Hey guys, were you familiar with Ravi’s ministry? What are your thoughts on all this? 🙏
If you want to support us😊

Shocking Evidences convicting Mrs Thompson.
This is why the latest investigation cannot be trusted because they did not reveal these things. It is not reveal on any news articles and just totally bias to Mrs Thompson who been deceiving us all this time.
Ravi account hack. Did the recently investigation made sure someone did not upload the shocking photo to his account? In an attempt to convict an innocent man who is dead?
Ravi might have done wrong but this is why we need a court hearing cause the evidences below has been censored on youtube. No one is talking about the horrible things Mrs Thompson has done to Ravi. and he deserve a fair Court hearing of what actually took place.
Ms. Thompson found Ravi daughter, and
began asking her intrusive questions about, among other things, Ravi daughter was offended and considered Ms Thompson’s behavior and demeanor to be aggressive and disturbing.
Ms. Thompson repeatedly contacted Ravi. As a result of Ms. Thompson’s repeated messages, Ravi began to consider Ms. Thompson as a friend, in addition to a fan and supporter of RZIM’s mission and his work.
Ravi frequently receives death threats originating from these countries and, further, his electronic devices and online accounts have been the target of many hacking attempts. Additionally, his mobile phone has been taken and briefly held by local authorities on a few occasions when visiting Islamic
countries.
Over the course of the two years following their initial meeting Mrs Thompson attempted to escalate her relationship with Ravi through repeated and persistent BBM messages, e-mails, by sending gifts through the mail, and by traveling from Canada to Georgia on two occasions, but Ravi did not meet her in person.
Mrs Thompson attempted to coax Ravi into an inappropriate online relationship.
Ms. Thompson, at all times without Ravi solicitation, gradually introduced inappropriate topics into conversations with Ravi and then eventually introduced sexual topics. For example, she began expressing her love for Ravi, and then began making sexually suggestive statements.
In December 2015 Ms. Thompson obtained Ravi home address under the guise of sending him a Christmas gift.
By the Nathan Zacharias condemns the Christian community!
Regarding some specific individuals who were once my colleagues, how ‘brave’ you are to aggressively take on a man who can’t even defend himself, as well as attack his grieving family who is far more blindsided and hurt by this situation than you can ever be. And how ‘righteous’ you are to think that we must continually pile on our punishment AFTER he has already faced the ultimate judge. God chose to spare Dad from all this by calling him home when he did. But how ‘virtuous’ of you to insist that you hand out the relentless punishment and humiliation that God saw no place for in dad’s lifetime
Even *if* these allegations are true, there is no doubt that God actively blessed my dad and did so right up until he passed. His impact was only getting greater. So what these individuals are saying - along with any person or organisation that wants to cancel my dad - is that God was wrong to do so, so we must now correct God’s blessing/mistake by erasing my dad and his voice. To that I say, ‘That’s a bold strategy, Cotton, let’s see if it pays off for him.’
“What this whole incident has shown is that Pharisees still run rampant in Christian culture when someone allegedly falls. Its just that now they use laptops instead of stones. They are cruel, and their disgusting rush to plant their self righteous flag in my dad’s shattered legacy betrays the truth about them - ‘for the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.’
“Finally and most importantly, nothing could change how much I love my dad and miss him. I am still proud to be his son.”

Hi brother, praying for your family also.
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.
Let's pray for the all victims and family.
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
U know his brother as a young man impregnated his teenage GF? And Ravi pushed her to get a abortion and Ravis wife’s best friend made the arrangements. Btw during the time it was illegal in Canada. This was 50 years ago. Look it up.
This is definitely a reminder of how important accountability is, no matter who you are.
❤️
@@PaulandMorgan Accountability only works if someone is honest. Time for Christian organizations to set up structures so if the pastor or trusted leader is not trustworthy there are checks and balances in place they cannot get by with bad behavior.
That would not help in this situation. Because the guys traveling with him worked for him so he could just fire them if they questioned him.
Sad sad situation. Just goes to show we can’t put our faith in people. But we should put it in Christ
Amen🙏
Amen
ua-cam.com/video/L14UNjaZJm8/v-deo.html
Sad...but a humble reminder of why we are called to bring our sins into the light and to not shy away from doing so. It’s difficult and scary, but the sooner we can come out of the darkness and cling to Christ, His light will not only expose our sin, but it will begin to heal us.
Amen, so good🙏
I pray that all of the women he used haven't been questioning their faith in God. I hope that they can find healing in Him. This makes me so sad.
🙏
They should totally question
@@jot2386 Their faith in God? Why?
We don't know the truth. Only God knows the truth.
If stuff like this can happen in the Church, imagine what goes on in Government, the entertainment industry & other big organizations, some has already been revealed, a lot is brushed under the rug and a massive amount is still concealed. It seems that whenever someone has a little bit of power & money they always end up exploiting & abusing others. Humanity is suffering from a lack of faith, morals and values.
I hear you🙏
I had very similar thoughts.
Humanity has the same lack of faith and morals it's always had. We just know all the gory details now.
IT'S too bad ....every time we see someone we like who is accomplished and is doing something on an elevated level...we find out that they do something that contradicts who they are supposed to be....and those who wouldn't do such things...never rise to that ''great accomplishments'' level. sad sad indeed ! People whom we can actually trust never seem to become publicly ''successful'.........sad.
No Christian personally needs millions of dollars. Period. Christian musician Rich Mullins (who passed away in the 90's) only allotted himself an annual income of $60,000 of his millions of dollars. This was the amount a single person (he was not married) could comfortably live off of at the time.
Love that point, Paul, about how majority of our quiet time should be spent in the Word and not only listening to people speaking about the Word. Agree wholeheartedly!
Yes!🙏
I like your reasoning. We've been listening too long to preachers talking
ABOUT Christ !....while they do their little dirt. and we can't get at it because it is their business and if we speak...we are told we are judging...AAAAND.....WHAT ABOUT OUR OWN SIN????????? (so...what is your question???)
Paul and Morgan, please consider this advice that is from a devout Christian:
The problem isn't being alone with women. Making a rule that you can never be alone with a woman is unrealistic and not practical, not to mention demeaning to men because it sends the message that men in general can't control themselves. Also, as a woman, if I was told that a man had to have a chaperone when being in a room with me because he cant be alone with me, I'd be terrified of this man. Can he not control himself around me? Does he have the urge to rape me?
Millions of men can control themselves and have never even had the desire to abuse a woman when he was alone with her. If you do have that problem,visit a therapist as that is not normal. The REAL problem is making the choice to abuse women.
Also, the accountability method doesn't work either in situations of sexual abuse because the accountability method requires the person to tell the truth to their accountability partner. Most sexual predators, like Ravi, will not be honest and they will instead lie about what they have done.
The change has to happen with church/organization policies. RZIM not only apologized for not investigating Ravi sooner and dismissing allegations because Ravi told them to, but they are also actively making changes and actually hired professionals to observe their organization to find out what went wrong and help them form new policies preventing abuse. I hope they change their organization name, too. Having your organization named after a confirmed sexual predator is really bad.
For anyone who's interested, Mike Winger did an awesome review and "discussion" of the Ravi scandal, and how we should react to it:
ua-cam.com/video/PcWeZS3cnNo/v-deo.html
This!!!
Love Mike Winger!!!
Thank you for this comment - I'm so glad that the organisation is responding this way.
It was almost two hours and I watched the whole thing. Mike was right on, passionate, and transparent. It is not only the being alone with women that is the issue, but the appearance of impropriety for those in the church, including those more vulnerable to stumble, as well as opportunity for inappropriate attachments to form, not that they absolutely will.
My only contention with saying that the problem is not that men cannot be alone in a room with a woman is that the Word of God does tell us to avoid even the appearance of evil. Additionally, Jesus told us that if one lusts after another in their heart, then that is adulterous.
A man can be alone with a woman and not lust after her, and not give an appearance of evil occurring. But why would he be alone with a woman in a non-medical context? (I’m specifically having in mind a married man). Even if nothing arises out of the situation, and their spouses even know they were alone with a person of the opposite sex, it’s just suspicious, especially in this world of technology where you can call, text, email, and video conference rather than meet face-to-face.
So, just saying, I agree that the problem is not that a man cannot be alone with a woman, but I just wonder what would warrant such a meeting if not some desire for privacy/secrecy? …
If anything, that should teach us to not "rate" men of God based on how or where their ministry takes place, or how flashy they are. Only God truly knows these men's heart, it is not a matter of who preaches to what group of people. Anyway, praying for Ravi's family and the victims 🙏😩
🙏
No one knows anyone heart only God he has time to repent pray for the family make sure before you judge you don’t fall in the pit it’s hurts when you see things but pray for the family and victims stop hurting the family and church family make sure you never fall we all sin the only differences is we are not in the public eye this is for the couple God bless you all we must not quick to judge leave all judgment to God pray stop making things worse
So disturbing and disgusting. What bothers me is it seems that he had enablers. When he was first accused, nobody took it seriously. I used to respect him. The respect quickly crumbled
🙏
But I still respect him for his contribution in bringing thousands coloser to Christ,
He was a true inspiration for me because I've always wanted to learn how to defend the faith. It saddens me that popular Chrisitians continue falling so hard because all I want is for us to represent Christ the right way so the world doesnt use trivial (yet valid) excuses to dismiss Him.
🙏🙏
Yes, we have to remember that only Jesus was without sin. To stop placing our faith in fallen man. That is exactly why Jesus is the only remedy for sin. And our complete trust and loyalty should only be put in him. Man will definitely fall short.
I had never even heard of what Ravi did until now. I am completely shocked and disgusted. He was one of my favorite preachers, I am extremely disappointed. What hurts me the most is what this will do to his congregation. This type of scandal makes christians look really bad. This type of scandal makes people lose trust in christianity. This is the type of scandal that makes new christians back away from God. Christians especially leaders are held at a higher standard for this exact reason. We need to be better and not put our trust in any man but in God almighty.
🙏
I am in shock as well. I just heard this, I can't keep my mouth close.. ooh mannnn
If we follow Jesus ALONE nothing will steal your believe. Christianity doesn't save, salvation is personal relationships with Jesus Christ ALONE!!!!! Jesus is the ONLY way not Ravi, not Buda, not the pope, not Muhammad. Only Jesus.
Hebrews 12:2 ""Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith"
Thank you. The message, especially at the end of the video to keep your faith in God, is spot on and exactly right. Because men, especially leaders fall. We've seen this before. It's nothing new. But, this is why it's important to have our own connection to the Father. Also, it's important to be PRAYING for our leaders. Just as they pray for us to stay on the path of righteousness and for strength against the enemy and sin, it's important that we pray the same for them. They, too, are still in the flesh. God bless y'all!
Amen, right on🙏
This is the first time I am hearing of this scandal and I am shocked and battling to believe it! My mom listens to Ravi's preaches at least once a week. I used to think of him as such an inspiring, incredibly intellectual and moral man. I cried when I watched his memorial, and heard the things his daughter and wife said about him. I cannot fathom how he could have displayed to the public such a different man to the one he was behind doors.
It is hard to comprehend🙏
"But *evil* people and *impostors* will proceed from bad to worse, *deceiving* and being deceived." -- 2 Timothy 3:13
Someone once said...''....all great men...are bad men...!!
This has been so heavy on me. I know that sin is always crouching at the door and that no man or woman is perfect, but I feel so overwhelmed with modern day church.
It's just heartbreaking! Smh 😓
🙏🙏
It's Godly grief meant to lead us to repentance. Let's all pray and really ask ourselves honestly why this keeps happening.
Since you are overwhelmed.....please consider calling the organized ''church'' by another word ?......like CHUCH instead of CHURCH...why???? Because the 'R'' needs to be taken out of the word '''church'' because the ''R'' in the word ''church'' stands for Righteousness....and since there is none.....call it ''chuch''. The ''chuch'' ain't ''right'' !
(thats another ''R'' word that's missing !)
This whole thing is so heartbreaking! I pray Ravi’s actions did not dissuade those women from having a relationship with Jesus.
🙏🙏
Several ladies, including Mrs. Thompson, report struggling deeply with their faith. It's devastating.
This destroys everything he ever said or did
@@HMMELD Many of his arguments for Jesus' Deity, the Gospel, and many others would still strongly hold up to scrutiny, despite his personal criminality. The message is sturdy. But I doubt I'd listen to him again. There are other messengers that can bring people the Truth, with far less hypocrisy.
@@megalopolis2015 He justified it by saying that many people in the bible had more than one wife. I'm sure he had other things from the bible to excuse it. The real problem is god who did so many despicable, disgusting things in the OT that makes Ravi look like a fairy-tale.
This is a great video! I was so sad to hear about the scandal, but I think your analysis of the situation is exactly right. I've been super convicted by the knowledge that all my sins are visible to God even if other people don't know about them. It's encouraging to me to remember that if the Spirit lives in my heart, God will help me defeat the sin in my life, because Christ has already died to save me from every sin. I can't possibly stray out of reach of God's forgiveness!
Amen!
😊
I appreciate you talking about this. Never knew this happened.
🙂
I didn't know about this until right now and my husband loved his ministry, it's really sad to see someone fall like this but we are all still sinners and we have to be vigilant about potential stumbling blocks in our life.
Unfortunately finding genuine teachers and genuine fellowships these days is like gold dust
Well can people look at you and say your the real deal ?
When I heard about this it was a few months ago, I'd listened to Ravi nearly every Sunday morning on BBN for years until they stopped playing his messages. Sometimes I didn't want to listen to him because his messages were so convicting but then to hear this? It made me suddenly wonder about every man in my life and every man I listen to, this same sort of thing even happened with a former pastor of mine and the same thoughts went through my head then. So much truth coming out of their mouths and yet so much evil within the heart. Through this though, knowing now what was in his heart, it is further evidence that even through an ungodly man God's promise that His Word will not return to Him void is not forgotten. Even through ungodly man, God's unfailing faithfulness is seen and can be remembered. Thanks for touching on this I had not heard anymore about it, I was kind of not wanting to.
🙏🙏
We need more deliverance in church's today, We forget our fight is against principalities, powers, aand rulers of the darkness.
Deliverance in what way?
🙏
Amen! So many churches are sleeping, where no one is doing spiritual warfare, it's really heartbreaking. And Satan is laughing because he's captured them and they don't even have a clue. SMH
I do hope he repented
and I’m praying for his wife how she may feel
must be a terrible 😢
🙏🙏
I think now we need to help the victims and survivors in any way we can.
Exactly. We need to realize that the women he used as 'prostitutes"( who were not necessarily in that business) were not being shown who Jesus is AT ALL.Shameful.Double minded hypocrisy. So it could leave them very confused.
I mean, I can appreciate that you think these things are constantly swept under the rug because they're trying to protect christians. That's such a sweet and wholesome take. Unfortunately, I think the real answer is money. Dude is getting massages in Thailand and no one has any idea that something shady was going on? Not buying it. Not buying it for a second. They all chose to look the other way to keep the money rolling in and the engine driving forward.
Appreciate the perspective
I think he did legitimately have a herniated disk in his back, which would give a reasonable cover story for massages. But yes, I agree, there must have been signs that people ignored.
@@theTavis01 a few people tried to speak up...they were concerned...if anything because of how it may "appear" to others on the outside...and when this was brought up to Ravi, he became agitated and ostracized those people in the ministry and things between them and Ravi never fully recovered.
Woah. I had no clue about any of this 😳
Hey Courtney! Yeah, so sad😔
NO, NOT really, The real rabbit hole is deeper than you think. He tried to practise tthe old testament in the new. They all agreed to marry him as his secret wives but when they did not get what they wanted they start shouting wolf ha ha ha. Naughty girls and Naughty Ravi , however none of that secret marriage agreement is illegal.
same until now
I watch Paul and morgan channel, but I can't really agree them because I'm alatino Catholic we believe totally different like I pray the rosary 🙏 they don't we have the pope they don't by the way the Catholic religion was the first left by Jesus Christ.

@@captainobvious2435 Rape and adultery... is not sin?? Read 1st Timothy 3. I don’t look at that passage and say to myself “That’s Ravi!”... I see a man who immensely violated that passage and became a disgrace to Christianity. How can you condone his behavior? What about 1 Corinthians 7:1-4? How does this passage give anyone permission to sleep around, let alone rape people? Also, God never approved of concubines. It was a cultural thing, and cultural things do not always line up with the ways of God.

Yes🙏
If you guys are looking for prominent Christian voices speaking out about this you should watch Mike Winger’s video on this. Very well spoken and very powerful!
😊
Amen! He did that video so well.
Sooner or later everything will come to light. That's why I'm just straight up with everything.
The thing that mostly bothered me was how he brought and used God to his gain. I was guilty of that years ago. I never understood how he couldn't repent. Shows you can be as smart as you want to be but your heart is what really matters.
🙏
What's important to learn from this is that there's no way to deny now that all men are capable of sexual deviancy, immorality and violence. If this woman had said 'okay well I need another woman in the room with me' she would have been laughed at by everyone. Women have to keep ourselves safe from all men because there's no way to know if we're safe around them, regardless of their position in the world and how respected they are in the community. It's why we fear going out alone after dark almost anywhere in the world, and men don't fear women in the same way and are not told 'women need porn and prostitution as an outlet for their urges'. People in the anti-trafficking movement, particularly Ravi's daughter know that it could all end tomorrow if men stopped buying girls and women for sex and that we're at the mercy of johns, but most of the people who want to end sexual violence and get to the root of it are feminists, who have been trying to end sexual violence for forever (Dworkin, Janice Raymond, Julie Bindel, etc.), but no one wants to associate themselves with feminists.
Also one last thing, sexual assualt also happens to men as well. It's a sad thing to happen to anyone. Period!
I am sure there are people out there still living a double life and preaching the word of God.
The 2 top reasons many fall from grace is:
1. Sex
2. Money
Seek help, confess and pray about your weakness, and don't hide it too long. God love you, but hate sin.
🙂
Morgan should get out more. Every Christian in the universe has made a UA-cam response about the Ravi Zacharias situation
I just watched this. She said "big names" and those close to Ravi should make statements.
The news about him is circulating even among the Christians here in the Philippines. I realized after knowing all the facts that it is very tempting to verbally attack the apologist, especially when you see how secretive and manipulative he is. And why i think it's tempting? Because it is so easy to condemn someone when no one knows every lustful thought you had in your mind. Again I am not tolerating his sin and I find it disturbing and disappointing to the point that I feel hurt for his victims. But when we express our indignation let's examine our hearts if this is out of concern for those who were hurt or due to a tendency to feel spiritually superior.
Appreciate the comment
I appreciate your deliverance of this sad situation and agree, that it would be a live saving situation for RZ if he repented in the end. Only God judges our eternal outcome.
🙏
Wish you would've linked to Mike Winger's video
In some ways Ravi was the "biggest gun" Satan had to take down. Feel so sorry for his daughter whose ministry was about helping sexually abused victims and she now knows her father was one of the biggest abusers out there and even used ministry funds to continue the abuse of women. How ironic - not to mention a level of evil I could never have imagined. I saw Ravi several times - here and in the UK. I would never have guessed the depth of depravity that was going on in his mind. I was so distracted by his obvious intelligence.
I think maybe her daugther had an unconscious intuition about what her father was doing thats why she felt pulled to help those victims.
I think what her father did should not discredit her, she may be doing a wonderfull job and be an honest good person.
It would be unfair and sad if her job gets afected by what her dad did.
@@YFL.111 What her dad did is not a reflection on her but it will affect her position. The organization has stopped taking any donations to examine what went wrong. They will have to rename the organization and whether or not people will feel comfortable with someone named Zacharias at the helm. It's hard to believe that she did not have some inkling but we are not programmed to look for psychopaths. We really like to believe the best about those we care about. I'm sure she will stay involved in this kind of ministry in some way but it may look very different. If anything, she probably feels more motivated than ever.
When it all came out, I laughed out loud once reading that he had back issues and needed massage therapists. If you have a bad back you need a chiropractor.
😔
Not necessarily. Many massage therapists are certified chiropractors who work with both spinal and muscle issues. Very sad situation either way though.
Eeh yeah I wouldn't suspect just based on that. Massage therapy is legit, and some people are skeptical of chiropractors-which I think is valid, there's been sketchy stuff there and there's real risk; people have gotten strokes from botched adjustments. I say this as someone who literally went to a chiro two days ago. So I don't think that that all on its own should arouse suspicion. In any case, there was certainly plenty of other stuff going on, and more questions should've been asked.
@Laoshi J Not all laughs are lighthearted or joyful, and everyone deals with shocking and heavy things differently. Give her the benefit of the doubt here, there's no reason to assume it was inappropriate in that way.
No, my grandma does need massage therapy for her back and neck very often. It works better for some people specially if your body is fragile.
Man looks at appearance but the Lord looks at the heart♥️
We have to judge what pastors are saying and their actions against the bible, but ultimately it is discernment that will lead you correctly. I was going to hear him speak at the Passion 2020 conference but I was sick that day. Well I’m glad I was. May the ones affected experience healing and a deeper understanding of God through this hard season.
Thanks for sharing❤️
Philippians 1:15-18 came to mind... where Paul is saying some preach the gospel out of envy and strife, with selfish ambition, not sincerely. But that whether their motives are good or evil, Paul rejoiced that Christ is preached.
Also I recall Jesus saying they should do what the Pharisees teach but do not copy their behavior. Matthew 23:1-3
Appreciate the comment 🙏
Yes Jesus was extremely critical of predators like Ravi. As his followers I believe we need to pray for that spirit to come back into our church so that this type of thing will stop.
I love how you guys were so sensitive through this topic and just displaying the facts. It’s so well done and thought out. Praying you guys continue and that the enemy would never silence your mouths!
Keep speaking ♥️
Aww thank you, Samara❤️
This Ravi scandal is a wake-up call to all Christians who still believe that Jesus was sinless. We know much more about Ravi then we could ever know about a story told by a man who had a vision of a man called Jesus.
It always baffles me when a prominent Christian apologetic commits sinful behaviour, people say oh they were never a real true Christian.
It’s like good and evil. All good is God and evil is Satan. Win-win. Ravi is your man now own it.
This is sooo heartbreaking 💔💔 I was JUST watching his videos the other day. And had so much respect for him and his words, the man knew the Bible for sure.. but The Lords mercies are beautiful and incredible.. it’s crazy.
🙏
But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
1 Corinthians 9:27 KJV
I have to make sure I'm doing what's right I have to discipline my body thank God I have godly people in my life that'll correct me you got to train your body you got to make sure you stay on the right track make sure your read your Bible I'm not the best reader but I try
Something I really need to work on his listening I'm not the best listener and God has humbled me I'm kind of jittery I don't want to stay still for a long but I feel like God is really trying to Humble me with that and I praise him for it
🙏
Amen. Self-control is one fruit (result, proof) of having God's Holy Spirit in our lives. Galatians 5:22, 23.
And so is love. A man who loves others will not manipulate and abuse them to fulfill his own lustful desires.
The way Ravi spoke.. with such conviction and passion and with so much sincerety it seemed, but really living a life contrary to what he was preaching is just mind blowing. I wonder if somewhere along the way he got caught up in his own intellectual ability and way of speaking maybe through pride that he became blinded and deceived himself. I sincerely pray that he genuinely repented in his heart before he passed away because I don't wish anyone to go to hell and even though his personal life didn't line up with his preaching, he still preached the Word of God and many were drawn to Jesus through him.
Amen, appreciate the insight
Thanks for the video. There was a man in our Church fell. He was a leader of our kids club and it was so sad to watch it was so shocking. I did shake us a little bit. Sadly it has been three years and he still hasn't repented. You guys are doing g a fantastic job on your channel love your videos
🙏
We got to remember to always put all our faith and trust in God in Jesus' name. Not in man. Psalm 118:8.
On a side note, good advice there by you guys too. Keep it up.
Amen😊🙏
Nothing to figure 😕 out- what you do in secret shall be shouted on the rooftops

He simply learned your religion and then sold it back to you.
God bless you beloved.

I was super unaware of this specific situation, but sadly, I am not surprised. I will be honest about this, I have been a victim of harassment happening within my church. These situations need to be dealt with in a much more pressing way than they often are. My heart goes out to all those affected xoxo
Yes this situations are many times simply covered, or not taken seriously specially in Spain (where I am from) with a catholic church which nobody dares to question.
This has to change everywhere in the world, and I feel mybe some things has to change to in religion like...
Encouraging people to get therapy, imstead of simply judging so harshly everything because I feel like that maybe some mam wouldnt become sexual predators on the first place.
I am very sorry it happened to you 🙏
🙏
I just want to thank you guys so much for all the work you put into your videos, doing the research, and speaking on tough stuff like this for us! I enjoy listening to you guys so much! 🤗❤
Aww you’re welcome, Anita❤️
I honestly never really listened to Ravi. There are lots of teachers out there that talk and talk and talk and I never hear the Holy Spirit in their words. There are others like Alistair Begg, David Jeremiah... lots of guys that are probably solid, but again, it's just like devoid of God's truth. It's weird. I don't want to say that anyone else is bad or not, I just do not listen to them very often. (Alistair's accent also drives me crazy.) I'm struggling a bit with my own church right now, honestly. Shall see if that means anything. Looking for that fruit. But yeah, not impressed with the responses. Just a lot of avoidance and distraction, or trying to get me to change my mind. Not good!
🙏
Matt. 7:22-23 "Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
🙏
thanks for this Paul and Morgan. I am really broken hearted, many of us are, but you spoke the truth without filter and boldness yet still are able to point us to what truly matters who is Christ who truly will never fail us.
❤️
My experience is that leaders don't speak up because of situations in their own lives.
🙏
This didn't happen to BILLY GRAHAM. because he did the right thing
😊
Agreed!!! Love Evangelist Billy Graham!
That we know of. I hope it never happened.
I looked up to this guy am super shocked. This really scares me. God has called to ministry but every time I see such great men fall I really get scared I don't want to end up there.
I think what am going to do is stop making pastors my idols
Bless you for your heart to stay faithful ❤️
Keep praying and above all be honest - with yourself most of all,even though it hurts. There's nothing you can bring to God that he doesn't know already anyway, so why not acknowledge it to yourself. With the knowledge that since God loves you with all the knowledge of you that he has - then you should be bold to love yourself too! Not to stay the same if there are things you don't like, but to let God love you into healing.
🙏
Thanks for the video guys. Me and my friend actually had a long conversation about Ravi’s actions and how we should react as Christians.
🙏🙏
This sounds so much like the CORPORATE BUSINESS World. You can not question leadership or the leaders family.
I am 59 and listen to a variety of Christian content creators to gauge the thoughts and attitudes of other Christians. If you read this take no offense. Offense builds a fence that keeps us from growing and blocks our continued Christian growth. Ravis problem was not that he made a bad choice as to who gave him a massage. The depth of sin he participated in was one of a person who had given himself to a heavier level of sin. He traveled to Thailand for sexual escapades. Even the secular media knows that Thailand has a super dark sexual sin. The media has reported that it is so bad there are some who promote a sexual tourism with kids. Very disgusting. It was discovered that Ravi would tell his victims that they were HIS REWARD because he was a good Christian. This type of behavior is deeper than a simple mistake. Psalm 1 describes the progress to ingrained all consuming sin. DO not WALK in the counsel of the Ungodly, nor STAND in the path of sinners, nor SIT in the seat of the scornful. They first Walked in the counsel of the ungodly. They talked about it, thought about it and they soaked in the seeds of sin. Eye gate, ear gate open to this. Counsel is other people thoughts and words. Do not STAND in the path. Path suggests a well walked planned area. A path is created by people taking the same route. If you are standing in that path it is progressively capturing too much of your attention. Finnally he SITS in the Seat of the scoffer/scornful. Sitting indicates they have made themselves comfortable with the sin they endulge in. They are captivated with their sin which ultimately makes them into a captive. Notice the progress, they are WALKING, then they STAND bo longer moving, then they SIT, no more progress. Sitting water become stagnant and breeds a foul smell, no flow no life. The thing even more sad was that the victims were further victimized by other Christians. So very sad.
Appreciate the comment
I am astounded that his massages went unsupervised and unchaperoned. That is one of the the most potentially volatile, tempting situations to put a man in modern times. I get it, but wow...it seems so naive. Every ministry needs to learn from this.
🙏
God is revealing many evils within our country, our leadership, our churches, and more in this hour. That which has been hidden below the surface, deep in the muck and mire, is now being exposed to the light.
Great words of wisdom in here, thanks for sharing fam.
😊🙏
I never listened to the guy, but it's so sad that this happened and that there are still more people like him out there ☹️
Yeah it is😔

@@marcusrogers5051 It is great you want to help those children. But it is absolutely manipulative that you copy and paste this randomly in comment sections and being named as Paul and Morgan. Stop that.
This just goes to show that we should never idolize anyone matter how godly they can be. These Priests and Preachers, at the end of the day they are all prone to falling short of Gods glory. We must continue to pray for the leaders of our Church that they may be protected from the evil of lust and any form of evil, that they may spread Gods word with purity and sincereity, and these alone.
🙏🙏
This broke my heart when it came to light. Just goes to show that all that we do outward for show in support of Christ is for naught if we are not cultivating our own personal relationships with the Lord and calling out our sin. Literally heartbreaking. This and Carl Lentz. Honestly just scary to know that this can happen, but also as humans we are imperfect, fall into truly heartbreaking sin.
So true🙏
I may disagree with paul and morgan, but this was an amazing video! thank you for not being one of those people who still don't want to believe the victims that came forward! God bless.
There are no victims, all consenting adults and just as guilty.
@@futile-evenings I tend to agree with that at least to some degree. Like the wife that sent nudes, she definitely bears some personal responsibility for doing that.
I really like that last thought Morgan! It’s super important to have the guts to call it out. If nothing is done after that, at least you’ve done what you can and your heart is clean 🙏🏻
🙏❤️
You two did such a great job with this video!! I love your guy's channel, your confidence and boldness for Christ & talking about controversial topics!!
Aww thanks so much, Alyssa!

That was sad to hear about. I really liked Ravi Zacharias' books and his radio show. I am sorry that he did such terrible things to these women. As someone who has been sexually assaulted and kept it a secret for 4 1/2 years. I can't imagine how these women felt. I do wish that he would have just been honest and admitted what he had done while he was still alive.
🙏
This kind of situation reminds me of this Bible verses.
Philippians 1:15-18
[15]Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill:
[16]The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains;
[17]but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.
[18]What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.
Christ should be our main focus not a person.
God bless you and heal your heart and renew a new spirit in you, in Jesus mighty name I pray. Amen. 🙌🏻🔥☦️❤️🕊️
I have a friend whose family immigrated from India when he was a kid and grew up in a strictly Hindu family. He came to Christ a couple years ago and he enjoyed listening to Ravi Zacharias. I felt like something was off about him for awhile before he died, but nonetheless it is still shocking news for my friend who looked up to him.
God bless you beloved.

Reminder that God is not to be mocked..we may hide our sins from men, but the Lord sees all..and He is Holy, He won’t let this sort of action stand us a testimony for His church. Let’s continue to look at Jesus, but not men!
🙏
I listened to Ravi several times and actually attended one of his lectures so this breaks my heart but Luke 12:2-3 says everything will come to light and nothing is hidden.
Secondly, here is what I think is happening.
In the book of Revelation there are letters to seven churches and each letter ends with the phrase “he who has an ear let him hear what the spirit is saying”.
This means those letters were for every church at all times to anyone who would listen. I know there are those that think those letters are historical churches but that phrase to me denotes otherwise.
Thirdly, the introduction of the letters begins with the phrase “to the angels of the seven churches”. The word Angels is translated as “messengers” ie pastors, priests etc.
Revelation is an epistle that has been ignored by pastors (messengers) to teach these letters in Sunday services.
I believe God is dealing with exposing the Angels (pastors) of the churches as He prepares for His return.
His bride is to be without spot, blemish or wrinkle and it’s laundry time for the church.
Especially the American church that is filled with false Christ’s and false doctrine.
God bless you beloved.

I´m really glad that someone is talking about this! Good video.
🙂
Thanks for talking about this. I heard this from my pastor this past Sunday and I was not familiar with this pastor.
🙏
So can we leave the singing to Morgan? 😆😃 I’m just kidding! I’m just kidding...but kinda not! 🤪😂
😎
I too, have been deeply troubled by this since I first heard of it in December. I had to stop listening to the accounts of his actions and ignore it for a while. This is the first time I have watched anyone talking about it since then. I agree with Paul. My hope is that he realized the gravity of sin as he lay dying . I hope he repented . My dad said some people will enter the kingdom ... "By fire. I think the reference for this is in Corinthians 1or 2.
Anyway I agree 100% with everything you both said here. Thank you for your ministry. I pray that God protect you and keep you both accountable too. What you do here requires it. We have got to pray for our Pastor's and other spiritual leaders in this way. Finally, pray for His wife and daughters, as well as all those that were close to him
🙏
Thank you for the way you handled this. It speaks volumes of your character.
🙏
what can destroy a ministry are the 3 Fs..Fame, Fortune Females...

here to bump with a comment and to say keep at it you two.
Thank you! ❤️
You are glowing sister. Thank you Paul and Morgan for your content. It does my heart good seeing 2 young people on fire for God xx
❤️
Not only was this a balanced and biblical perspective on such a heinous sin, but Morgan's top is sooo super cute!
Haha thank you😊
As a former papist, best way to describe "philosophy" => fool-sophy. So called "Christian philosophy" is an oxymoron! Holy Spirit who teaches me all things is more than capable of what philosophers are trying to achieve thru philosophy! Jesus Christ says : “I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.” {Rev. 2:20} “When men strive together with one another, and the wife of the one draws near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him who strikes him, and puts forth her hand and takes him by the secret parts, then you shall cut off her hand. Your eye shall not pity.” {Deut. 20:11-12}
Deut. 20:11-12, placed immediately after instructions about levirate marriage, many bible scholars see Deuteronomy 25:11-12 pertains to capacity of a man to produce offspring. In terms of New Covenant I see this as Spiritual birth. Papists’ philosophy/theology sterilizes you spiritually from being able to cause spiritual birth like Paul says he was able to do. (Corinthians 4:15) God is angry about this, He says about Jezebel “And I will kill her children with pestilence; and all the churches will know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.” {Revelation 2:23}
This is my first time hearing about this, I was shocked when I heard what came out, but then again I’m no shocked about what came out; it goes to show you this man is a human being, that makes mistakes; what he did was wrong... he shouldn’t have done what he did. My pastor once said in a sermon, when I was younger never put yourself in man; I remember that like it was yesterday. I agree with you Morgan, when you said not to let what happened to this man stop your faith walk; I don’t put my trust in man; I put my trust and faith in God; thank you for sharing this video; it is very eye opening
Nevertheless, you should be shocked and disgusted. A teacher of the Gospel will be held to a higher standard. I had no idea he had no accountability
@@dorothyanderson8124 I agree with you

Unbelievable TRUST NO ONE!
My prayers go out to anyone who has ever been manipulated or abused by church leaders. I hope that this situation does not bring about doubt, or post-traumatic responses. God is still Holy, and He is still a good good father. I worry about how many will fall away from the faith because of this situation. The devil doesn't just attack one person, but he uses that person's fallen state to hurt the walk of others they come into contact with. I am so sad because this scandal will be some people's first exposure to Christianity and it will be a stumbling block to so many who are already having a hard time trusting church leadership. We need to PRAY, PRAY, PRAY.
I have learned a thing or two from Ravi--once I win an argument with his words actually more than once, using some of his testimonies. As a teacher I respect him and give him the benefit of the doubt for I have not interviewed the witnesses. I have seen people for various reasons for fame and for game and for pride lies and hurting people. hard working reputation of a man. Regarding of his credentials he was more than qualified to teach in Oxford and Cambridge Universities. Since I have not spoken or I have heard any of the witnesses and it cause examination and get to hear their voice see their faces, I choose to stand with Ravi and trust that he was a man of integrity and will continue to pray for him and his ministry and his family and his lovely daughter that I that she's hurt betterly. I have heard or brokenness from our words from our voice that came from depth of her heart from a depth of her being. Go love for another.
God bless you beloved.

I did donated through a different channel to a kid in Nigeria. Thank you for your prayers. I did through some one I knew. Lord willing it would reach some one in need. Thank you, your request did not go unanswered. A child will with leukemia would receive a dash of help from the donation I made. Thank you for your prayers.
One thing I really appreciate about Billy Graham is he had a code where he didn't allow himself to be around other women unless his wife was there. I think that creates integrity and accountability.
What a beautiful, eloquent, nice, and kind-hearted couple!
❤️
By the way Daniel Kolenda did speak out about that very recently! He has a UA-cam channel. 🙌🏼
"If a leader is not willing to hear criticisms and concerns and instead they get inflammatory and go off on the people bringing it, that is a red flag." ..... ummmm remind me again why you love Trump?
lol
Just hearing about this. He seemed really genuine and i had a lot respect for him. This is really sad.. Thank you for your thoughts on this!
Thank you for speaking out on this issue
I have many thoughts and feeling surrounding this. Many people in the Church are speaking out about this downfall. Some of my favorites include David Wood (who speaks on his own imperfections, as well), Alisa Childers, Melissa Dougherty, Michael Ramsden--Director of RZIM--on his Twitter feed (RZIM's website also had a detailed announcement and a link to the interim report from Martin and Miller), and Mike Winger, who thoroughly read the interim and final reports (as did I) and spoke out extremely strongly about distancing ourselves as the Body from this false speaker. He put his books authored by Zacharias in the trash.
I am of a similar mindset as these people. While I am still in shock too much to throw his books away for now, I know I won't be able to read them again, because the words are a clanging cymbal, signifying nothing. They are words of a gifted story-weaver, who used the Gifts God gave him to victimize young women, defile his marital bed, and leave his ministry in ruins. Mike points out that Ravi was NOT like David (as you guys also noticed), because David was repentant and brought his shame to the Lord, while Ravi avoided the Lord's gaze. Even the 2017 allegations didn't sway my respect for the man, because his forked tongue adequately explained it away as a couple habitually seeking monetary gain, which certainly seemed right based on the evidence available to the public at that time. I was completely fooled. However, since RZIM commissioned the investigation from an independent law firm, who collaborated with a separate independent private investigative service, that is when these young women from all over the world were discovered, people who mostly did not know each other, let alone of each other, who all told basically the same type of story, Ravi's Modus Operandi. He had affairs, emotional, cyber, and physical, but he was primarily a sexual predator. He used his language gifts to befriend several of these ladies over long periods of time, find out their weaknesses, then offer his generosity in those instances, eventually calling in the debt. He used RZIM funds in a separate account for this purpose.
I even question the validity of the beginning of his faith, as we only have his word on the matter that I am aware of. Has anyone met the man that supposedly gave Ravi his first Bible? Has anyone ever spoken with Ravi's mother, who spoke poor English, about having read the Bible to him on his "bed of suicide"? If someone is living a lie, then it's natural to suspect that their whole life is a lie. I pray that he somehow had repentance in the end. Only God knows.
The main thing I am grateful for is not only that the Truth is out about this (some of it, at any rate), but that my faith is in no way shaken, because my hope is in the Lord. I long to not be a hypocrite as Ravi was in any form, so I am pressing on to complete my album, which will hopefully help someone and glorify God.
Please keep praying for his family, the numerous victims, and the shattered RZIM team, who, after a little while and the smoke has cleared, I may well be called on to give to again.
