      @anessahamilton9279 for Robert's family, Gateway, and the grandkids.....a very minute/small/insignificant mention of the "so called young lady" who was 12 years old when she was sexually assaulted by a 21 year old man....continuing until she was 16 or had just turned 17. Yeah, his son-in-law thought he was doing damage control.....no mention of worth noting for the victim....a 12 year old girl.

It was very obvious that the SIL meant the girl, Cindy and there may be others as I highly doubt she was the only victim of RM.

      @FaytheInGod I don't think I said "condoning." I think I said he (the son-in-law) was doing damage control.
      The victim, a 12 year old little girl, is the victim of an act by RM.
      The son-in-law laid out a list of those hurt (victims) by this coming to light. RM is responsible for the hurt on his wife, his kids & their spouses, the grandkids, Gateway Church, and the vendors.....damage control in a public way is pathetic for the aforementioned "hurt" folks....that is on RM and RM alone...RM is responsible.
      The son-in-law should have spent 45 minutes apologizing to the victim....then go home and call RM and say, now it's your move.

      As a young child, my grandfather attempted inappropriate touching as I wanted to lie close to him on the couch. I was 5, uncomfortable, and walked away. I never sat close to him again without other people around. My question is, why did she keep going back? I knew at 5, not to be too close to him. I also kept my secret for 65 years. I feel it only destroyed my relationship with my grandfather, which was too bad. I didn't let it destroy my life. I am not at all condoning what Pastor Morris did over 30 years ago. I don't think of him as today being over 60. I think of him as a 21 year old kid who should have known better. I pray for him and everyone involved. He has taught me a lot about the Lord and forgiveness. I pray for his family, friends, and the church. I am sorry for Cindy, and I pray for her, too, and that she finds peace. 🙏

Robert Morris is only sorry because he got caught. If he had revealed this earlier, before he started a church, and made millions of dollars, this would be a much different story. But he didn’t. I bet he prayed every day that this girl would not reveal this. Yes, God forgives him, but let’s not put him on a divine pedestal, this was not just a mistake, it was a deliberate attempt to have sexual relations with a 12 year old. While he was married. And had a son. And he was a preacher. And he never disclosed this to anyone. That’s messed up. This isn’t just an affair, or stealing, this guy ruined this girls life!

    There is no sin that God did not forgive on the cross , both small and big . Robert Morris has repented before God, and I believe God has forgiven him. But the church will not . I know he has to face the consequences of his actions. But the church should be about restoration of the victim and offender . Let’s go to the word and see how the Bible handle it Forgiveness is the 🔑 as God has forgiven us . The same measure you give will be used against you. Again, let the lord comfort the victim and church, let’s not destroy each other , but know that we have an enemy. Lets tender grace , for by grace we are saved, not works . ❤️

    I so appreciate your sensitivity and understanding of how far reaching sexual abuse is!! I was abused by a youth leader and didn't tell my parents for 20 years. When I did, they chose not to say anything to protect his family! Also, I was married for 25 years before my eyes were opened to my husband's acts of abuse with our daughter and then later our granddaughter. He has never admitted any of it and he has had no consequences. My daughter then married a man that was an abuser. Our family is so dysfunctional and torn apart. I have, alone, tried to be there for everyone but now at 63, am unable to handle life myself. Sexual abuse of any kind changes your brain and therefore your decision making process. I am so thankful that through it all, God has drawn me (many times kicking and screaming) to Himself. I know God uses all for our good and His glory and this is what brings me comfort! Thanks again!

I hope it can be a comfort to you. He loved the children and always called them to Himself because He was loving and gentle. He is our hope and one day we will be with Him in a place where no one can hurt us again. Cindy will be there too and many other abused women. But we will be whole and totally healed.

He should never have been allowed to be a pastor according to scripture. Blackmailed? He should have HAPPILY given this victim anything she asked for. He never gave her ANYTHING, other than a lifetime of mental anguish. And she has had to stand by and watch as he became a star and very wealthy knowing what he had done.

We felt like we were the wrong ones. The way this church is handling this is the right way to do it. If this has ever happened to you, please talk with someone and get the help you need.

This pig continued to lie about what he did, and when the truth came out, he still lied- calling her a "young woman" when she was a little girl; and saying a "inappropriate relationship" when he groomed and molested a little girl and stuck his fingers inside her for almost FIVE YEARS. When she filed a civil suit against him in 2005, she only asked for $50,000, to cover the cost of lifelong therapy she has needed; Robert and his lawyers told her no- we'll give you $25,000, and you sign an NDA, agreeing to never tell anyone what was done to you.
      That is nowhere near asking for forgiveness or repentance. Jesus said it is better for a man to have a millstone hung around his neck and be tossed in the middle of the sea, than what He's gonna do to him, for hurting a child. Stop coddling pedophiles and start caring for the victims. It's sick minds like yours that kept this evil man in the pulpit for all these years.

    Thank you for addressing the fact that though God is a God of love and forgiveness, God IS a God of justice! Robert Morris has not truly repented; rather, he continues to deflect blame. However, "whatsoever a man sows, that he shall also reap!" My heart is so heavy for Cindy for the many years she suffered without support. Many of us who have been abused, have been victimized again by the church, who sides with the abuser; listens to and believes the narcissistic lies of the abuser. Jesus knows the truth! Luke 12: 2 reminds us that "there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known." For all the brokenhearted, Jesus has promised that He "will never leave us or forsake us." Keep clinging to the Lord through this horrific trial. Cindy is a living testimony of her faith in the Lord through this whole sordid time, bless her heart. Clinging to Jesus is what has helped me to heal from years of abuse. Isaiah 42:3 has always encouraged my heart. May this verse encourage many who are greatly suffering in these days: "A bruised reed He will not break. And a smoking flax He will not quench; He will bring forth justice for truth." Thank you for sharing your thoughts in the midst of your own heartache. May the Lord be the "lifter of your head," as Psalm 3 encourages us all!

Yes, we should have love and care for the abused, but we also must love those who have acted as our enemies. I pray that Jesus will grant to all His grace, mercy, forgiveness, love, and faith.

    When I heard this First thing ,I thought was Jesus words to the accusers of the woman caught in adultery, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." Then I thought of king David, his sin of adultery with Bathsheba and his trying to cover over his sin, even to the death of her husband Uriah. Sin is sin and we need not brush it under a rug, I am not saying that. But God is a very merciful God and does forgive and restore what the locust has eaten, and we ALL need to remember that. And the other point is this, this is all from Satan to destroy the church, his family and to cause, at the least, great division, criticism and judgment. But each of us need to remember," For ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God", all of us! and failed the Lord and our families at times, some much worse than others. Jesus also told us, Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. I am praying for mercy from his church family and that great glory and good, and healing to come for those believers and spiritual growth. God can and will bring beauty from ashes for those who place their hope and faith in Him.

    The pastor recognized this situation, asked for forgiveness, was removed from ministry, faced the parents and at the time the girl. More than 40 YEARS have passed since this situation happened. This unfortunate situation came already to light and exposed a long time ago.
    And here is the question. WHY this thing is coming out once again? Is not this already confronted and resolved? Why this women is coming publicly NOW?
    Out there there's a spirit in these type of circumstances in which not letting go and destroying lives forever is the ultimate purpose. Including victims. A non reversible mindset where condemnation and shame will never go away. A whole movement drowned in hatred that is willing to go more than 50 years ago and bring to life with the ultimate purpose of performing assasination.

    Gateway has been my place of worship two different times. I have watched Robert’s sermons many many times. For people to even infer that Robert is not a repentant man…..I may be missing something….but have we not seen that fruit with our own eyes? People need to look at his heart not his sin. This is the exact thing that Jesus did in his ministry. Matthew 15……what comes out the mouth is what defiles us. These things have not come out of Robert’s mouth…..he is a repentant man. He’s been in counseling has he not? The woman that’s going all over the place to continue spewing her bitterness…..she needs to repent and let Jesus heal her. Bitterness is just as damaging to the body of Christ. I was molested by two men when I was 6 years old (am 70 now). I carried that bitterness for 24 years until Jesus healed me. Noticed I have gone 40 years without bitterness…..what’s wrong with this woman that cries she’s a believer, but yet she still walks broken. If she is truly a believer then she needs to be healed where she does not want to see “justice” done to her perpetrator. Does the body of Christ forget about forgiveness….do they not preach the Jesus of the Bible. I am disappointed that this sin was hidden. But I am more ashamed that the body of Christ does not heed to the scriptures. Let go of the hurt, the bitterness, the unforgiveness, the hate, the retaliation…..let this Jesus of the Bible heal your wounds. He will do that if you ask him.

      Out of all the men that served God in the Bible, they too had to repent, which they did to be able to serve God and bring others to Christ.
      Robert Morris was definitely in the wrong, but I truly believe he has repented.
      He has been greatly used by God since repentance.
      I don't know if he asked the woman and family to forgive him and possibly this is what he needed to do for them to get through the horrible acts that he did.
      I do not know what the family or the woman went through mentally and I do pray they can get through this now by forgiving and moving on.
      I can understand the anger, frustration, hurt and pain, but after 42 years, forgiveness is their only way to find peace for themselves.
      Did she and the family try to call Robert Morris before going public and try to talk about what happened?
      Maybe, he has tried to call you to ask for forgiveness, if not, he should.
      If he has called and they didn't accept his repentant apology, then they should again try to reach out to him for their own peace.
      Joyce Myers was sexually abused by her father and she found peace by forgiveness.
      Yes, it took her many years, but that is when she got peace from God.
      Unforgiveness holds us captive and keeps us bound from going forward.
      God has forgiven many sins of many of His teachers and followers.
      He forgave murderes and used them, of course after repentance.
      That did not help the ones that were murdered, they could not forgive the murderer but Jesus could and did, just as we should.
      I'm sure the murderer relived those murders over and over even after repentance, because even though God can forgive them it is so hard for us to forgive ourselves a lot of times.
      Eventually we can when we truly understand His forgiveness and that is when we can forgive others.
      May God's forgiveness fill all of these hearts so all may feel the freedom of peace that God wants us to feel.

But he didnt - mayb it was his pride and the fact he was in such a high position, he thought he was invincible. He probably didnt want it exposed even back then, as often abusers love the power to cover their sin. If the sin was exposed, he knew he had committed a crime and so often told his congregations about his immorality with a young lady, not a 12 yr old girl.

I have listened to many messages from him. He has said many times that when he first became a Christian he was not a good person and that God had forgiven him of much. Whatever happened to the scripture that says that God forgives and chooses to remember it no more. It's people that can't forgive. If God forgave him for it what should we do There is only 1 sin that cannot be forgiven. Look it up. I was a victim of sexual abuse at the age of 10. I waited at least 25 years before I told a soul. It's true it cause me serious problems but because of God's Love and Grace I chose to be healed and delivered. She has held this thing over him for years and she needs to do the same thing.❤

      I don’t believe she (Cindy) has held anything over Robert Morris. She’s been through a lot and has carried it . God is working on her heart and it’s a process I believe.
      I also was abused at the age of 5, 6, 7 years of age by several men. I knew there was a God and I never questioned him at that age but I had a lot of problems growing up and a distrust of men. So it was hard to learn to trust God because even my own father abused me. I have accepted God’s love and grace but it was a process for me.
      You’re telling people to forgive and yet your words sound like you don’t forgive Cindy….where’s the love for her? Do we pick and choose who to love and forgive? I don’t think so .
      What leaves a bad taste in my mouth is his ministering about love, grace, mercy of God and yet wasn’t really honest in the sin he committed to a child ….not a woman.
