Bishop Eddie Long Scandal Update: Baptist Church Rocked

By ThirdAge News Staff

Posted September 22, 2010 11:15 AM

Bishop Eddie Long's scandal continues to unfold in national media attention. The prominent Baptist bishop in the Atlanta area used his stature to pressure young men into having sex, two lawsuits filed late Tuesday allege. The suits were filed in DeKalb County by two former congregation members against Bishop Eddie Long of the 10,000-seat New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia, WGA-TV, Atlanta, reported.

"Long utilized his spiritual authority to coerce certain young male members and employees of defendant New Birth into engaging in sexual acts and relationships," Maurice Robinson and Anthony Flagg, both in their early 20s, allege in their lawsuits.

The TV station said the suits claim other members of the megachurch probably didn't know what was going on but that church money was used to foster the relationships

Baptists don't have bishops.

Yeah, I'm a Baptist and I don't know of any Baptist church that has bishops. Just deacons and pastors/ministers.

This fellow Bishop Eddie he heads up a mega-church. He's on christian tv, etc. He's probably got an empire all to his own and not associated with any denomination but his own. He likely just uses the term 'baptist' in his church's name.

this is so sad. But it just goes to show that you can't trust those portions of the christian world that get the big financing and tv opportunities. He's a bit of a show-man and he's making money.

You cruise through christian tv now-a-days and they've got all these shows about how god will bless you with money and get rid of your debts, etc. Pat Robertson's 'prosperity doctrine'.

the bible says openly that if you persistently work hard, do your job, and in your off-time you still work on projects to improve your house, your business, etc., just keep working and in time you will be prosperous. It does not say if you believe in god, then you'll be prosperous. John the Baptist was said to be by jesus 'the greatest of the prophets'. and he lived his whole life in absolute poverty. He ate bugs to get by. His clothes were self-fashioned from animal hides. He had no job. Many of the disciples that jesus loved ended up being killed brutally. They did not get rich and prosper from their christian association.

The bible also warns many times that being rich is a problem in that it provides temptation and opportunity for evil. The bible repeatedly ridicules rich people and says openly that many will among the rich people will do evil.

But it is true that the bible encourages people to become prosperous - through their own actions.

all of this emphasis on money by the tv preachers is a bad thing.
