Who really needs to forgive Eddie Long?

if anyone thinks that bishop Eddie Long shouldn't apologise is wrong to say the least. What he's done is wrong and he should admit to it, but what do we expect from someone who does something like this and still pretends to be a man of God. How can anyone take him seriously again. As they say what ever you do in secret will come out in the light. he should be ashamed.

i am a christian from the caribbean and i am so saddened by these occurrences. i think he should apologize but God sees and knows all things. i have viewed bishop long on tbn and he came across to me as a real anointed man of God. one of reasons it so saddens me is that i feel let down in that it has stained the people of christiandom.it will shake the faith of even steadfast believers,cause the new converts to backslide or think that they dont have to relinquish their besetting sins. and ordinary secular people will doubtless feel empowered into believng that its ok to continue in their sinful ways.i feel a great loss over this. But i hold in my heart that Jesus Christ is lord and man whoever they might be are imperfect.

This man, Bishop Eddie Long, does not need to apologize to you, me, his congregation or anyone else other than to God and his family. It is apparent that this man has a problem if in fact these allegations are true. In the church is where you find people with real demons and they need help. The church and or its leadership need to be trying to help save souls not condemn wait for an apology that probably will be contrived to say the least. If this man was able to stand before thousands of people day in and out preaching the "word" without any sign of guilt chame or regret, surely a conjured up apology will not make any difference. He is not the only minister with these types of issues.. To take on such a hugh responsibility as " Delivering the word of God " in itself is not somthing normal people would not do if they were not completely convicted. Hince the problems with preachers, priests, apostles and bishops. To take on such a huge responsibility while knowing you will continue to covet perversions is just insanity. So he should recognize that he is a sick man in need of help from God. Not sick because he is probably bi-sexual, but sick because he knew that what he was doing was wrong and that it would eventually be brought out and that did not stop him he continued down that path. Insanity is what it is. People get real, people are capable of pretty much anything he is just another man.

It's about time some high profile person calls for this man to be a man and say he's done wrong.
I'm amazed at people who are so concerned about the victimizer instead of the victims. These four men will have to go through years of counselling and attend a deliverance service or two before they'll even be able to get their heads around what actually happened to them. I hope the people at new birth have an ear for the voice of God.

I have held both these men in respect and have sat under their teaching. Today is a sad day when Bishop Morton posts the open rebuke that he has done on the internet. I am not saying don't rebuke Bishop Long but I feel in posting comments like 'I can't forgive something that he doesn't repent of' Thats just so wrong. The people who crucified Jesus were forgiven by Jesus and they did not repent. Having said all that I am very disappointed that Eddie Long has allowed himself to get into this mess. I feel sorry for the NewBirth members and Bishop Long's family. This should be a lesson to us all that we are careful especially as leaders and we should always be mindful that we are mere human beings who can fall at any time.
I do hope Bishop Long will apologise to his church for taking them into this very dark period in their church history.
