On Sunday, Bishop Eddie Long addresses his congregation and the public for the very first time since the sex allegations.

Megachurch leader Bishop Eddie Long publicly spoke for the first time since the sex scandal allegations that he had sexual relationships with young men at this Youth Academy. Four men who are believed to have been teens when the sexual relations began, claim that Bishop Eddie Long lured them by offering jewelry, cars, gifts, luxury hotel suites and more, as covered on www.HipHopRx.com.

The young men were once students of his LongFellows Youth Academy where young adult men are taught to be responsible and learn about investments, Social Security, health and fitness, sexual control, amongst other things.

Early Sunday morning, Bishop Eddie Long, 57, a well-known advocate against homosexuality, addressed the congregation at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in suburban Atlanta along with visitors and stated that he will be putting up a fight against the accusations. The preacher stated that he is not a perfect man, but he is not the man that everyone is portraying him in media and on television. “That’s not me,” stated Bishop Eddie Long.

Bishop Eddie Long went on to compare himself to David and Goliath in the bible and says that he has 5 rocks that he hasn’t thrown yet, which makes a person wonder what does he have in store for his alleged victims which has accused of him of having an ephebophilia relationship.

The sex scandal of Bishop Eddie Long is being somewhat compared to that of Ted Haggard who stepped down from his church in 2006 after a masseur and prostitute named Mike Jones alleged that he had a sexual relationship with Haggard for three years. Haggard denied any sexual infidelity, but he admitted he had used crystal meth. Ted Haggard, former pastor of the 13,000 member church, New Life Church in Colorado Springs, told AOL News that Bishop Eddie Long deserves a fair hearing and no one should be rushing to judge him.

Meanwhile, Bishop Eddie Long reminded the congregation that they were at church today and every Sunday morning and that he’ll be at church next week, while keeping everyone wondering if he would inform them if he had ever had any sexual relationship with any of the alleged victims.

The plantiffs in the Bishop Eddie Long sex scandal case are Maurice Robinson,20; Anthony Flagg,21; Jamal Parris, 23; and Spencer LeGrande, 22.

If he is gulty, then the word of God will bring what is done in the Darkness into the Light.
If he is innocent, he will be vindicated by God.
Judge not lest you be judged. The four young men had better be honest because God says to touch NOT mine annointed. The Devil is always seeking whom he can devour. Santan only has little time left before the coming return of the Lord. He seeks to divide families, hate in our young people, race riots and anything he can do. His main objection is to tear down, not build up.
Pray that you will be ready for God’s return, and Pray for the U.S. We are in dire repentence for trying to remove God from our lives and world.

I am the man who exposed Haggard. Because of me having the guts to come forward have allowed Grant Haas and these young man to come forward. If not for me this story would not have legs or credibility. MIke Jones

My comment is very simple! If he DID indeed do this; let’s go ahead and admit to it so that the healing process can began for both he and the victims. We should not be in denial about the existence of these type situations, when we KNOW our churches have been plagued with gays and lesbians for many years. We know this because, some of them are our family members, friends, relatives, etc. We can no longer sit on our selves, pretend, and deny! We as the Body of Christ MUST start interceeding for those who are being attacked by this spirit…a spirit that is not of GOD!!!! One thing is very certain, GOD will still get some Glory out of this one way or another! GOD is not surprised nor is HE shocked about these turn of events. Neither should we!! Let us start praying for all of us to be delivered from sin…

s. willaims you think your church is plauged with gays and lesibians? i think its plauged with greedy preachers and opportunists. the only plague in that church is the predator who took young boys under his wing under the guise of ministering to them, drugged them, and did illegal and immoral things to them because they were not of age, he threatened them, and drugged them. he probably told the mothers ‘yes i can make them ‘ungay’ or some kind of nonsense.
the only ‘plague’ is the bootleg preacher, who has taken advantage of vulnerable people while playing on their superstition that salvation can be undone by human nature while simultanously commiting a grievious sin, being a fake phropet.
