Taking advantage of a young, innocent and defenseless person doesn't show love of God, family or faith.
The guy was a lowlife. A lowlife who fooled a lot of people for a long time.
Pity the idiots who fell for his phony piety all those years. They have some soul searching to do...
It shows we are all capable of great sin, even the best among us, the most helpful among us to God’s work.
Satan will find your weakness and use it to completely reverse everything you have spent your life doing for Christ. Be on guard always.
Can you hate the sin and not all of the good that the sinner din?
Should your whole life’s work be for naught because you did an evil thing?
Are you a Christian, or a hypocrite that loves Christ?
Is there really forgiveness? Would Judas have been forgiven had he not taken his own life (plyed God) earlier?
Actually, Tom was accused of taking advantage of a young girl. Before i would pass judgment, I would like to know the age of the “young girl” and he past record of any such allegations.
We live in a country where once a woman makes the allegation, the guy is automatically judged guilty. And that’s not fair. Women today know that they can’t lose once they hurl the accusation. If they are proven wrong, everyone says “Ho, hum, well there must have been something to it.” And it they are proven right, they get to destroy their victim — even if they were willing an active participants in the liaison.
So, let’s not be too quick to judge. Today’s women and “young girls’ are not the chaste, virtuous beings of bygone days. Remember, today, more than any of us like to imagine start young and pride themselves on notching their bedposts. Most women who have children under age 30 in the US today have chosen not to marry first. The Kardashians are not ostracized; they are role models.
“If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone...”
John 8:7
Right. It is hard to feel sorry for a lowlife sinner.
Thank You, Lord, that I am not a lowlife like Tom White.
Luke 18:9-14
You might consider that this was an act of sin that does not reflect his character—the new man that was created when he first believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, and that he lived for many years.
If he did commit this terrible deed (it is still being investigated), it seems that he could not face the revealing of it and the consequences—to the girl, his family, his ministry; but you can be sure that he knew that God knows every single detail.
None of us can put ourselves in this man’s mind. If he was a true believer, he will suffer loss of reward in heaven, for every deed of every person—believer or unbeliever—is recorded and will be judged. That includes you and me.
The difference is that if he was a true believer he was accepted in the Beloved because of the shed blood and sacrifice of Christ, who redeemed him from all his sins—past, present, and future.
We have known and supported VOM for many years and are heart broken over this. We pray for this young girl, her family, Tom White’s family and VOM.
Reading all the comments that have been made from unbelievers and what they think of “Christians” is heartbreaking too, and also shows Satan’s power over the world—he is the god of this world for a little while longer, but when Jesus returns, he will be bound for 1000 years and then thrown into the lake of fire. So says the Bible.
Do we know about others this guy may have “touched”?
In any event, he’s a coward for taking his own life in lieu of publicly coming to terms with his behavior.
It sounds like he did more good than harm, but we have to leave that for the biographers.
YOu underestimate the deceitfulness of sin. Every time I read of an exposure of a person's sin like this, I try to pray, There but for the grace of God am I.
Your statements are rejected because you are not informed well enough to comment about Dr. Tom White.
I said: You do not know what you’re talking about. Please investigate Voice of the Martyrs. There’s more to this work than just making cartoons, as someone insinuated earlier on this thread.
