I wouldn’t call him a ‘devil inspired’ teacher....His teachings were solid for the most part. I would call him a teacher who fell into sin of his own design and making ....without question. How and when this first happened I don’t know, but once a sinful habit is establised you will feed it....and he certainly did so as others before him have done.
“Be sure your sin will find you out”
I can’t say I wasn’t disturbed when hearing of Ravi Zacharia’s scandal and abuse because I was... It should disturb anyone who knew of Ravi’s teachings just as it would if it were a family member they respected that had fallen into a dark place.
I’ve seen other godly men fall, and some struggle their way back to the fold but never without having been scathed...and those scars are often visable the rest of their life. But they did return.
.....”I thought the whole point of Protestantism was for everyone to explore the Bible for themselves”......
That wasn’t Protestantism that encouraged that.....For it’s written...”Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth....2 TIMOTHY 2:15..and the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his”
