the black community is over ran with black on black crime because negroes love to defend criminals, instead of victims.

@attorneymom no disrespect to you or any of Eddie Long’s congregation but in my opinion the title "Where do WE go from here after the Bishop Long Scandal" is absolutely positively RIDICULOUS! If the Pastor turns out to be the devil himself his congregation should do what they should have been doing all along and that is have faith in JESUS CHRIST. Eddie Long and any other Pastor is a man/woman just like the rest of us. We all have to have a relationship with God for ourselves. I’m not trying to preach but when you truly think about it, it’s disturbing and we all need to sit back and evaluate our personal relationship with God b/c if we are worshiping a man we have all missed God and no matter how many days of the week we go to church and jump up and down it’s just a waste of time b/c when one of your own is in need of prayer and the congregation is too weak to stand on the word of God and can not apply the power of God you might as well shut that building (supposed church) DOWN!

Uhm…who is Nina Brown and Jaylon? Where THEY come from? @yourstruely

@Attorneymom I believe you missed the point of my comment but if you feel there is a need to have a show b/c some member’s of his congregation faith in God has been shaken b/c of what their Pastor may/may not have done, I wish you well but please know that they will forever be disappointed and shaken if their faith is in a man.

Everyone has an opinion and a mind of their own. I am a faithful New Birth member and I too, love my Bishop. I don’t worship "Bishop", I worship GOD. I love New Birth because of the "word" that I receive through Bishop Eddie Long. Am I wrong for not immediately believing the allegations? No, I don’t think so. I pray each and everyday for all parties involved in this and I am awaiting the truth also. So please people, don’t be so QUICK to judge someone if they don’t share the same opinion as you. So many people are speaking so negative about New Birth members. Why? We are not the only church that love the Lord and is not afraid to shout it out and express it the way that we do. I’m sure there will be some of you with a lot of negative responses to me, but guess what…I sleep soundly at night because I know I have a loving, forgiving, and nonjudgemental God….Goodnight…and may God Bless….

Wow…why do people say you are not supposed to be judgemental. I mean you shouldn’t judge someone and send them to hell in your opinion (this is condemnation) but it is perfectly OK to judge. Why? Well, when you go to a job interview, dont they judge how you speak, your appearance, your education background and "decide" if you are right for the job…when you go to the Golden Corral Buffet dont you look around and "judge" and see if they have something you want or if it even looks appetizing enough for you to pay your good money to eat there. Well, in the same manner we are to judge people down here on earth, but not damn them to hell. The Bible says, 1Thessalonians 5:12
And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;

How can we know them if we dont do the next thing the scripture says, read on…
1Thessalonian 5:21
But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good;

So we have to know those people that we are calling brothers and sister in Christ, and if they are telling us a good word that is true then that is good, but whatever is not good we can’t still call it good…If Eddie gave a good Word at church then praise God because that is very possible because God’s word is ALWAYS Good, but if Eddie is doing these monterous things we have to call it what it is..and that is ‘judging’.. When you go to your family reunion do you let your kids go hug "uncle Lester, Child Molester"?…No, you judge and say ay..this man is not one to be around my kids..u are not saying he will never get it right and he will go to hell..but for right now you know that is not a good idea because you looked at the situation and made an educated decision based on facts of him touching people in the past and having a wondering eye. So, it is okay to judge this situation based on facts and it is ok to judge anybody on earth according to the word of God. God IS the judge, and when we leave this earth we will be judged by his Word. It is an open book test, we don’t have to go to hell because all the answers are in the Word and it can keep us on the right path if we follow it. Everything that we do on earth be it good or bad will be tested by fire and our lives will be compared to Jesus on that day…Let’s study to show ourselves approved.

Yes @Tender..and i hope that if it doesn’t come back favorable or if Eddie were to finally admit to these accusations, that you won’t lose sight of God and your faith in Him, because men will fail you…that is why we can’t lean on the arm of the flesh..it is not strong enough to hold us up..it will let you down everytime. But God is never failing. I actually still hope that it’s not true…so God bless you.
