I assume nothing as it is not up to me. However his life is an open book now.
Absolutely... His hypocrisy has caused deep damage to not only believers who trusted in him but to the non-believing world. This is quite easily the biggest scandal in the modern Christian world.
I was deeply grieved when I found this out... the person who discovered his deception was an atheist... I wrote to this man and thanked him for uncovering what should never have been.... Ravi's scandal began with the use of false credentials... and snowballed into abuse of power... which snowballed into abuse of women. There is a problem with how we treat and deal with leadership here in the Christian world... we put them on pedestals... and stop making them accountable.

What about me? Do you know me to quote this verse?
What about Ravi Zacharias you asked. So what about you? Never done anything wrong? Ever?
Don't throw stones unless you yourself are without sin.

I am still very much shocked and deeply saddened by this and find it very hard to believe to be all true

It's absolutely ALL true... RZIM ministries released a statement. Ravi was guilty of loving POWER and PRESTIGE... His ministry failed to make him accountable... it happens all the time sadly.

John MacArthur said in an interview that Ravi hardly mentioned the Bible in his messages
I am not here to tear Ravi apart... In my opinion he was one of the best apologists out there...HE was an intelligent man... just not a very wise or humble one.

actually.. she was correcting you... LOL

1Ti 2:11, Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
1Ti 2:12, But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
1Ti 2:13, For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
1Ti 2:14, And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

I suppose I am left out of the loop as to the scandal associated with Ravi Zacharias.

Actually, don't tell me....I don't want to know.

I would consider repeating the matter to be gossip which is a sin in the eyes of the Lord...
