Because not all churches have sexual predators in them. Do you stop going to the grocery store or the mall because there are predators present? Do you stop going to the doctors because there have been reports of doctors overstepping their boundaries and sexually assaulting their patients? I venture to say no, you likely still go to all of those places because NOT EVERY doctors office, grocery store or mall is the same. 🙏🏽 My heart and prayers go out to any child who is taken advantage of anywhere. 😢

What? There are sinners in a church? That doesn’t mean everyone there is a sinner…oh wait…yes it does. A pedofile in a church, among thousands of people, doesn’t mean the whole church is full of pediphiles. .. you people will find any reason to justify not going to church. “THERE ARE SINNERS THERE AND IM NOT HONNA BE ATOUND SINNERS…give me a break. The only difference is that sinners who come to Jesus can receive forgiveness.

I'm sure they now have those trainings and background checks in place now that they are under a microscope. Robert Morris was in a leadership role (he founded and pastored Gateway Church) at the time he sexually assaulted girl. And there were more victims, I am sure. And it would not surprise me one iota if the elders were in on some of those activities as well.

Not sure what that means, organizations have had just as many scandals and though a church might be planted by an individual they have a corporate structure that has elders, trustees and or directors. One must put their trust only in Jesus Christ and be careful not to lift man to a high level. Jesus showed humility in his service to all men and though made famous by His mighty acts always walked in lowliness and meekness. These two qualities show men a path to integrity. Though Jesus was God He was also man who was tempted but never sinned. What a model!

Shame on the Gateway Pastors for not reporting that assault to the police. They are mandated by the law to report it. Not just discuss it between themselves and then badmouth the Mom. The Gateway Elders and Robert Morris treat these victims with such disdain. They don’t want Gateway’s reputation to be tarnished. Who cares about the victims! And they call themselves men of God!

These cases can no longer just be swept under the rug. A report must go directly to police. The policy should be so strict that anyone who avoids exposing the case needs to also be charged with hiding it from police. ( Why are they not in the position to be “mandatory reporters” who must go to the police with a crime?) It seems like a little cash for the persons sexual assault and molestation is “solving” these cases, yet the perpetrator is still assaulting children and teens within the church. Jesus says of these little ones, “ their angels are always facing the Father.” Jesus says, “it would be better to be thrown into the sea with a millstone around your neck and die rather than cause one of His little ones to sin.” God is exposing major sin in the church. Just in the last few months big teachers in the church have fallen due to sexual issues: TD Jake’s, Tony Evens, JP Miller, Robert Morris and a few years ago Ravi. Robert molested a 12 year old who is now 45. When she asked for $50,000 to cover counseling Robert and his attorney came back saying $25,000 and a non disclosure agreement- she said no. At that time he told a close friend that this young lady was trying to extort $2 million dollars from him which was a lie. He is worth 120 million dollars! He and his attorney came back saying she was very flirtatious- as if she came after him. Robert convinced his wife that the “young lady” was the aggressor. This “young woman” was actually 12 and not 20 like him- he was married while he was doing this. He got caught and has been telling people lies about, this “ young lady.” He said he stepped out of ministry for 2 full years for healing which he did not do. He also told people that the young ladies father had given him the ok to return to ministry which was a lie. God is not mocked. It is only by God’s grace that God is exposing these pastors and not just letting them die in their sins which would send them to hell for all eternity. Robert got caught in lies and now the real truth is coming out. God heard Cindy’s cry for help. He does not leave us or abandon us. It is all in His time and now is the time of exposure. The Lord is also coming to bring judgment on political leaders who have sold out the US for money. Keep your eyes on all these issues. I recommend a KZfaq person named Troy Black he does a great job with prophetic words. It helps to know how to pray for issues. If you have ever suffered abuse/ sexual violation- God hears your heart cry. It says in the Old Testament that he holds all your tears in a bottle. You have a purpose in this life. Keep Jesus first.
