This video is so refreshing! I shared an article some days ago and was upset about the Zacharias scandal. This guy puts things so well. So many good points. He is a new person to me, apparently a appreciated apologist himself with half a million followers on Youtube. He says it feels so uncomfortable when people are praising him. In addition he makes a little surprising turn in the other half of the clip. He wants people to understand that giftings and success, has nothing to do with a high moral or virtue. We are gifted in different areas, but our giftings are given to serve others, not to make others serve us and put us on a pedestal. In addition, being gifted and praised, in combination with personal struggle, might be devastating if you are not allowed to be transparent and honest. This guy is brutally honest about his own background – prison, not being able to show empathy, his strange reactions when his mother died because of drug abuse, and more.
@tanjaostman 2 Timothy 3:6-9 (NIV) 6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7 always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. 9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.
@tanjaostman A very wise friend once said to me,”Make sure your hero’s are dead!”
Sorry, but the victims of his wicked behavior are broken and wounded for life! He, like all of us will stand before the judgment seat of Christ! Granted, Ravi was a gifted orator, however, his “dark side” has negated much of his life accomplishments!
I praise one Man alone, Jesus Christ! All overs are mere humans full of fleshly desires! I can speak on this because of my background and life experiences...
@ScottLuke thanks for the comment! I so agree with you!
