Some men rely on the bible to shield evil men, especially those who harm women and children. Any book that discourages you from reporting and punishing criminals is not a book to respect! (I actually heard a radio preacher discourage battered women from calling 911. He did not approve of shelters or police intervention. He told wives take the beatings, forgive him, be especially warm in bed, submit. Soon the man will be a Christian too. )

This so-called man of God did not properly go through the American legal process just like any one of us would have to go through if we committed heinous acts such as this...The church elders and other surrogates...with knowledge of this crime...are just as complicit...

Morris’s acts against this 12-year-old child (not a “young lady” as he claims) are reprehensible. He abused her during a five-year period. He may have repented and been forgiven and restored by God, but not into ministry. From the first se**al assault on this child, he should have been arrested, processed, and made to register as an offender like everyone else. He is not above the law, quite the contrary, clergymen are held to a higher standard by God and men. Pursuant to 1 Timothy 3:2-7, from the onset, he disqualified himself and therefore has been unqualified to be a pastor since then. The kicker is that it wasn’t a one-time offense and there could be other victims through the years. While there is a statute of limitations in Oklahoma, there is no statute of limitations in Texas for Cindy or any other victim to file charges now.

Their response was that the statute of limitations had run out so there was nothing they could do. If you have better information I'd like to know where to find it. Because everything I find on line supports my attorney's and the police's claim. "What Is The Statute Of Limitations For Sexual Abuse Lawsuits? {in Texas} The statute of limitations for sexual abuse lawsuits in Texas has been modified. Previously, child victims of sexual assault had 15 years to file a claim dating from the their eighteenth birthday. Adult victims of sexual assault had five years. That deadline is calculated from the date of the attack. However, in 2019, Texas legislators passed a new law that gave child victims more time to file. The new law allows for a 30-year statute of limitations on child sexual abuse. That deadline is calculated from the date of the victim’s 18th birthday. Initially, the bill exempted churches and nonprofits from the expanded statute of limitations. However, victims of sexual abuse protested this exception, and the House amended the bill to include those institutions."

I have found great signicance in the Lords prayer especially in lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. We live in a very sexual society since late 70's till present. It was our ignorance as satan was bringing his perversion into society that the Church didnt take a stand against it and teach their sheep not to be led into temptation but be delivered from evil. Pastor Morris was young in age and in Minstry. The happening of King David and his fall to adultry and murder should have been considered but temptation as with King David who was not a young adult took root. Yet God never thru King David away .In fact He call him a man after Gods own heart. Abraham had sex committing adultry making a child with his servant after God had made a promise to him for a child with his wife. It really takes a willingness to see these situations thru Gods word His heart and mind. Being Carnal minded becomes our sin against God. Had Pastor Morris continued this Sin it would be different but he did do what the word says to do. Repent,turn away .He got proper counseling. I think about sins of my past and then remember the message of the cross is those sins were paid for by the Blood of Jesus. As far as the east is from the west avcording to the Word of God. As Christian's we want to embrace this truth for ourselves but crucify someone else for their past sins. We can not gave it both ways.We forgive as we want to be forgiven. My concern is why this eoman waited till now to come forth? Why publicly? Why not in private with the Church Elders and Pastor Morris? For this womans sake she needs to search her heart for these answeres. Her healing will only come from this and forgiveness. Time we who call ourselves Christians start seeking God for discernment in these issues. Most important we fo not let Satan use this to destroy.

If he truly repented, and only God knows the heart, then he is not a rapist. God does not define us by our past sins if we truly repent. The only sin that can't be forgiven is the rejection of Jesus. Without the blood of Jesus there is no forgiveness.

If we do not believe that Jesus died in our place and thus set the repented sunner free, then He died invaine. Pastor always said he lived an immoral life before Jesus saved him. He repented, had councelling, told his wife. That is taking repentance to a high level. God forgave him People please only cast a stone if you are without sin. Stop crusifying him.

@@cruelcarp5516 I’m truly sorry to hear about your difficult experiences. Forgiveness, especially in the context of your father, can be a very challenging and personal topic. Different faiths and philosophies offer various perspectives on forgiveness and love. In many teachings, forgiveness is seen as a virtue that can lead to healing and peace. It’s often not about condoning the actions or forgetting the harm done, but rather about freeing oneself from the burden of anger and resentment. The concept of divine forgiveness is typically unconditional and separate from human justice; it’s about the possibility of transformation and redemption. Also, I pray you are seeking help and setting boundaries are also acts of self-love and self-respect. If you’re struggling with these feelings, it might be helpful to speak with a trusted spiritual leader, counselor, or therapist who can offer guidance tailored to you. Please take care of yourself, and remember that it’s okay to seek support from others during tough times. Your feelings are valid, and you deserve to be treated with kindness and respect. ❤

“For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?” (1 Peter 4:17).

Prayer needed in this situation for the whole thing and everyone involved

I do not in any way condone this and think exactly like most of you commenting. However, my biggest question is why the parents of this (child at the time) did not push for justice? I'm not speaking as in the church aspect, I'm speaking as in the judicial system. Doesn't seem as though the parents were too concerned about their young daughter being molested. Preacher, friend, relative, I do not care who it is, they touch my child in that way, I will not stop until they pay for what they've done. The entire story makes me nauseous.

It isn't for the victim or us to determine if Morris was truly repentant. He followed Biblical prodicle by confessing his sin and then going through a two year program or something of that sort. His past years since then speak of a repentant man who has turned from that behavior. What he did was wrong. No one should be abused in any way, however, why come forward now? God will judge Pastor Morris. It's our duty to forgive. My daughters were molested, no intercourse involved, by a neighbor many years ago. Thankfully, our daughters told us what was happening so we could stop it. It was difficult to forgive the man but I felt it was what we were supposed to do. We could have pressed charges but the Bible says to forgive. As a family, we worked hard to forgive him and eventually we did truly forgive him. We still feel good about our decision. My daughters are happily married and have given us seven grandchildren. I pray for God's peace to surround both the victim and Pastor Morris and his family. And I also pray that Christians don't lose their faith because of this. This isn't God's fault.

You are correct. This is not God's fault. As God's word says it is Satan's plan to seek to deceive and destroy. And God has given Satan full reign to do exactly that until God returns. This is clear and plainly written in the Word of God. Why Christian people refuse to see that and recognize it for what it is remains to be astounding to me. This is pure unadulterated evil in which Mr. Morris has allowed himself to be the vessel of Satan in this situation and has done so willingly. This type of evil does not come from a pure heart or good human being or sanctified believer. 35 years ago or yesterday this is still pure evil. This is not simply a human mistake. Raping a child once is certainly NOT "just a mistake." It is a hideous crime of soul crushing destruction. And raping a child repeatedly over a 4 year period only comes from a very deep well of true evil. Wake up Christians!

There is a shaking going on in the Body of Christ. Peter said, "Judgment must begin at the house of God...the righteous shall scarcely be saved" (1 Peter 4: 17,18). Peter is telling us that the "Church" is going to be judged. And that the "Church" is in trouble." God is a forgiving God. But there are consequences to our sins. Study the life of David.

God bless this woman. As for Robert Morris, he needs Jesus.

Wow, glad I'm not the judge at this trial. Which sin is worse - murdering Christians or abusing a child? Saul was responsible for the death of Christians. He truly repented and followed God faithfully for the rest of his life which ended with him being martyred for his Savior. Paul (as he was later called) was used of God to bring countless numbers of people to Christ in his time and through out history by those who believed the inspired writings he wrote that were included in the Bible. So even though he committed horrible crimes he found forgiveness with God, was restored and served God as a minister for the rest of his life. Peter, denied Christ 3 times in a row and ran away as a coward when his master was arrested and stood trial. He was in hiding while his teacher was dying on a cross. Yet, he found forgiveness and was used of God to bring thousands to Christ. He continued to serve Christ the rest of his life until he too was martyred for his faith. So what is the case with Robert Morris? I don't have enough information to make a judgment. I don't know if Robert truly repented. I know he has continued in the ministry and has led others to Christ and helped many. So was this a case of past sins not truly repented of catching up with him and judgment from God upon him now? Or is it a case of the forces of evil bringing this man down to prevent him from doing God's work? I don't know. God knows.

He went around preaching and being beaten, jailed, shipwrecked, poisoned, and more all the while telling of his past sin in complete truth and giving the glory of his repentance to God. Morris has lied and evaded the actual truth for decades; if he was a TRUE man if God he would know his sin has disqualified him from church leadership according to scripture. This man not only minimized his "moral failing" he tried to blame the victim, refused to pay her counseling bills, asked her to sign an NDA, and wrote books based on his false testimony.

It was Satan working through the administration of that church not removing the pedophile as they should have. And it is Satan now using this situation yet atain (that he orchestrated 35 years ago) to deceive and destroy. If Robert Morris hadn't allowed Satan to use him 35 years ago this wouldn't be an issue today. All these naive people say "look at all the amazing good Morris has done in these past 35 years." And I say "look at how Satan is yet again using Robert Morris's sin today destroying faith in God, dividing His people, and dividing His church from society as a whole. Doing much more destruction than Robert Morris ever did good." THIS is a win for the cunningness of Lucifer. If Robert Morris had kept his dick in his pants OVER THE 4 - COUNT THEM - 4 YEARS that he continued to rape this child, then this would be a win for God. Robert Morris's depravity lost this win for God and made it a win for Satan. THIS IS A CLEAR CALL TO CHRISTIANS TO OPEN THEIR EYES! STRAP ON THE THE SHEILD'S OF FAITH IN GOD AND PICK UP THEIR SWORDS!
