While I’m deeply saddened by this, I can’t say I find it all that surprising. It’s not that I didn’t consider @RaviZacharias to be a man of the highest character (I did), but rather I knew he was just that—a man. And humans, regardless of gender, are prone to sin.

As Christ said of the woman caught in adultery, “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” And as He said later in that encounter, “Where are they? Has no one condemned you? . . . Then neither do I condemn you. Go now and leave your life of sin.” (John 8:7, 10-11)
