Thanks for posting the news. I do not know if Cosby is guilty of the allegations. Everything I have learned confirms that the man is guilty as sin. IF SO, I and - I am sure - many others take a measure of pleasure in the “speed bumps” that have been placed in the man’s life; namely the loss of the prestige and honor that he has for so long coveted and taken for granted. The Scripture says: “The sins of some men go before them, the sins of others follow after.” Unlike many others whose offenses are not revealed in this life, at least Cosby has been granted the opportunity to reflect and hopefully feel remorse for whatever he has done, and to make amends.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thanks for your brilliant statement, which exhibited both spiritual discernment and care for Cosby. We can hope that the Lord is able to use this either to reclaim Cosby from himself and Satan or, if already a believer, to draw him closer. Indeed, now that he's been brought so forcefully to our attention, do we not have the duty to pray for him?

Thanks again.

24 The sins of some are obvious, reaching the place of judgment ahead of them; the sins of others trail behind them.
