Ravi Zacharias Hid Hundreds of Pictures of Women, Abuse During Massages, and a Rape Allegation
Christianity Today ^ | Feb. 11, 2021 | DANIEL SILLIMAN AND KATE SHELLNUTT

Zacharias “made her pray with him to thank God for the ‘opportunity’ they both received” and, as with other victims, “called her his ‘reward’ for living a life of service to God,” the report says. Zacharias warned the woman—a fellow believer—if she ever spoke out against him, she would be responsible for millions of souls lost when his reputation was damaged.

The findings, alongside details revealed over months of internal reckoning at RZIM, challenge the picture many have had of Zacharias.

When he died in May, he was praised for his faithful witness, his commitment to the truth, and his personal integrity. Now it is clear that, offstage, the man so long admired by Christians around the world abused numerous women and manipulated those around him to turn a blind eye.

It’s in the report from the investigators hired by Zacharias’s own corporation.

Sort of like the Republican Party is President Trump's "own" party. They wouldn't malign him of course.

“There must be some innocent reason he had 200 ‘massage therapists’ in his phone contacts!”

Why do you say that?

His family controls the corporation.

This story has been leaking in dribs and drabs for several years. It’s legit. He was importing women from Asia and using them as concubines, pimping them to his big donors, as well as keeping women in Asia.

He was a pig. I imagine his meeting his Maker did not go as he thought it would.
“What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul”.
Hope he enjoyed his pleaures here on earth.

What has happened to ‘Innocent until proven guilty’?

Where do you get the concubines? That isn't mentioned a single time in the report.

The report is all unnamed sources. They're learning from The Washington Post. Disappointing how this forum is reacting.

Scroll down in the linked article and you will find this:

“Full Report of Investigation Commissioned by RZIM” in one of those insert box-things to post documents. “RZIM,” the organization that commissioned the investigation and published the report, is Ravi Zacharias International Ministries.

Al unnamed sources. RZIM switched from a pro Ravi law firm to a liberal anti-Ravi law firm. Gee, I wonder if they’ll put out a fair assessment or something that hurts conservative Christians since Ravi can’t defend himself. Expect the same when John MacArthur dies.

Yes, and “Lincoln Project” is also a “Republican” Group, like RZIM is pro-Ravi — they no longer are.

The left tactics. Attack when the accused can’t defend himself.

By the way, this “Julie Roys” chick is a real bitch.

I get it. Some people are personally super invested in Ravi Zacharias. Whatever. Have a nice weekend.

That was so mature. It really shows the heart of a true believer in Ravi Zacharias.

Get a liberal law firm, interview people who won’t be named, get the result you want. The Bible deals harshly with false witnesses. I have yet to see one single actual letter or email or actual text that Ravi sent (just a screenshot is all, as long as it could be proved it was genuine) — that incriminates Ravi.

Did they ‘switch’ law firms after he died?

Much preferable to your gullible "maturity". What did you think of Blasey Ford and that chick who claimed President Trump raped her in a clothing store?

This is why we lose. Dumbasses like you. Really.

Yes. All I want is one provable thing (screenshot, text, anything) that actually came from Ravi. One. None of it's provided. All unnamed sources, and just "we found this". Your BS meter beeping too?

““I wouldn’t necessarily believe any of this.””

Why do you say that?
