavior as he was at the very least he brought a reproach upon the gospel.
Today it is the way of life in church .Church youth outreach , Church christmas Ball , Cell meetings etc . Practice church in your home and go out into the world and preach the Good News .
I think you like to hear from a preacher who lived below or just above the poverty line for over 50 years. His name is Zac Poonen. He's 80 years old started preaching the gospel in India and is still preaching on Utube.
@Living Wine you make some good points. I wanted to give Ravi, the benefit of the doubt. But as more information has come, it appears that sin had become his lifestyle. Although we all sin, sin it should not be a lifestyle. It is something we should actively be fighting. A lot of his behavior was well thought out it appears. I still think he was a wonderful thinker and helped the Christianity. I hope he really repented before he died. But it seems he was pretty calloused already. But who am I to say. This is a sad story. Regardless, Jesus is still on his throne and he will continue to do his work of bringing people to his kingdom. I Praise God for that.
Heartbreaking. May our heart's cry be "Search me, O God and try my heart and see if there be any way of grief (marginal reading in KJV) in me!" Psalm 139

"Grace is not spoiled by the rotten wooden spout it runs through. God spoke by an ass to Balaam, but that did not spoil His words. God can fill the mouths of ravens with food for Elijah and yet the raven is a raven still. We must not suppose because God has made Ravi useful that he was converted nor must we ignore the truth because God delivered it through a rotten vessel."
He was alive when one of the victim accused him , but that time they signed a confidentiality contract thats y it never came to light n who knows the same might hv happened if he was alive inorder to protect his precious reputation , i dnt understand why people cannot just accept what he hv done wrong and just move on with it , me too i use to love watching his sermons but i also know that people can fall and we are all sinners only our God is perfect , why is it so hard to admit what he have done , just because he is a christian leader doesn't mean he cannot fall or sin , accept the truth n move on
Exposing the truth is shining light in the darkness where evil lies. Ravi was given the opportunity to confess but denied it publicly. We as believers are called to keep each other accountable and to be discerning. We are in a spiritual war and as christians we need to learn from this situation and grow: not be ignorant and brush it away.
Funny...you say that. I have watched several of his videos (and they are not short) and yes...to explain an example, he describes a far fetch story that really is fiction but he manages twig it, so it sounds believable. Too good to be true?
No Justice in this case. Ravi flat GOT away. Not only for his sexual, but for destroying. The Lives and livelihoods of the women. Who were abused by him.. He slipped through god's Fingers. And laughingly Squirted His Hypocritical semen Athos poor women Shame on him 7:20
Til that glorious day when he is thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, to be tormented day and night for ever and ever..hallelujah! Oh Lord, haste the day
Roys mentions that people are looking at him as an apologist; was he really the best. I was deeply grieved when he spoke at a conference in Aspen; a couple asked if it were God’s will that their seven year old daughter suffered terribly from a medical condition, and his weak reply was that we would see that God was like a doctor with a hypodermic needle, giving us a shot that was painful, but was what we needed. It was a heartless, shallow answer to these grieving people. I’ve felt sad for the wonderful organizers of this conference, who had the very best of intentions.
The simple answer is yes. Nothing happens in this world that God doesn't allow to happen. He could stop everything painful and evil, but he doesn't. We should find peace in the fact that "God works all things together for good to those who believe." Also, as sinners, God is just to allow trials to befall us because as sinners we deserve any suffering in this life that we get, even though this girl does not deserve this affliction more than I do. We truly deserve hell for our rebellion and hate towards God, and it is by the grace of God that we don't get what we deserve as soon as we sin. God sent his Son to live a perfect life and be the perfect sacrifice for the sin of the world, so that anyone who believes God and the testimony of His only begotten Son will have eternal life. Grace to you and peace.
That's awful. Saying she was meant to be sick, rather than cultivating relationships with real Christian healers, if he wasn't going to do it himself. I've seen healings done by Christians, known people to have been healed of cancer by prayer. It looks like he was just an intellectual, not really a follower if Jesus. I was devastated, when I heard about his philandering, for a while I had listened to his radio show. Now I'm over it, it sounds like he never applied what he read in the Bible. I'm not crying for him, that was dumb, and he wasn't what he pretended to be. Sorry to hear that, I hope that couple found help elsewhere.
"Hello my child, @@rosemarietolentino3218. _You've been praying for breakthrough from this pain for a while... I'm allowing this to be the medicine that you need instead of getting you the help you've been praying for."_ That sounds more like some eastern philosophy BS than it does Jesus. Find me scripture to back that up.
Shalom! So much lessons to be learned from this ... My prayer goes to all the victims of Ravi's disgraceful conduct and ungodly behavior ... May we all find healing and restoration as we process this in the comfort and edification of the Holy Spirit and God's Word.

Will you happily accept and repent, if you are called rapist, murderer, thief and prostitute ??? Everyone has right to defend and justify himself/herself for their act while being alive. You can't blame someone without proof after their death.
I will be the last to condemn RZ, knowing well two things: 1) there is no absolute evidence of any of these allegations. And each time you hear, “I believe”, “I think”, and so forth; it’s just seems like a cooking up 2) he is dead and gone, and when he was alive, we didn’t hear anything.
Because she liked being touched and love the money she got as bribe and maybe a promise of a hugh sum of money that never came through...now he's dead so no more touch....no more money so therefore greed now revenge
So.... biblereading brings knowledge. But only Holy Spirit brings change and makes you Christlike...walking in unselfish divine power and love. Isn't that in 2 Cor 3:18? Oh yeah, sure it is.
@@ahenkansomuah8689 I think I know what you are saying and thank you. But I chose to be a forensic psychologist, so the better I know the predators the better I protect everyone else.
When I was 18 months old, the courts took me away from my mom and dad saying they were unfit parents. The day I was removed, I landed in a foster home. There was 7 foster kids. Two were girls and the 5 were boys. This foster famly was evil in every way. I dont know when it started, but I was being sexual abused by the foster family only and true son. He was 21 years old and I was 5 years old when I realized somthing was very wrong. When my social worker came by, I told her time after time I was being sexual abused but the evil foster mother named Mary Brown would say that I was making it up. The social worker did nothing. There was no love that that house! I never heard the words? I love you, I believe in you, nothing. If I reached for an apple to eat, my hands were slapped and iI was told to put it back. The old man of the house lived a life as an alcoholic and he died from it. When I was 7, one day i was in my room after be beaten by the buckle of a belt ( that happen on a weekly basis ) I was crying and I was ready to take my own life by hanging myself. Interesting, the radio was playing gospel music. I cried out and said Lord! if you really love me then I need to hear it! Then all of a sudden, the music stop and a voice came from the radio saying, there is a young boy out there and God wans him to know he is deeply loved and the music starting up again. For anyone who attends church, you know that not even the paastor will stop the worship. I jumped up and down and my heart was gald and my tears turn to joy!! There after, my Jesus took me out of that home and put me in a worderful home. Yes, taste the Lord and know he is good. Ravi was someone I looked up to and after hearing his own sexual immorality I started to beg the question? Is Ravi in hell? All I can say is that God is the one who knows. My pain of my yourth is always there but the love of Jesus keeps me togather. Here is the thing about ture salvation, we do sin but then we our convited and we prayer and ask for forgivness. Christians dont practice sin. Another example of what it's like to keep going in your own sin and doing nothing about it? In high school, I had baseball practice for the last cass of the day. So hear we have it, every day I would practice baseball daily. The person of ture faith is the opposite. We sin but we dont practice lawlessness. As we grow in the Lord, sin seems to fade away. Why? because I love Jesus, I dont want to break his heart. I want to love him and people. My past makes it hard for me to understand what it is to love other people? All that said, my God have mercey on Ravi and us and the lost. I dont condone Ravi actions. Please, may we always just trust in our Lord Jesus. If it were not for him? I would not be hear. My God will deal with the man who sexually abused me. God bless all that took the time to read my broken english. My you find rest ubder the wings of the almighty. Isaiah 41: 10. Do not be afraid, for i am with you. Do not be discouraged, for I am your God. I will hold you up with my victorious hand. I close now with many tears running down my face. Come Lord Jesus, come

Why is Ravi s wife and children not questioned ? Instead of asking 4rd 5th parties .....What about the Thompsons? Why are they not interviewed ? Why is the story coming out now ? So what if they were rich people, wasn't Joseph from the Bible s seducer a rich lady ? Why after his death ? Why not b4 death?
Have you seen any comments from Ravi's son? I hurt for him...he is so broken over this same issue that you raise. He states that the family was silenced...they were told not to speak out. Ravi's wife was not questioned but they asked for his cellphones and she turned all of them over to the attorneys. Neither did they question the rest of the family. I do believe Ravi is guilty of something but I cannot understand why he went to the secular courts to sue Lorie Anne instead of seeking counsel with Christians to resolve the matter. The RZIM board did not act in his best interest when they allowed him to reign with no rules. They allowed him to spend with no accountability. They just wanted to keep receiving a paycheck...In my opinion, they were not interested in functioning with integrity, honesty or accountability. The women should have had interviews by the board years ago. Ravi should have repented when the first massage business was closed by the partner. They were both scandalous because they just opened up another one. More allegations arose so the partner said he shut the second one down because of Ravi's bad behavior. I wish we could turn back the hands of time. Ravi started to fraternize with prosperity gospel preachers. The association with Hillsong was a big shock to me. That church is guilty of covering up for a pedophile. Brian Houston's dad molested so many children. Ravi did not contend for the faith when he preached at the Mormon church. He never distinguished between the Mormon Jesus and the Christian Jesus. There were so many red flags. The board did not care as long as the money was flowing. If the family had insisted that the NDA be made public before his death, Ravi would have had pressure to explain his actions and repent.
Ravi's wife and daughter are RZIM board and executives. They initially denied sexual allegations and later approved quarter million dollars with conditions for Thompsons never to talk again. Why after his death only these things surface? I think Ravi is a master communicator to hide these facts while alive. It was RZIM board who hired independent investigators to seek the facts. So, these are not third or fourth hand hearsay. They were first hand victims of these horrible sexual acts. I think it is terrible stewardship of donor's money to use it to fund these ladies. Whatever it is, the family are hurting and the name of Jesus is disgraced among the unbelievers.
His wife and dau were on the board. Dau was president. Both have since resigned. Entire board needs to resign. The board allowed Ravi to continue in sin. The board now wants transparency. Well start by making public board members.
Hear true voice of Our Father in Heaven when the gospel preachers preach and give Praise , Glory and thanks to the Lord; Don’t give Glory to the preachers
It doesn't invalidate what he preached, but it does invalidate his validity as a minister standing in God's name. The kingdom of God is not about winning arguments.
@jfgjgy gyjg I understand the sentiment but I don't agree with your wording, ''yeah, the abuse is bad, but the abuser was still right." What I actually said is more accurately put as, "yeah, the abuse is bad, but the abusers teachings were still right". One thing is a person, the other is ideas. People fail, ideas are just ideas. I'm sure there are people who can't separate the two like you are describing, but that's on them. If someone comes out and says "we shouldn't kill people" and then goes and kills people afterwards, it's on you if you now don't want to believe that "we shouldn't kill people" because that person contradicted their original truth afterwards. By no means do I love what ravi did, in fact I hate it, and I agree it affects christianity as a whole. But you've got to stay objective with everything

@@philipgopal7594 I'm certainly not suggesting to beat a person up after they passed away and can't defend themselves. However, I don't think a person who was abused should have to stay silent just because their abuser has passed away. That's a punishment to the one that was offended against. And they do not deserve that . From what I heard people DID try to bring it up and make allegations when he was alive. But he would threaten them and would use his money, power, and clout to silence it. And the church refused to fully look into the matter. I'm reminded that after Judas died, the apostles did talk about his sin . It's true, only God can judge Ravi Zacharias , as far as where he will spend eternity. That isn't the same as revealing a truth about someone . And facing up to it.
It is proven to me that's so important to live in the spirit like the apostle Paul said. I remember that i knew ravi on the internet since 2014. Eventhough i see a lot of people admired him, but i feel something suspicious about him. I could never able to wacht the video of his preaching or teaching on the internet. I could never stand more than a view seconds. So i decided just to ignore him since then. And when all of it came up, i then realize why. The Holy Spirit had warn me not to listen to this man, since he was not like that's seen on the internet. Praise the Lord Jesus for His mercy and love...

Excellent, Przemko! You never ever see any kind of truly Christian response to Ravi's infractions. No one has a Galatians 6:1 approach in all of their hooplah about doing this for God's glory. Bunch of opportunists, the whole lot of them! smh
@Master Prophet Unconditional love is a gift of ruah ha kodesh and comes directly from God. It is our imperative. However, that is not our choice! Love is a kind of energy that comes from God and flows through our body, mind and soul.

If you have that kind of understanding and mystical power, you can serve the others according to Gal 6:1. Good point, bro!

@Rootangent I can’t agreed more with you. If Ravi had many wrong doing in the past, he should must face consequences as a renown preacher by misleading many Christians. All Ravi staff or his assistance kept silent about it ! Why are they afraid of him ? Didn’t Christ said you can’t hide a lamp under the bed, yet these hypocrites start to bad mouth about him after his passing . Can he be resurrected and defend himself ? I don’t worship Ravi as an idol but I find those people now start to blasphemy him is very unfair to him are as evil and corrupted if it is truth !
Lori Anne Thompson did confront Ravi the proper Christian way. You can see her victim impact statement to understand why others remained silent. I heard Ravi spoke openly about Lori accusing her and her husband as extortionists. That made Ravi look believable and innocent. Lori and her husband signed a non-disclosure agreement in good faith and prevented to speak.
I believe Ravi was one of the best Christian Apologist there was. We must learn to separate the man from the vessel. God will always do great things through those who allow his will to be done despite mans flaws or weaknesses.
Ravi Zacharias sad and hypocritical life is a reminder to all in ministry. It is possible to be effective and win many, yet in the end, hear the words of our Lord say, "Depart from me, l never knew you."
All of us have our own "hidden scandals" in life (all fall short in the Glory of God) that only God knows... the difference to some is that their hidden scandals were UNCOVERED... So let us not judge one another and pray for them... as the saying goes, "Do not judge if you are not the Judge (God)."... Amen.
Please read 1 Kings 11..... and while about it please read James 2:13, If God could forgive Solomon (please read 1 Kings 11) and God could forgive David who killed the husband of a woman he coveted, the God of all love is able to forgive Ravi as well...... Sure it appears Ravi had a besetting sin - a problem. But as to his ultimate judgement, my hope is that humans would not play God....
How about exposing organizations with weak oversight of leaders before scandals erupt? Good governance can stop or mitigate bad behavior. Every leader must be subject to elders and supervised closely, no matter what.
Even the elders or oversight committee members have to be chosen properly, not because they have money or power, and not because they are pals with the leader and therefore will do his bidding.

@P.R. Prays no children was involved it was adult women. This is why Jesus said just by you thinking about having sex with another person its like you committed the sin.
@P.R. Prays Nobody is playing dumb all im saying he who has never sin may cast the first stone. And if you can tell me you never lust in your own mind Then your lying and that's another sin. So no matter how we feel about his conduct it shouldn't motivate you to hate. God bless 🙏😇

@P.R. PraysRemember Jesus is new testament and David was old testament 🤣🙏🙏 then again the bible said to forgive those who offended you. So do the victims have to forgive Ravi???
He was a highly intelligent Narcissist sociopath. The ability to charm to assert control and the control that he had over his ignited fury is evidence of that. I'd like to see HG Tudor's analysis of RZ, like Tudor's 'A very royal Narcissist' series on TH-cam about Me-Again Markle and Prince Harry.
@@jonathandoelander6130 Yes, all the forthcoming evidence is pointing to that sad conclusion. I would only add that "he was a _high_ functioning sociopath"
Because there are many victims and telling their stories is not only part of their healing, it's acknowledging the sin done to them. God doesn't tell us to sweep sin under the rug if a person has died. No. It has to be brought out in the open and dealt with. Especially if it is deeply disturbing sin within the church. God is about CLEANSING, EXPOSING and BRINGING FORTH TRUTH so many affected can be healed and also...a warning to others ministry leaders who may be going down the same path. ps: These things came out before Ravi passed away. But so many leaders in the church turned a blind eye.
Why all this now? Why come out with accusations when the man isn't around to defend himself? This is probably an attack to bring down Ravi's life long commitment to win souls for God. Is this attack working? Apparently! The question is, is it worth it?
I keep asking the same thing. Whether he is guilty or not, all this seems to be doing is to discredit the gospel message that he brought. He taught a solid scripture.
Truth doesn't need to be defended.. He already knew about this scandal but he kept silent. We all know the influence he had all over the world. All his speech were man's wisdom not of God. We can all know by his speech.
@@livinghope1561 Yes it does. Ive read the Bible backwards and forwards. I read it every day for years now. 2 Peter 2:1-2 2 But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed.--- Different versions say "maligned" and "evil spoken of". I'm quoting this one from the ESV. Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from the Lord. Jeremiah 17:5, we would all do well to take our Lord's advice to heart!
Remember, if Ravi helped you out in your faith to the Lord, it's the Lord your faith goes, not man!! What Satan meant for evil, God always uses for good to those who seek Him. The Gospel of Jesus Christ that he preached will never get distorted, the truth is always truth. God's word will always prevail even if humans preachers fall. I understand my own depravity, my own darkness, we are all in the batle to the end of our lives.. If we don't wash our laundry before God, He will expose it to the world. Don't let another men's sins hinder or quench your faith in Jesus Christ. Only Christ is sinless. Hebrews 12:12 "Looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith.
If this so called great man of God was living a double life, do you really think the message he preached was from God? Don't be fooled, even Satan can masquerade as an angel of light. Man is fallible, we put our faith and focus on the Master not the messenger!
Matthew 23:3/paraphrase... Listen, follow and obey what the teachers/pastors/rabbis/priests say/tell you to do, but do not imitate or copy them for they do not practice what they preached... Amen.
If we could only face the mirror while looking others, am sure we can see more mote in our eyes. No matter how filthy a person is...still we all stand at the judgement of God. Revelation 20:13
@@yomynameislaney Truly a nasty situation. I'm glad I'm not the judge here. I don't know his heart although his actions, as far as anyone can tell are showing a slimy, devious side. There is a place of reckoning that I'm sure will be unplesant indeed. And, if Ravi did not in fact cry out in repentance, that will fall to the Judge of the universe to decide as He alone can make that call. All I am certain of is that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners of whom I personally am chief. I deserved hell as much or more than Ravi and have received mercy. I suggest receiving this forgiveness yourself on a second by second basis and giving out as much as you receive. With what judgement we go after others with the Almighty will come after us and you don't get to slide either. You may face judgement just as harsh as he if you cannot forgive the worst of the worst.
@@yomynameislaney "Grow up"? Nice bitter touch. Nobody ever said Ravi was not in sin. You have made classic assumptions for someone in your position. You've been very abused by this life it is obvious. But, you need not stay there. Bitterness is the fluent language of your heart it is clear. Forgiveness is your only path forward. Wandering in the wilderness filled with rage has not been very good to you. I hope you find peace. You have been muted from this conversation.
Shedding light in the darkness where evil lies is not about judging someone, it's exposing the truth. God has not given us a mind of fear but a sound mind in a time where discernment is necessary. We are in a spiritual war, the enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy; where many will be wolves in sheep's clothing; we need to protect our heart, bodies and our loved ones.
If this man was so bad why didn’t they come forward prior to his death they knew they all knew So sad a man who is dead can’t defend himself.where are the real Christian who followed him
If any body followed any man , they cannot be called as quote "real christian" , real Christians only follow Christ , but you will not know that because you are so blinded by your leader that you forget that humans are sinners and when i say humans i mean even christian leaders too, only God is perfect , don't put your blind faith on people no matter who it is
Exposing the truth is shining light in the darkness where evil lies. Ravi was given the opportunity to confess but denied it publicly. We as believers are called to keep each other accountable and to be discerning. We are in a spiritual war and as christians we need to learn, grow and heal from this situation: not be ignorant and brush it away. Many people world wide have been affected by this. Only God knows if he confessed and repented.
Yes let’s talk about it. Dear people, do not bring down the man of God for the sin he committed. This just validates that the Bible is true. You look at men in the Bible and see they fell in terrible sin, look at David who committed adultery and was a murderer, what about Solomon who had thousands of wives and Concubines, or Noah who was a drunker, or Paul who was a murderer, Abraham slept with someone who was not his wife and made another child who was not the chosen one and so many more who God used. These are men just like us. Christians why cry Ravi down, instead defend him, not the sin but because he was one of us. You leave nothing for the ungodly. Why take down his messages when they have inspired many, is it no God’s word? My friends understand this is a ploy of the enemy and it came from right in his ministries. Ravi is wearing his crowns in Heaven and did a good job here on earth. Well done to the man of God. Many cant carry the anointing he did. Target him down now, when he cannot defend himself, try to erase him so the word of God cannot travel across the world. You all are ridiculous. God qualified him and he has run his course. Well done.
I remember so many people condemned you Julie when you reported Ravi long ago. Look at them now which hole are they hiding? Shame on stupid righteous people who protects darkness and evil doers and thinks they are loving.

You are responsible for your own understanding. Read the scriptures for yourself. You are not supposed to let man teach you. That is why God gave you the Holy Spirit. You get not because you ask not.
You shall be judge according to how you judge others. Why slander someone who cant defend himself. Woe unto all men who cast stones at others while their own heart is evil and false.
It is so obvious that Satan with his old tricks (seduction) is alive and well targeting the servants of God, that's why we have to pray for our pastors.
@@gigiteh9749 Exactly. He was a satan worshipper and a devoted one, to bring down the name of the Living God. No one with a wee bit of faith in Jesus can do what he did. We must all wake up and call on the name of God .Praise Him . Worship Him. Preach ,heal and cast out demons. Let us take this as an opportunity to wake up from our slumber and put an end to this lazy Christianity . God bless
Commenters on this question are quite correct that we cannot look to men for the truth of God ...................but I must admit this one is really tearing me apart.
They did! If you knew anything about this scandal you would know that. RZ silenced victims and suppressed the truth while he was alive. In death, the ministry finally had access to the evidence they needed to complete a thorough investigation.
@@1981lashlarue Will you happily accept and repent, if you are called rapist, prostitute, murderer or thief etc ??? Everyone has right to defend and justify himself/herself for their act while being alive. You can't blame someone without proof after their death.
@@DaniUja Apparently, you haven't been paying attention to any of the evidence or else you wouldn't say that. I would hope that I would repent of those things not because I was called them, but if I did them. Ravi was accused while he was alive. Well before his death. He had plenty of time to repent, admit his guilt, and do the right thing. He did not. Instead, he continued in his ill deeds, hid the truth, and attacked and attempted to silence and destroy those that made accusations against him. There is evidence of his guilt. Plenty of it. He was in possession of it during his lifetime and would not permit anyone to have access to it. They now have it and it's damning. His own ministry and family has acknowledged his guilt. That's not good enough for you? Are you privy to exonerating information that they are not? The man is guilty. He was confronted in life but chose to continue in evil. He had time to repent but literally on his death bed, chose to continue in wickedness and suppress the truth.
Did anyone think about the pain and burned Ravi relive every time he done his sin, knowing what he knows about God and His word. A lot of people take sin for granted and argument why their sin is not the same as Ravi. Anybody that are in argument with Romans 1:24-32 are 100% the same as Ravi. Your desire for your sin is bigger than your fear for God. That is why Ravi even thank God for his sins - trying to convince himself that he is not sinning so that he can enjoy his sin. People that argue Romans1:24-32; Open your eyes and see what God is showing you, that it does not matter how well you know God and His word, you will damage a lot of other people’s live in continue with your own sin. Wake up and repent from your sins and turn away. It is not easy and asks unstopping that the Holy Spirit to help you, begged profoundly for forgiveness and Grace to turn away from your sin. See and accept this free warning and education from God and stop judging Ravi because your sins are not less than Ravi! Your sin is also damage other people “innocents” lives. I thank God for the example of what my sin will become if I ignore Romans 1:24-32…

Come on do your research. They've been trying to expose him since 2017. His ministry surpassed it and covered it up tried to sue people to threaten them to not come out and speak the truth. There's hundreds of photos he owned massage parlors in his testimony is a multiple victims of repeated sexual perversion again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again. At least since 2017 have people been trying to speak out.
Yes, Ravi was a wonderful and brilliant teacher. Such a shame he turned out to be such a fraud!!! But, he is no where near on par with the late Dr. Greg Bahnsen when it comes to apologetics.
David - Bethseba, samson - Delila.... And thank you for Gods mercy and grace he understands the concept of "the flesh is weak and the spirit is strong" Judgment belongs to God. But thank you Ravi for all the Bible education and chanelling peoples thinking.
Their arranged marriages leave them feeling unloved and unsatisfied sexually. It’s terrible what the culture does to these people. Makes me soooo angry.
Now let's pray for Ravi Zacharias' Family and the restoration of their lives. Mercy!!!! SATAN. We have become a world of stalkers and the posthumous indignation that this family is suffering is abominable!!! I cannot cast a stone!! LOVE COVERS A MULTITUDE OF SINS ! HELP us all !!

If Mr.Zacharias is not to be judged by the people of Christ, I am afraid you haven't understood your Bible. And we now have abundant evidence of very grievous sins. We may not know 'the whole story' but the 98 percent that we do know is quite enough.

Although this was exposed about Ravi, it did not change how eloquent he was and on point he was. It's sad he was going through this battle, and the women who were involved as well. I was disappointed and sad when I heard the news, but it also taught me that Jesus is the only one who we can trust. God bless you all, and I'm hoping that Ravi got right with God before he passed away.
why wait till the person is dead to expose him?
I think I agree. I’ve been around long enough to see when a person is exposed for their sins and hypocrisy and then they become ashamed and turn from their wicked ways. It’s better to confess your sins in this life than to have to stand before God and give an account. If some people knew about Ravi Z and did nothing...oh my, I would not want to be in his shoes when they stand before God!
Well Stephen ive said the same, however are we to know the goings on behind closed doors, with these people.
yes, whatever is hidden in darkness God is going to reveal in the light whether good or evil. In the last days even the very elect will fall!
Most of what she talked about was on the internet long before he died. Once I read those emails and his response and the fact that he made her sign a NDA I lost all respect for him. This was at least a couple years before he died. www.raviwatch.com/news/story/sex-scandal/. It is one thing to fall it is another to continue to lie and cover it up even after being found out. The Bible is very clear on this point. Prov. 28:13 People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy.
People knew, tried to say something, but to no avail. They weren’t heard, and had to let it go.
The Bible is clear to call out this kind of thing.I feel bad for Ravi's wife.Praying.
I believe his wife had to know... esp with the payout to the first known victim. Horribly sad all around.

It appears that as we approach the last of the last days the Lord is exposing the false teacher's. The scriptures tell us that your sin will find you out...and the word of God is always true.
Luke 12:3
"...what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the rooftops"
Very true
Not so much false teacher, but true teaching alongside terrible sinning.
God is definitely exposing false teachers as well, plus the hypocrites who are living double lives, like Ravi and so many other leaders. ❤️
Ravi's teaching was not false though.
@@RLaraMoore I honestly hadn't listened to him. I would assume that being involved in sexually deviant behavior as he was at the very least he brought a reproach upon the gospel.
Today it is the way of life in church .Church youth outreach , Church christmas Ball , Cell meetings etc . Practice church in your home and go out into the world and preach the Good News .
We should practice our faith like the early Church.
Investigate all of them. Follow the money. Jet owning preachers too. "Because of them the way of truth is spoken evil of." (Paraphrased)

@Living Wine you make some good points. I wanted to give Ravi, the benefit of the doubt. But as more information has come, it appears that sin had become his lifestyle. Although we all sin, sin it should not be a lifestyle. It is something we should actively be fighting. A lot of his behavior was well thought out it appears. I still think he was a wonderful thinker and helped the Christianity. I hope he really repented before he died. But it seems he was pretty calloused already. But who am I to say. This is a sad story. Regardless, Jesus is still on his throne and he will continue to do his work of bringing people to his kingdom. I Praise God for that.
Heartbreaking. May our heart's cry be "Search me, O God and try my heart and see if there be any way of grief (marginal reading in KJV) in me!" Psalm 139

"Grace is not spoiled by the rotten wooden spout it runs through. God spoke by an ass to Balaam, but that did not spoil His words. God can fill the mouths of ravens with food for Elijah and yet the raven is a raven still.

Correct
@@lloydallen1228 thanks
Thank you for this wonderful clarity. The vessel does not validate the message.
With all being said, i really wish he was alive to say his own side of the story. Only God knows the truth about what really happened.
He was alive when one of the victim accused him , but that time they signed a confidentiality contract thats y it never came to light n who knows the same might hv happened if he was alive inorder to protect his precious reputation , i dnt understand why people cannot just accept what he hv done wrong and just move on with it , me too i use to love watching his sermons but i also know that people can fall and we are all sinners only our God is perfect , why is it so hard to admit what he have done , just because he is a christian leader doesn't mean he cannot fall or sin , accept the truth n move on
The RZIM report tells it all..R was a sexual abuser!
. I dont even want to hear his side... disgusting if you still doubt the evidence
No, its not only God who knows the truth. The women he abused and who have come forward, know "what really happened."

It always seemed some of Ravi's stories were just a bit too incredible. Now, I can't help but doubt everything he said. Sad. Just sad.
Funny...you say that. I have watched several of his videos (and they are not short) and yes...to explain an example, he describes a far fetch story that really is fiction but he manages twig it, so it sounds believable. Too good to be true?
It's incredibly awful! He will be held accountable....
Biblically he was on point though, at least

Roys mentions that people are looking at him as an apologist; was he really the best. I was deeply grieved when he spoke at a conference in Aspen; a couple asked if it were God’s will that their seven year old daughter suffered terribly from a medical condition, and his weak reply was that we would see that God was like a doctor with a hypodermic needle, giving us a shot that was painful, but was what we needed. It was a heartless, shallow answer to these grieving people. I’ve felt sad for the wonderful organizers of this conference, who had the very best of intentions.
The simple answer is yes. Nothing happens in this world that God doesn't allow to happen. He could stop everything painful and evil, but he doesn't. We should find peace in the fact that "God works all things together for good to those who believe." Also, as sinners, God is just to allow trials to befall us because as sinners we deserve any suffering in this life that we get, even though this girl does not deserve this affliction more than I do. We truly deserve hell for our rebellion and hate towards God, and it is by the grace of God that we don't get what we deserve as soon as we sin. God sent his Son to live a perfect life and be the perfect sacrifice for the sin of the world, so that anyone who believes God and the testimony of His only begotten Son will have eternal life. Grace to you and peace.
That's awful. Saying she was meant to be sick, rather than cultivating relationships with real Christian healers, if he wasn't going to do it himself. I've seen healings done by Christians, known people to have been healed of cancer by prayer.
It looks like he was just an intellectual, not really a follower if Jesus.
I was devastated, when I heard about his philandering, for a while I had listened to his radio show.
Now I'm over it, it sounds like he never applied what he read in the Bible. I'm not crying for him, that was dumb, and he wasn't what he pretended to be.
Sorry to hear that, I hope that couple found help elsewhere.
You missed his point. Sometimes the pain you go through is the medicine you need.
"Hello my child,

Cursed be the one who trust in man Jer. 17:5
Shalom! So much lessons to be learned from this ... My prayer goes to all the victims of Ravi's disgraceful conduct and ungodly behavior ... May we all find healing and restoration as we process this in the comfort and edification of the Holy Spirit and God's Word.

Everyone has right to defend and justify himself/herself for their act while being alive.
You can't blame someone without proof after their death.
I will be the last to condemn RZ, knowing well two things:
1) there is no absolute evidence of any of these allegations. And each time you hear, “I believe”, “I think”, and so forth; it’s just seems like a cooking up
2) he is dead and gone, and when he was alive, we didn’t hear anything.
Keep your head in the sand.
Why not speak out while Mr. RAVI was alive? Why only now?
A few people were trying to, well before his demise.
His lawyers hid the truth
There were several bloggers who started in 2017. But it took a long time to accept the truth. Too long.
My question exactly. Ravi is dead, it's his family that is hurting. He is not here to give an account, give it a rest. Let the family heal.
Because she liked being touched and love the money she got as bribe and maybe a promise of a hugh sum of money that never came through...now he's dead so no more touch....no more money so therefore greed now revenge
So.... biblereading brings knowledge. But only Holy Spirit brings change and makes you Christlike...walking in unselfish divine power and love.

When I was 18 months old, the courts took me away from my mom and dad saying they were unfit parents. The day I was removed, I landed in a foster home. There was 7 foster kids. Two were girls and the 5 were boys. This foster famly was evil in every way. I dont know when it started, but I was being sexual abused by the foster family only and true son. He was 21 years old and I was 5 years old when I realized somthing was very wrong. When my social worker came by, I told her time after time I was being sexual abused but the evil foster mother named Mary Brown would say that I was making it up. The social worker did nothing. There was no love that that house! I never heard the words? I love you, I believe in you, nothing. If I reached for an apple to eat, my hands were slapped and iI was told to put it back. The old man of the house lived a life as an alcoholic and he died from it. When I was 7, one day i was in my room after be beaten by the buckle of a belt ( that happen on a weekly basis ) I was crying and I was ready to take my own life by hanging myself. Interesting, the radio was playing gospel music. I cried out and said Lord! if you really love me then I need to hear it! Then all of a sudden, the music stop and a voice came from the radio saying, there is a young boy out there and God wans him to know he is deeply loved and the music starting up again. For anyone who attends church, you know that not even the paastor will stop the worship. I jumped up and down and my heart was gald and my tears turn to joy!! There after, my Jesus took me out of that home and put me in a worderful home. Yes, taste the Lord and know he is good. Ravi was someone I looked up to and after hearing his own sexual immorality I started to beg the question? Is Ravi in hell? All I can say is that God is the one who knows. My pain of my yourth is always there but the love of Jesus keeps me togather. Here is the thing about ture salvation, we do sin but then we our convited and we prayer and ask for forgivness. Christians dont practice sin. Another example of what it's like to keep going in your own sin and doing nothing about it? In high school, I had baseball practice for the last cass of the day. So hear we have it, every day I would practice baseball daily. The person of ture faith is the opposite. We sin but we dont practice lawlessness. As we grow in the Lord, sin seems to fade away. Why? because I love Jesus, I dont want to break his heart. I want to love him and people. My past makes it hard for me to understand what it is to love other people? All that said, my God have mercey on Ravi and us and the lost. I dont condone Ravi actions. Please, may we always just trust in our Lord Jesus. If it were not for him? I would not be hear. My God will deal with the man who sexually abused me. God bless all that took the time to read my broken english. My you find rest ubder the wings of the almighty. Isaiah 41: 10.

Why is Ravi s wife and children not questioned ? Instead of asking 4rd 5th parties .....What about the Thompsons? Why are they not interviewed ? Why is the story coming out now ? So what if they were rich people, wasn't Joseph from the Bible s seducer a rich lady ? Why after his death ? Why not b4 death?
Have you seen any comments from Ravi's son? I hurt for him...he is so broken over this same issue that you raise. He states that the family was silenced...they were told not to speak out. Ravi's wife was not questioned but they asked for his cellphones and she turned all of them over to the attorneys. Neither did they question the rest of the family. I do believe Ravi is guilty of something but I cannot understand why he went to the secular courts to sue Lorie Anne instead of seeking counsel with Christians to resolve the matter. The RZIM board did not act in his best interest when they allowed him to reign with no rules. They allowed him to spend with no accountability. They just wanted to keep receiving a paycheck...In my opinion, they were not interested in functioning with integrity, honesty or accountability. The women should have had interviews by the board years ago. Ravi should have repented when the first massage business was closed by the partner. They were both scandalous because they just opened up another one. More allegations arose so the partner said he shut the second one down because of Ravi's bad behavior. I wish we could turn back the hands of time. Ravi started to fraternize with prosperity gospel preachers. The association with Hillsong was a big shock to me. That church is guilty of covering up for a pedophile. Brian Houston's dad molested so many children. Ravi did not contend for the faith when he preached at the Mormon church. He never distinguished between the Mormon Jesus and the Christian Jesus. There were so many red flags. The board did not care as long as the money was flowing. If the family had insisted that the NDA be made public before his death, Ravi would have had pressure to explain his actions and repent.
Ravi's wife and daughter are RZIM board and executives. They initially denied sexual allegations and later approved quarter million dollars with conditions for Thompsons never to talk again.
Why after his death only these things surface? I think Ravi is a master communicator to hide these facts while alive.
It was RZIM board who hired independent investigators to seek the facts. So, these are not third or fourth hand hearsay. They were first hand victims of these horrible sexual acts.
I think it is terrible stewardship of donor's money to use it to fund these ladies.
Whatever it is, the family are hurting and the name of Jesus is disgraced among the unbelievers.
joseph never seduced anyone he was unjustly accused of it just saying
His wife and dau were on the board. Dau was president. Both have since resigned. Entire board needs to resign. The board allowed Ravi to continue in sin. The board now wants transparency. Well start by making public board members.
Precisely
I think Ravi welcomed the cancer. It was his ticket out of here. He could feel things heating up.
He’s really heated up now.
JD only God knows
@@JMD621 Noone is in hell at the moment

In Ravi's own words, "Don't judge a philosophy by its abuse". This doesn't invalidate what he's preached.
It doesn't invalidate what he preached, but it does invalidate his validity as a minister standing in God's name. The kingdom of God is not about winning arguments.
@@politereminder6284 Agreed
@jfgjgy gyjg I understand the sentiment but I don't agree with your wording, ''yeah, the abuse is bad, but the abuser was still right."
What I actually said is more accurately put as, "yeah, the abuse is bad, but the abusers teachings were still right".
One thing is a person, the other is ideas. People fail, ideas are just ideas.
I'm sure there are people who can't separate the two like you are describing, but that's on them. If someone comes out and says "we shouldn't kill people" and then goes and kills people afterwards, it's on you if you now don't want to believe that "we shouldn't kill people" because that person contradicted their original truth afterwards.
By no means do I love what ravi did, in fact I hate it, and I agree it affects christianity as a whole. But you've got to stay objective with everything

@@philipgopal7594 I'm certainly not suggesting to beat a person up after they passed away and can't defend themselves. However, I don't think a person who was abused should have to stay silent just because their abuser has passed away. That's a punishment to the one that was offended against. And they do not deserve that . From what I heard people DID try to bring it up and make allegations when he was alive. But he would threaten them and would use his money, power, and clout to silence it. And the church refused to fully look into the matter. I'm reminded that after Judas died, the apostles did talk about his sin . It's true, only God can judge Ravi Zacharias , as far as where he will spend eternity. That isn't the same as revealing a truth about someone . And facing up to it.
Thank you Child of God. I will not pursue this story again.
There was news floating around but were suprressed coz of power and money. He who has ears let him hear, he who eyes let him see.
And all honesty ravi has been a troubled person since he tried to commit suicide when he was a teenager. He never got the proper help
And, the fact that many professing "Christians" have made an idol out of Ravi Zacharias only further enabled his personal shortcomings.
It is proven to me that's so important to live in the spirit like the apostle Paul said. I remember that i knew ravi on the internet since 2014. Eventhough i see a lot of people admired him, but i feel something suspicious about him. I could never able to wacht the video of his preaching or teaching on the internet. I could never stand more than a view seconds. So i decided just to ignore him since then. And when all of it came up, i then realize why. The Holy Spirit had warn me not to listen to this man, since he was not like that's seen on the internet. Praise the Lord Jesus for His mercy and love...

Sure it appears Ravi had a besetting sin - a problem. But as to his ultimate judgement, my hope is that humans would not play God....
Very will said
“ What orators lack in depth, they make up in length”.
How about exposing organizations with weak oversight of leaders before scandals erupt? Good governance can stop or mitigate bad behavior. Every leader must be subject to elders and supervised closely, no matter what.
I agree wholeheartedly.
Even the elders or oversight committee members have to be chosen properly, not because they have money or power, and not because they are pals with the leader and therefore will do his bidding.
They not only have to be good men, but they must be open to the Holy Spirit showing them ungodly tendencies and secret sins before many are hurt.

My only question, why are these allegations coming out when the guy is dead and cannot defend himself?
Right!
@Zakariya. Why are you asking this??? Did you listen to this interview. Maybe listen to the nearly 1 hour version of it for more information.
Because there are many victims and telling their stories is not only part of their healing, it's acknowledging the sin done to them. God doesn't tell us to sweep sin under the rug if a person has died. No. It has to be brought out in the open and dealt with. Especially if it is deeply disturbing sin within the church. God is about CLEANSING, EXPOSING and BRINGING FORTH TRUTH so many affected can be healed and also...a warning to others ministry leaders who may be going down the same path. ps: These things came out before Ravi passed away. But so many leaders in the church turned a blind eye.
Very true .
Why all this now? Why come out with accusations when the man isn't around to defend himself? This is probably an attack to bring down Ravi's life long commitment to win souls for God. Is this attack working? Apparently! The question is, is it worth it?
Julie Roys
Look in the mirror and see your sins.
A dead man cannot defend himself, wouldn't it have been wiser to 'expose' him when he was alive?
I keep asking the same thing. Whether he is guilty or not, all this seems to be doing is to discredit the gospel message that he brought. He taught a solid scripture.

Only God knows if he confessed and repented.
Yes let’s talk about it. Dear people, do not bring down the man of God for the sin he committed. This just validates that the Bible is true. You look at men in the Bible and see they fell in terrible sin, look at David who committed adultery and was a murderer, what about Solomon who had thousands of wives and Concubines, or Noah who was a drunker, or Paul who was a murderer, Abraham slept with someone who was not his wife and made another child who was not the chosen one and so many more who God used. These are men just like us. Christians why cry Ravi down, instead defend him, not the sin but because he was one of us. You leave nothing for the ungodly. Why take down his messages when they have inspired many, is it no God’s word? My friends understand this is a ploy of the enemy and it came from right in his ministries. Ravi is wearing his crowns in Heaven and did a good job here on earth. Well done to the man of God. Many cant carry the anointing he did. Target him down now, when he cannot defend himself, try to erase him so the word of God cannot travel across the world. You all are ridiculous. God qualified him and he has run his course. Well done.

I would hope that I would repent of those things not because I was called them, but if I did them. Ravi was accused while he was alive. Well before his death. He had plenty of time to repent, admit his guilt, and do the right thing. He did not. Instead, he continued in his ill deeds, hid the truth, and attacked and attempted to silence and destroy those that made accusations against him. There is evidence of his guilt. Plenty of it. He was in possession of it during his lifetime and would not permit anyone to have access to it. They now have it and it's damning. His own ministry and family has acknowledged his guilt. That's not good enough for you? Are you privy to exonerating information that they are not? The man is guilty. He was confronted in life but chose to continue in evil. He had time to repent but literally on his death bed, chose to continue in wickedness and suppress the truth.
Church is full of sinners. Shock horror. If you don't protect yourself against those who are sinning then you are just as bad.
She called out a false prophet. Bible warned that all false prophets are wolves in sheep’s clothing.
It's not because he's a pervert, that he's a criminal, I'm sure the so called victim was paid. Nothing is free.
From the moment I heard Ravi had preached at the Mormon church several years ago I didn't care to hear from him.
He sowed doubt in my heart at the same time. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Yeah, that never made sense at the time or now.
Ravi’s “ministry” should have exposed it. We’re told by Paul to go public in the church with sin that a fellow church member won’t let go of.
Did anyone think about the pain and burned Ravi relive every time he done his sin, knowing what he knows about God and His word. A lot of people take sin for granted and argument why their sin is not the same as Ravi. Anybody that are in argument with Romans 1:24-32 are 100% the same as Ravi. Your desire for your sin is bigger than your fear for God. That is why Ravi even thank God for his sins - trying to convince himself that he is not sinning so that he can enjoy his sin. People that argue Romans1:24-32; Open your eyes and see what God is showing you, that it does not matter how well you know God and His word, you will damage a lot of other people’s live in continue with your own sin. Wake up and repent from your sins and turn away. It is not easy and asks unstopping that the Holy Spirit to help you, begged profoundly for forgiveness and Grace to turn away from your sin. See and accept this free warning and education from God and stop judging Ravi because your sins are not less than Ravi! Your sin is also damage other people “innocents” lives. I thank God for the example of what my sin will become if I ignore Romans 1:24-32…
Thankyou
Yes let’s talk about it. Dear people, do not bring down the man of God for the sin he committed. This just validates that the Bible is true. You look at men in the Bible and see they fell in terrible sin, look at David who committed adultery and was a murderer, what about Solomon who had thousands of wives and Concubines, or Noah who was a drunker, or Paul who was a murderer, Abraham slept with someone who was not his wife and made another child who was not the chosen one and so many more who God used. These are men just like us. Christians why cry Ravi down, instead defend him, not the sin but because he was one of us. You leave nothing for the ungodly. Why take down his messages when they have inspired many, is it no God’s word? My friends understand this is a ploy of the enemy and it came from right in his ministries. Ravi is wearing his crowns in Heaven and did a good job here on earth. Well done to the man of God. Many cant carry the anointing he did. Target him down now, when he cannot defend himself, try to erase him so the word of God cannot travel across the world. You all are ridiculous. God qualified him and he has run his course. Well done.
Let's just focus on supporting the victims!
I’ve learned that the ones who cry out in pain for their sin are too few. Most of them aren’t repentant and if they cry is because they’re exposed.
Actually, teachers come under a stricter judgement (scrutiny, examination) see James 3:1 please
After a person has passed away one can make a hundred stories, but only Jesus christ and his word is the Truth
Yea, ok, had none of this ever come out no one would have questioned his aplogetical skills, but now of course...
Why now when he is no more? What were you thinking then? 🤔 Why you did not expose him when he was alive and kicking?
Come on do your research. They've been trying to expose him since 2017. His ministry surpassed it and covered it up tried to sue people to threaten them to not come out and speak the truth. There's hundreds of photos he owned massage parlors in his testimony is a multiple victims of repeated sexual perversion again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again. At least since 2017 have people been trying to speak out.
Yes, Ravi was a wonderful and brilliant teacher. Such a shame he turned out to be such a fraud!!! But, he is no where near on par with the late Dr. Greg Bahnsen when it comes to apologetics.
I never understood him...too convoluted
@@Cassiehope888 comes from a double-minded man, unstable in ALL his ways...
The accusers are not sinless.
David - Bethseba, samson - Delila.... And thank you for Gods mercy and grace he understands the concept of "the flesh is weak and the spirit is strong" Judgment belongs to God. But thank you Ravi for all the Bible education and chanelling peoples thinking.
Their arranged marriages leave them feeling unloved and unsatisfied sexually. It’s terrible what the culture does to these people. Makes me soooo angry.
This is great interview for defending the victims.
The so called victims are just as guilty give there mobile phones to married man or even E-mails meeting at Spa they opened the door to this

@@craigclose6671 I'd have to agree, Craig. Women need to stop being so gullible, and stand up for what's right! God is watching.....
Totally agree with Jo Powers
Now let's pray for Ravi Zacharias' Family and the restoration of their lives. Mercy!!!! SATAN. We have become a world of stalkers and the posthumous indignation that this family is suffering is abominable!!! I cannot cast a stone!! LOVE COVERS A MULTITUDE OF SINS ! HELP us all !!
Let's pray dor the victims!
Julie I am praying for you,,, to allow continuous guidance from HOLY SPIRIT to search your heart, and that it would be nothing more than to illuminate your walk in accordance to Scripture, and be humble , and Obedient to TRUTH🙏
