He has gone to be with the Lord, that should be our earnest prayers and desires, not to have more of the things of this world.

There are already ways to 'treat' cancer using different medical therapies.

It just depends on if it's discovered early enough. None is ideal though. Adverse effects usually accompany them.

Also, the word "cancer" refers to a class of diseases. It is unlikely that there will ever be a single genuine "cure for cancer" any more than there will be a single treatment for all infectious diseases.


The adverse effects is why I don't believe there is a cure. Sometimes it just seems like allowing cancer to progress naturally (and using healthy food and herbs to slow down its progress) is better than exposing one's body to all forms of radiation that will not only harm one physically but mentally.

To Live is Christ to Die is Gain...

As long as Papa Died in JESUS He is in the Best place of Life...

GLORY! Glory! Glory!


Leaving this Earth with JESUS is an Experience that is Undescribable! It's Superfluous! It's Fabulously Fabulous! It's Joyously Joyfulness! O My GOD! Nothing can be Compared to it!

In the past few weeks 2 people who I know closely left the Earth.

One was a Brother in the LORD.. Sold out to GOD. A GENUIE Believer. When I was told of his death, I Screamed.. but I wasn't so pained because I know where he is. Few days later I was told that right in the hospital bed just before he died. His wife came to Change his Cloths and put new clothes on him. He told the wife not to worry about Changing his Cloths. In his Words

"Don't Change me, The angels are here already! Can't you see them"

O my GOD ! What a Glorious way to depart

He saw the host of Heaven who had come to usher him To Heaven and he didn't want his wife to do anything that will keep here on Earth! O My GOD! That is how I Pray to Get out from This Earth.


The Second guy just passed away few days ago! A bubbling young man who had the World at his feet! A young Military officer doing Very well!

I can't say about him Cos I don't know if he was saved or not Before he died! We grew up together as kids in the barracks and we went to the same church as youths with our parents! All I could say when I heard of his death was A Glorious future has been cut short!


What am I saying?
Having JESUS Is the Greatest Gift you can give your Soul..

Many don't know that if you actively defend religious stories as being 100% true then you're an apologist, because the world isn't viewed through those beliefs. Wake up Nigerians.

The therapies has been proven to have a good chance of success, even with its adverse effects.

Leaving cancer to advance in stages, is only done if it's noticed late. When there's no hope of removing all traces of it again.

If you leave it to grow continually even when discovered early, you are signing up for a shorter lifespan.

Some people get treated and live longer than the age cancer could've killed them.

Cancers redirect the bodies resources towards itself, so no matter all the healthy food or herbs you eat you're only making them stronger. That's why you kill them with radiation before they spread to places therapies can't reach.

All Cancers are basically a type of cell that wants to outlive the body. They can even grow new blood vessels and make your immune system ignore them while doing so. Cancer is a war against your own body. A skin cancer can grow skin in your brain and kill you, no matter the food you eat.

In my Pilgrim's Progress, I was chanced to hear one speak with eloquence, a choice with words that embellished a heart and mind that seejed simplicity, that balance, which many yearn but may never find.
Yet, I do not judge, to die should be for CHRIST as well as to have lived.
You lived well.......

Lots of speculations about cancer. There hasn't really been a consensus.

There are a lot of people I admire but very few has reached the depth Dr Ravi reached. Though we know he's resting, yet his absence on this side of eternity will be greatly felt.


Only few individuals can really convince one that mediocrity and Christianity don't go together. Ravi Zacharias was and still remains one of them.

SeriouslySense:
Apologetics (from Greek ἀπολογία, "speaking in defense"wink is the religious discipline of defending religious doctrines through systematic argumentation and discourse. Early Christian writers (c. 120–220) who defended their beliefs against critics and recommended their faith to outsiders were called Christian apologists.


they are Christians not Christian apologist.


that word .... apologist....does not define a Christian

oh Jesus.

This man lived for the kingdom. He was regarded as paul the apostle of this generation. go to rzim.org and listen to his messages

he hand answers for every atheist. revered by professors in Cambridge, Oxford and Harvard.

A body of knowledge has gone

Rest in peace sir.

Yes he had answers for every atheist but what point has his death at incurable cancer shown? How has this type of death given boost to his message? The obvious sad truth is that his death is a minus to his beliefs and what he wanted us all to think. I was born a Christian but I know its limits just like every other religion. What I know is that there is a force out there and it ain't no man. No personality, no emotions, no attitude, just sheer raw power. If you read your history well and see what happened in the eyes of those that saw them you will know God has no time

On this. Because some studies have talked about starving the cancer cells by not feeding it what it likes such as sugar.

Bóló cheesy

Conclusion: There is no risk in living for Jesus and dying with no resurrection whatsoever wink

But there is extreme risk to live without Jesus and discover that you are still conscious after death of your body. shocked

Sad.

Even when you have access, there is still a high probability of relapse.

I remember Ben Carson wrote in one of his books, Taking the Risk, that the reason he went for a prostate cancer surgery is that he wanted to encourage other people to do it.

He would have chosen the supplement herbal way, but then others who would have followed suit might not adhere to the core thereby putting their health at risk.

He talked about the dangers of the surgery like urine inconsistency and so on. But nothing a good medical therapy won't handle.

But then, he ran for president. He was asked if he was cancer-free, he could not give a straightforward answer.

Most relapse can take years to occur. Sometimes even less than a year, and it hits worse the second time.

Sometimes, I try to read up on this cancer stuff, research bla bla. But I'm not a medical student and its really a lot of information to digest.

Sometimes even healthy living might not be the solution. Dr. Esselstyn and his diet come to mind.

"If Truth doesn't exist then it would be True that truth doesn't exist, and once again we arrive at Truth. There's no alternative; Truth must exist".

When God wants to drill a man,
And thrill a man,
And skill a man
When God wants to mold a man
To play the noblest part;

When He yearns with all His heart
To create so great and bold a man
That all the world shall be amazed,
Watch His methods, watch His ways!


How He ruthlessly perfects
Whom He royally elects!
How He hammers him and hurts him,
And with mighty blows converts him


Into trial shapes of clay which
Only God understands;
While his tortured heart is crying
And he lifts beseeching hands!


How He bends but never breaks
When his good He undertakes;
How He uses whom He chooses,
And which every purpose fuses him;
By every act induces him
To try His splendor out-
God knows what He’s about.

I don't suppose that Dr Ravi wrote this poem but as far as I know he won't preach without at least alluding to it. For me it has become like a creed...A code with which I have lived by for over 11 years now. Needless to point out how refreshing those words always feel whenever I say them out loud in my darkest moments.

During my undergrad days, whenever I have a depressing bout I'd just lay on my bed and then put on Dr Ravi's podcast on my phone, as his soothing voice dissects God's word of hope and truth. 1000/1000 I wake up refreshed and happy to face the new day and its challenges.

The World has lost an end time General, a Quintessential Apologist, a most logical mind and a great great man of God. Aside the death of my father, I don't think the demise of anyone else has gotten to me half as much as this.
Rest in perfect Dr. Ravi Zacharias. May God grant Mag and your kids the fortitude to bear this monumental loss. Amen!

Saints don't die.

Where can I see the poem?

A lot of things can aggregate different types of cancers. Most of us are lucky to escape the disease or for it not to progress into a metastasized state where it spreads from it's initial location.

His death is not a minus, Ravi always talked about death and suffering in his messages. Right from when God met him on the verge of suicide to his struggles with his health. Every Christian looks forward to the day they would meet their maker and those words, "Well done good and faithful servant..." will be their welcome.
