Praise Him Saints ! I know by now everyone heard about the Scandal with Bishop Long. There are questions on every hand. Fingers are pointed and tongues are wagging. My analysis-leave the man alone. Let he that without sin cast the first stone. Let's follow Bible principles in every area of our lives. The Bible says if a brother is taken in a fault, those who are followers  of Christ are to pray for his restortion back into the fold. If we are going to be Judge and Jury then there is no need for GOD.

Let's just make sure we don't slip or fingers will be pointing at us. If we say we are christians- let's act like it. I began praying as soon as I heard, for Mercy right or wrong. For understanding right or wrong. For compassion right or wrong. You never know when it is going to be your turn. Does this make me a better Christian than everyone else. No - it means I practice what I preach. We as leaders are to be held accountable for other believers impressionable nature. We preset certain attitudes in our lifestyle. Make sure you set the right example for others to follow. God Bless!

Please take out time to read each lawsuit of these young men. Please read what God's word says about Christians and what we need to stand for. Let's take God's Word into full conderation and not our opinions.
WAKE UP CHRISTIANS!
As I follow this case and have read all four lawsuits in detail….I keep thinking in my mind.”These poor boys” … I feel sorry for them either way it turns out. Sorry for them if they are found to be liars and truly sorry for them if they turn out to be the victims. The bible speaks specifically about pervertness and various wicked activites that men do that are an abonmination. If found to be true what Eddie Long has engaged in was a strategic, intentional manipulation of the ministry and of young men. This is beyond just a non-perfect man and just slipping and engaging in sin. He has delve into various levels of witchcraft (bible refers to as manipulation)santanic activity(using ceremonies,sex) and these with particular victims not random (strategy). Again if found to be true he is a sick man and his followers need to re-evaluate their personal relationship with God the creator and not this man. There are also others according to the lawsuits that were knowledgeable of this perversion… may the Lord have mercy on their souls as accomplices. God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for the very perversion that is alleged. This is a big deal and it concerns me when a member of this ministry says they will support this man no matter if he is guilty or not.. That is cult mentality to the highest level. Do your research. Many who broke from cults were ostrisized by its members even when the leader was found guilty …. married girls ….had sex with girls and had babies by these girls… thier own mothers disowned them for standing up.
Now I must say the focus needs to be you these young men and their well being not Eddie Long’s … These boys are our future and many of them are still affiliated with this ministry and those who aren’t an truely need a male role model may now be very confused and not know who to turn to or trust.

Please follow this closely …. think about our future and do your research. … there is much more I could say … but ultimately this is a truly sad and unfortunate case for the body of Christ.
I concur. WAKE UP CHRISTIANS!!!
Jesus said for us to WATCH AND PRAY...Matt 26:41. The Bible says in Paul's writing in Rom 3:23; "For all have sinned, and come short of the Glory of God;". But, we are not to continue practicing that which we know is sin. For Paul writes again in Rom 6:1-2; "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid..."
One thing I have observed during my many years in the Church, is that man will knowing allow sinful behavior to go on in the Church unchecked due to a person's title, financial status, position or relationship, etc. I respect a person more that will hold me accountable. Yes, it's uncomfortable to see yourself, but if you truly desire to live pleasing God your willing to take the chastening and correction in Godliness. We serve a God that is of NO RESPECTER of PERSONS, Jam 2:1.
I was asked what I thought of the event concerning Bishop Long. My reply was that I hope it is not true because I enjoy the Bishop's ministry. But if it is true, I would not continue to follow a man of perversion. I experienced a hurtful event in my Christian life as a babe in Christ after six months in the Lord, (1983). My Pastor during that time, ran-off with the Church secretary leaving his wife and two young children. The secretary was pregnant by him. I know all to well the emotions the individual and church body go through because the shepherd of a flock cause a great offense that hurt the sheep of God, Matt 18:6. To often people want to raise up and defend the offender and make comparisons to King David, (repented and did not make comparisons of fault to other people), or the persecution of Paul (persecuted for righteousness not sinful behavior), etc. But I would caution you, (I'm talking especially to men), that The Only True and Wise God through Christ Jesus does not and will not wink at the sins of men as though they will go unchecked. Yes, ...God is "not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance", 2Pet 3:9. Bishops, Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastor and Teacher, Deacons... are held to a higher standard of conduct. Read the word God gave the Prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel concerning the false Priest, Prophets, and Pastors misleading His Sheep. God dealt and will deal with them all. Read Matt 24:11-13; II Tim 3:1-5; I Joh 4:1-2.
I recently moved my membership to another ministry in Christ. I served six years at a Church that had 700 to 1000 active members. They began to drop in number and our Bishop was moving the Church to a larger facility. However before we mover, there were about 100 members left. I found out a few years later what had occurred. We were being told the people were no-longer with this vision or God moved the multitude to do a great work with the few. However, again I experienced a situation of a leader (Bishop) do perverted behavior. He was sleeping with several women and misusing the Church money while accusing the ministry staff for the people leaving. I remained until God open a greater door for I and my family to move to safety, (a greater ministry we are now involved). Christians must build there relationship on the foundation of Christ Jesus and no other, lest you will not be able to stand as God remove the covering of greater sins being committed by they who say they are called to preach the Gospel and anointed with the Holy Ghost. We are to judge the behavior. Jesus said for us to judge righteous judgment, John 7:24 '"Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment". Pray for me and my family. God Bless You All in these times and the times to come.
God is not pleased with what is going on in the body of christ...the church. He is uncovering and revealing it all...NOTHING will be hidden according to the Word of God. We say we should not judge...The Bible Judge MAN and it is there for correction. When I say homosexuality is an obmination..it is not my opinion...it is in the Written Word to which I BELIEVE. When the Word of God say we are cleansed from sin, I BELIEVE it, whether I go out and sin and ask for forgiveness, God say WE SHOULD NOT SIN. Repent is TURNING AWAY...not turning back. We say Christ lives on the inside and we sin, we lie, because God CANNOT DWELL in sin. God's word say that the road is narrow and FEW will get in...huuuuummmm what few you must ask yourself. Every man can say they are not perfect, but we make God a liar, because God say we are perfect in Him. If He dwells in us and we abide in Him...then that makes us perfect, when we LIVE ACCORDING TO HIS WORD. We must stop taking the Word of God and change it to our understanding...God Said It, I Believe It and that Settles It. God says serve righteousness like we serve sin...well then protect righteousness like we protect sin. UNDERSTAND that you can live a Holy life if Christ truly lives on the inside. We say we all fall short and have sinned...YES, but this is the reason that God came down off His thrown to dwell amongst us, to be an example...same thing was happening, there is nothing NEW under the sun...Christ knows all the temptations that we face, because He faced them...IT WAS ALL HUNG ON THE CROSS with HIM....why do we keep crucifying our Lord??? If He died for the sins of the world then why do we keep acting like sin is the overcomer???? We must stop assisting each other in our wrong doings and say what the scripture say...Its not hard, God say it in His Word...Take His Yoke for it is EASY. If we TRULY OBEY God and put our flesh to death DAILY then we will live Holy according to the Word of God. This is not my saying it is Gods word. Christ say if you love me you will keep my commandments, if you don't you are of your father (the devil). This is not me criticising no one, it is the Word of God instructing us.

Look at Genesis...when God made man (adam) gave him instructions, but adam DISOBEYED and remember in the garden east of eden, there were 2 trees in the midst The Tree of Life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Man chose to eat of the tree of knowledge. Still to this day, man refuses to eat of the living word...the tree of life...what a darn shame we have it so difficult huh???? I am not judging either, its ALL in the Word of God. Mans disobedience to do the Will of God. but man has lip service. We can live holy and free of sin...Because Jesus came, died and rose.

Lord I love you and adore you and magnify your name....thank you for your love, peace, grace and mercy. Allow me to continue to die daily, even though I am not all I should be, you give me a chance to make it right each and every day you awake me with your air. I love you Lord and I pray that we all will do your will and serve one another as you have commanded.

As for Brother Long, he will have to answer to God for his disobedience. He will have to face God at judgment time like we all do and God is no respector of person and God do have judgement for us ALL. I just pray that as Jesus spoke to the women who many were accusing..."Go and sin no more", this is the only thing that we can say to brother Long, because he will face the Lord our God, just like us ALL.

In Love Sis. Denise
HMMM .please let us joined together and pray for our brother Eddie Long. instead of trowing stone on him, who is perfect?
He is human, let us show LOve to him, eddie long is our brother, Jesus did not condem the adultress woman, Hmm I have one quetions , why christians dont LOVE one another, but allways rejoice when their brother or sister fall. beloved we are one

I want to send a prayer to, Bishop Long,personal and church family. I am not the one to point finger because we all have skeleton in our closet,whether we are in leadership or not. I been a fellower of A.A. Allen, Jim Baker etc..But through it all Christ will be their.We all will be trial by the devil just like Job. Jesus tell us in His Word to pray for one another. If we fall the Bible tell us to get back up. Just think of a man like, Bishop Long, Knowing the Word Of God can lead thousands of soul to Christ.*** King David was a man after,God, own heart, he was falsely accuse ,God, restored him. He committ a crime only,God, knew it until he reveal it to the prophet. God, restored Him again. (2 Peter 3: 9)** tell us that the, Lord, willing that any should perish,that all should come to repentance. If you are serving,Christ,your day will come.**** Remember you reap what you sow, so don't throw stone that may come back to haunt you. So let BPN Family show our LOVE toward him .E-mail, send letter,phone call etc. Let him and his personl and church family know that we are standing with them*** May The Peace Of Christ Be Upon You And Your Family In Jesus Name.

Apostle Mary Smith
Can Bishop Long be restored without his confessing what he has done, and his making whatever restitution he can to his victims?
When ever events such as this occur some think that silence will cause it to pass. Well, all to often people are being hurt by Bishops, Pastors, Prophets, Apostles, Evangelists, Teachers, Deacons, Ministers, Elders, Missionaries, Priests, etc. There are perverted and corrupt people with these positions and titles in the church world, (TRUE). This is beyond Bishop Long. I don't know if he is guilty or not. But I do know the truth will come out. And prayer is needed for Bishop Long and family and church and also for these young men whose souls yet belong to God. God love them as much as Bishop Long. I know there are certain scriptures people want to use to favor a person and one is pertaining to the woman caught in the act of adultery (John 7:1-11). Jesus did not excuse her sinful act. Yes we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. But He told her, "Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more". Even the one at the Pool of Bethesda (John 5:14), Jesus told him; "Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee". It's not about judging the individual, but we are to judge the behavior. Jesus said to "Judge righteous judgment'. God is not going to allow His sheep to continue to be offended without judgment. We can pray, fast, read the bible, go to church, witness, etc concerning church. But we cannot close our eyes to the things that are happening and yet to come upon and attack the Church. God's word says the Law is for the lawless. If the church people do not do their part in Christ, the world is waiting to takeover for them in an ungodly way. God, have mercy on us all???
Confessing to who???? Going to God and repenting (seriously) yes, he can be restored. But, if he has done this wrong, we all must pay for everything that we do...it might not come when we want, or someone else want, God shall repay saith the Lord. Bro. Long owes the world nothing...nor a confession. Now if he has done wrong to those young men...then according to the Word of God, he must go to them and ask for forgiveness....and he should not take communion before doing so, because according to the Word of God, he bring damnation upon himself.

Prayer for righteousness needs to go forth from the body of Christ and what God reveals, we have no say in the matter, just revelation and we shall thank God for it and then the persons under his ministry will have to do what is in their heart or do what the Word of God say. If this is a true matter, God has revealed it and has given a choice to the followers and they shall not say in the last days that they did not know. May God bless Bro. Long and given him the strength to endure any misgivings, because this not only effects the body of Christ, but his family...God have mercy and allow any brokeness to be fixed.

So, yes, the Bro. can be restored if he repents and turn away and sin no more, if he has done this wrong.

In Love, Sis. Denise
Joseph Gill,

You ask, "Can Bishop Long be restored without his confessing what he has done, and his making whatever restitution he can to his victims?"
Who has proved that Bishop Long has done anything wrong? Maybe yes, maybe no.
You sound like you think he's guilty, to the point of being uder condemnation, even before the facts are heard. Why can't you just take a neutral stand about this situation and see what comes of it? You are not his judge. Only God is and Bishop Long is anwerabe to God and not to you. To his own master he stands or falls.
Will you find it in your heart to still love him if he confesses or he is determined to be guilty without a doubt? Going even further, will you still love him regardless of the outcome, or will you allow the shadows of accusation linger on in your heart.

Louis
GOD BLESS YOU SISTER I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU THEY NEED TO LEAVE BISHOP EDDIE LONG ALONE AND THEY NEED TO ASK FOR FORGIVESS ON THEIR SOULS FOR JESUS CHRIST THE ALMIGHTY IS THE JUDGE NOT THEM AND HE SAID YOU WHO HAVE NO SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE AND THEY ALL LEFT. WE AS HUMANS ARE NOT ABOVE JESUS AND WE CAN'T DO HIS JOB FOR HIM FOR HE IS THE ONE AND ONLY JUDGE AND NONE OF US ARE HOLY ENOUGH TO JUDGE ANY OTHER HUMAN ON EARTH SO SINNERS WHO ARE JUDGING BISHOP EDDIE LONG OF THIS YOU DESPERATELY PRAY THAT JESUS WILL FORGIVE YOU AND HAVE MERCY ON YOU! GOD BLESS PROPHET MARTY OAS.
