I agree !!

So true!!!!

I don't know, her parents told Robert not to make it public, but under different circumstances, it's possible. Either way, he committed a crime.

What Robert Morris did was abhorrent, but the fact that her parents allowed this to be swept under the rug was worse. They were responsible for protecting and defending their daughter, but they failed at both. They chose to remain in good standing with their church community at the expense of their daughter's dignity.

@@LareinaJE I absolutely agree with you. They allowed this to be kept secret!!! Her own parents!!!! They should be ashamed of themselves ‼️‼️‼️. Can you imagine how she must feel. They sacrificed her for his position in the church. This blows my mind. This went on for 4 years. 12-17. Unbelievable. The church leaders as her parents should be held accountable ‼️‼️‼️

In Cindy's statement she said there was no phone call.

Wow! Well, I am sorry you went through all of this. I went through some church hurt no where close to what you went through. It takes a long time to heal from such trauma but I hope you’re on the up and up. The worst part is how the church to respond to the “real” victims.

God will repay them for everything they did to you.

That was before Christ came.

@@CandidConversationswithKrista in my state of Indiana. If you KNOW OF AN ABUSE OF A CHILD. AND DO NOT TELL SOMEONE TO HELP THAT CHILD. YOU ARE JUST AS GUILTY. AND CAN BE CRIMINALLY CHARGED

@@CandidConversationswithKrista what absolutely kills me is that her own parents did nothing about this let it get swept under the rug all for his position in the church. This is absolutely horrible ‼️‼️‼️‼️. THIS WENT ON FOR 4. YEARS. 4. This was not a one time thing. THIS WENT ON FOR 4 years ‼️

@@maryperrysmith5815 I'm pretty sure that her parents regret not having gone to the police back then. Instead they choose to go the biblical route and that route put Morris right back where he should never have gone back to. After listening to Cindy's interview yesterday on CBN, she mentioned how often her and her family went to other pastors and elders from the age of 19 onward. I don't know all the answers but I'm pretty sure her parents regret that decision as Cindy mentioned her dad was a very present and loving father.

@@maryperrysmith5815 Right. I think that is the case in most places, not sure though. All I know is the statute of limitations is up in this case and criminal charges can't be made.

@@CandidConversationswithKrista I have to come forward. This kind of thing happened in my family with my adopted dad. He sexually abused my older sister. He came clean when she was 12 cause he thought she was pregnant it started when she was 8. 8. It ruined our family. To this day. My mom shot him she lost her nursing license because of that he went to Florida prison 10 years. But it ruined my mom my life my two older sisters lives. We became a mess. My mom hated her own daughter because of what happened. She made her life a living hell for sleeping with her husband. It was hell. By 15. My mom let her leave home married some sailor man. At 15!!!! Just to get rid of her!!! My sis and I things were not any better if we even talked to a guy my mom accused of of sleeping with him. My sis left at 16. I ran away till state intervention. The physical abuse I couldn’t handle. My mom was a mess. It ruined us as a family. I went to live in children’s home. I was better off and you know that was bad but. Now I made it. Alone. Have 3 great sons two graduated from Purdue. One about to retire Air Force. And I adopted my niece then 3 year old daughter who now is 24. I made it through all the chaos. But this story just hit so close to home I didn’t talk to my mom for I don’t know how many years 30-40 I’m 69 now I never let her know my kids my kids don’t know all this never wanted them to see this part of life. I’m ok. They are ok I did fine.

Well stated.

Trauma is exacerbated when the people who should be protecting you sweep it under the rug or minimize it.

Do you know the difference between "criminal vs sinful?" What sins or crimes are you hiding?

​@@FaithandPurpose828She's probably not a pastor. They are held to a higher standard and MUST be above reproach according to the Bible. Just being fair.

@@FaithandPurpose828 Read your bible to find how much you don't understand.

I'm not curious about Evan's sins.

I agree. When someone is truly contrite, they let it all out. In his case, as an elder, scripture says he needs to be rebuked publicly (1st Timothy 5:20).

Cool, what are your past sins?

Right it’s supposed to be “open confession” not deceive others more with sugar coated words

@@snake5305good question 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 😂😂😂 ❤❤❤

@@CookieCoCo_OGActually, only Elder’s sins are to be made public (1st Timothy 5:20). All others are commanded to confess their sins to each other (James 5:16) 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

He clearly did not repent if people followed his actions from the first time he committed the act to recently, when he was “forced” to resign. Those who are bewildered are the ones who are having accepting that the great Robert Morris is a child molester.

Right because it's been years for me. Thankfully I am not easily triggered but I come to spaces like these because I realize that survivors are always revictimized when these situations are brought to light. Your daughter is blessed to have you, thank you. Only mom knows and I am 47yrs old. I cannot tell my dad because of the circumstances. Coming from a village I don't want my dad to suffer. It's a long story,

Do you know the difference between "criminal vs sinful?" What sins or crimes are you hiding?

Please Margaret tell us of your sin you struggle with daily please

@@FaithandPurpose828Scripture commands that an Elder’s sin should be rebuked publicly. You may argue he was not continually sinning but the fact that he hid it for long means he was “sinning” every single day.

Great sermons , why take them down?

@@Slntsir because he a disgrace pastor

@@Joankc119 One of my favorite pastor Bob Coy founder of Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale did the same thing sort of he counseled a young girl and ended up abusing her for years. He stepped down and his church wiped everything he had ever done.

​@@RandallLindNo. The circumstance you described below is not the same as Robert Morris's issue. You sound silly.

@carriemccurley-th8gn, there has to be a first before there can be a second or third. I haven’t seen any evidence that he’s a serial child predator as you claim.

@@whiskeredtuna He already admitted to it. I'm not claiming, I'm showing research on what statistics show. Do you really think a man who did this to a child for 4 years and lies for decades about it has only one victim? Do you know how much lying he had to do just to commit these heinous acts for that long? He also shares in his sermons that he had multiple affairs. SMH.

Agreed! Couldn’t have said it better.

Nope, he's on par with the pseudo-Christian cults.

First of all, not sure why there’s a laughing emoji about a story on child molestation. People usually say “there’s gotta be more to this story” when they want to be willingly ignorant.

No he wouldn’t, it was virtually impossible to get justice back then, it still is when there is no physical evidence. Church members are TAUGHT to take problems to the church and not to trust outside institutions.

Truth

Yes , its hard for them. Affects their self-perception. God has to help them see themselves as He sees them , through the Crimson vail.

And why did she keep sneaking into his room for over 4 years if he was abusing her? I don't understand that.

Good points 🤔

😢 Chris, great comment

@@petefults5984stop saying and posting this comment ! You obviously have no clue what happens in the mind of a child who has been groomed by a cult for abuse!!!!! Shame on you! And shame on the OP Could the reason it is now revealed is because god is not mocked he has not repented the lord is humbling this man and because he has spent decades fleecing the sheep and lying on his and preaching a false twisted gospel??? Why do people forget that the lord is watching?

Pedophiles don’t change, Robert Morris is a child molester not a former molester

You have a great point! Is it because I agree with you? Corey should pin your comment.

He wrote books it’ll mess with his money

Yall should post ur daily Sin u commit against God

@@sebastiansingh5167 I dont have a 12000 member Church. I am not a Pastor that has to submit to the prerequisite of Scripture. I dont have people all over the World looking to me for the answer. Before you jump the gun any more my statement was that Evans dont say what it because the Church people would tear him apart. I am a member of OCBF. So if you live in Dallas and attend service I'll be at 2nd service tomorrow and if you still want to talk sharp to me dont do it on here ill see you tomorrow. Have that same energy.

This is not an inappropriate relationship; this is criminal !!!

Are you serious? He asked her how much? It was to shut her up! Because he molested her as a little girl.

If she had taken him to court she more than likely would have gotten the money and him in jail. 🤔

Evidently not because she never followed thru with collecting an amount of money. She could have sued Morris way before now and been awarded much more than two million.

And he would be on the registry.😊

Even the Bible requires a "Bride Price" when a man messes over a female, like that. Nothing wrong with her asking him for compensation for her loss. She was wronged. That's the least he could do. She never turned him in. It could have been much worse for him. Show both justice and mercy. Ugh!

Looks like her Father did not help other than confront the minister. I wonder if there are more youngsters, young woman who may have had the laying on of hands by the Reverend Morris?

What do think? Just wondering?

@@tomy8339 perhaps you didn’t hear what I said or you misunderstood. I never said that all can nor should be restored. You however are incorrect. There is no passage that list certain sins as disqualifying. , or that a person is disqualified for life.

@@smartchristians Corey, with all due respect. When Paul says that leaders and elders are to have a good reputation with outside and above reproach, that clearly implies that some sins disqualify for life. A former paediphile can never be a leader in the church. There are sins that are common in all of us that no one ever expects a pastor never to have committed. If you've gotten drunk, taken illicit drugs, lost your temper, lied, stolen etc, none of these disqualify as "above reproach", because everyone has committed some of these. But if you're a convicted rapist, domestic violence abuser etc, you never should be a leader. The fact that this Morris scandal has resurfaced decades later is proof of the wisdom and veracity of the scriptures teaching on this matter.

​@@tomy8339Agreed!

@@tomy8339I agree. Even if Paul did not outright say it, it is implied. I could never trust Robert to be around my daughter even if he said he repented.

Child molestation should be dealt with, not covered.

@@gayleday861 oh yes I agree that this person's Ill needs to be dealt with. My comment is about my own sin and how grateful I am that I have God's grace and mercy and that when I am judged at my time, because of the work of Jesus my sins are covered into eternity. There are so many different opinions about this situation, and how it should be dealt with which is interesting because we are all one body. But that goes to so many differences we have within the body regarding what God says in His Word. I'm just dealing with me. You judge in whichever way you want.

@@BryanCurtisSaved ... agree with you

Please elaborate

Being really sorry, R.M. should offer her half of his possession, that would show respect and repentance

So it's a money thing now ? So money would make you feel better , be able to buy things, wow ,no spiritual healing ,just more trips, better cars ,bigger house ,fat bank account ,wow very shallow

The money she asked for to pay her councilling fees.

This is problem with sexual abuse. No one knows whether he did it to anyone else. Secondly, it is always assumed that a child will outgrow the trauma only to have it rise later in life in some form or relationship. Why should this woman overlook her trauma or move on? Some people can not move on because the damage is done and etched. Perhaps, the Reverend Morris's brand of Christianity is really not Christ's brand. What she saying is I am living my truth and it is living in . . . .; the Reverend's truth, who knows?

Really

@@petefults5984, I hope you’re not victim blaming here (‘she kept sneaking into his room’) She was 12 years old when he first assaulted her. Let that sink in - 12 years old. As a pedophile, he groomed her, and most likely threatened her in a myriad of ways should she divulge the abuse. He was apparently a trusted friend of her parents and ‘a man of God.’ She was 12… There’s only one guilty party here: Morris. To even insinuate that the victim voluntarily subjected herself to this ongoing abuse is very misguided.

Because such a video with an inflammatory headline garners views and likes for the channel

Do you not understand what a predator is? They prey on the venerable, and they manipulate their victim. He actually said it in his speech that he did years ago. Please watch & listen. He actually tells you how he had operated, but we now know it was not a 'lady' it was a vulnerable 'child'.

Assuming that she went into his room? Logically speaking he was married and the couple stayed at Cindy’s family’s house. To me that suggests RM went to Cindy and seduced her because he’s a child molester who committed a criminal offense. Blaming the victim is not healthy. I hope that you can learn from this exposure to see and understand. This way of thinking that a victim is to blame is why it took years for Cindy to come forward and when she did she was shut down by many church leaders. It’s been a long journey and there will be more that will come to light. I only hope that you’re ready to receive the truth and become part of the solution and not hide behind corruption.

Based on your post, you sound like one of those who find it hard to accept Robert is a child molester who attempted to hide his sins for decades. You then upped the ante by blaming a 12 year old instead of a man. The power differential is huge between the two. He could simply asked her to come to him at a certain time. You’re disgusting.

He should be in jail. Forgiven, and in jail. He can continue his "ministry" in there.

Amen​@@michaelarmenta8289

​@@michaelarmenta8289 Isn't that kinda like Jesus forgiving us for our sins but still sending us to Hell? If I'm in Hell, did Jesus really forgive me?

@@michaelarmenta8289 God did Forgive David for killing Uriah but he still had to pay for the consequences of his sin. In this case I don't disagree. But when your own family turns on you.(the body of christ) it feels like and looks like betrayal. Jesus knows all about that doesn't he? American Christians would rather crucify than forgive and feel justified in doing so. But from God's point of view it's more like hypocrisy.

@@SkeeterDunn Hypocrisy? Matthew 7 teaches on hypocrisy. It means someone pretending like an actor, so RM pretended for 4 plus years while pastoring a church ( shepherd ) and married . 41/2 years of scheming and lying and protecting his own ego and reputation , now that's hypocrisy. You said RM didn't lie, do you think the motives of his heart were godly when he said all of this? It's actually what he didn't say and it is his own words that are judging him now. Christians are angry over not just this incident, but countless more all of whom were pastors.

He clearly was trying to minimize

Case in point. It was with a young lady.

Unfortunately once you involve children and sexual sin it's a different ball game.

This is one of the most misused scripture in the Bible. I’m willing to bet that those who use that scripture to excuse sins are the ones who are always ready to condemn non-believers. Here’s a scripture that addresses both issues: 1st Corinthians 5:12 “What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside”. Did you catch that? We absolutely MUST judge each other’s actions. On the other hand, outsiders do in their private lives is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. I’m a Christian btw.

Actually, based on the fact that he tried to hide molesting a 12 year old by saying young lady for all these years is proof that he did not repent. He only resigned when she made everything public.

No! Not blackmail. He wronged her and took her innocence. She could have done far more to him. She never turned him in. But he owed a "Bride Price" for what he did to her. That was the least that he could do. He never went to jail and he's not on a registry list. Come on, now. Where's our sense of justice and mercy?

He did not repent. He kept this silent for more than two decades while continuing to make himself rich at the expense of gullible church members, and only mdke a statement AFTER his sins were exposed. It's PR and damage control, not repentance.

What is a devil thing? What Morris did to a 12 year old child? It is criminal, thus a world thing.

Morris isn't a true pastor over a true church. He's a heretic

I call what Morris did to a 12 year old girl PURE EVIL! I also call it multiple FELONY S@XUAL ASSAULTS of a CHILD over several YEARS! If any other man would have to go to PRISON for multiple FELONIES, why should Morris skate without paying any penalty for his CRIMES! And, blaming the VICTIM is sadly all too common! By the way, the verse you referenced is frequently misquoted, as you did. John 7:24 actually says to “JUDGE WITH RIGHTEOUS JUDGEMENT.” ✝️✝️✝️

fair thought R.M. should offer compensation of half of his financial possession - just to be fair

if he repented, he would step down long ago. He's already disqualified according to the scripture.

Robert Morris would have required his victim to sign a NDA before agreeing to pay her therapy bills. She refused as she would not be silenced.

She was offered £25,000. She was told she was flighty and had a Jezebel spirit. She refused the money.

What should I go hard on him for? Do you happen to know why he step down? Until then.........

@@smartchristiansexactly!!!

@smartchristians No, I don't know. What I do know is his pride and his status won't let him truly repent. You repented, you don't just say you stole, you truly repented and confessed what exactly it was that you did. You know what I'm trying to say and what I mean, don't play dumb.

@@michaelarmenta8289 the wise and godly thing to do is just to wait until his reasons come out. If we never find out then so be it. But right now we don’t have much of a basis to judge him

We don't have all the facts about what Tony Evans has gone through or did or didn't do. That makes a big difference. It looked like Robert Morris is pulling a Donald Trump and trying to pay somebody hush money. That's a huge difference.
