Bishop Eddie Long Addresses His Congregation and Media (Part 1)

Bishop Eddie Long finally addresses his congregation and media, in the wake of allegations he coerce young men into sexual relationships. He declares, "I am not a perfect man - but this thing, I'm going to fight." More information about his message at www.gospelconnoisseur.com

[@rubenpina2193]

No Pastor should ever be glorified like this ever! My Pastor here at my home church just preached about this. Only one who should ever get a rise and praise in church is Jesus Christ, ever!

[@emilysanders1978]

AMEN!!!!!!!!!

[@imnotyourp]

That's what happens when you worship a man...He was a charismatic performer and all the blind people in the audience allowed him to continue his deceit. Paying $15 million for hush money after getting caught chasing all those young men's ding a lings??? HE didn't have $15 million dollars! That was the Lord's money. The Lord will not be mocked for long...or for Long. He held fast to all his lies til the very end because he started believing his "exalted position" as whatever title he gave himself. "Bishop", "Apostle", etc, etc. He was a clown putting on a show on Sundays but I guess that last lie about the Lord "came to him" and told him to eat only vegetables and that's why he lost all that weight....Nah playa.

He needed to repent and confess his sins if all of what he was being accused was true.

This is nothing more than a Cult. That WE (African_Americans) would praise and adulate this Man as a Super Pastor is very disturbing. But as you look at the Black Church Homosexualls are seen as Music Directors, and femine behaviour among Men is seen but excepted. This is like Jim Jones, or any other Man that puts himself in a Higher postion as God. Black Church's are prodominately filled with Woman, but many Black Men are ON THE DOWN LOW. Outwardly Manly, but behind doors, Gay. It is not exceptable to have a Same gender relationship, and the Black Man is seen as being strong, Manly, or what is called a MANDIGO!! Long is a SELFGLORIFY preditor of young Men, who acts like a Rockstar, Drives a Bentley, has more Bling Bling than many Rappers, and is "Leading this MegaChurch away from God as the Center of thier Lives. He has become the Center of thier Lives and that is not his function as a Pastor. I hope he goes to jail, and drops the soap.
