It shocks us that Bishop Eddie Long would suddenly apologize to a Jewish group and not to his alleged victims. There were too many accusations against him for those who paid a lot of money for his CD's, DVD's and books not to hear him apology to his alleged victims. We wonder how Bishop Eddie Long's alleged victims feel, after hearing he was so quick to apologize to a Jewish group, he offended through a ceremony that appeared to crown him as a king, but will not stand before the nation to apologize for the distraction, he allegedly caused within the Kingdom of God and along with allegedly offending these young men. Okay, we did hear New Birth spokesperson's alleged claim on this following video that Bishop Eddie Long was not crowned king, but 'the presentation of the Scroll of Torah was to a man who had given his life to the Lord and had given so much to his church'. Really? Then why did the Rabbi Ralph Messer say these words: "He is a king. God's blessed him. He's a humble man, but in him is kingship, royalty,"
We are not saying Bishop Eddie Long should apologize for something he did not do; however, these four or five young men have been all claiming he molested them when they were young teenagers. So, why is this Jewish group more important than him than all of these young men who claim he violated them? It seems like Bishop Eddie Long is so afraid to offend this Jewish group, but not offendthose whom have allegedly claimed he coerced them into same sex relations. Bishop Eddie Long seems to consider this Jewish group more than his own race of young black men whom once looked up to him as their father figure. Bishop Eddie Long's quick response to the Anti-Defamation Jewish group wounded feelings also seems to be more important to him than how God feels about what has occurred to cause shame within His Kingdom. This case with this Torah being wrapped around him and him allegedly being raised up to Kingship was just another distraction. After all, King Jesus is the only royal authority there is, above all humanity. We are waiting for Bishop Eddie Long to say he is sorry for this recent distraction to the body of Christ, including the previous ones. If not, we can understand why so many black men do not make time for church, simply because those elders whom took the place of a father in their life cared more about other people, instead of their very own race whom they allegedly abused. This spiritual matter concerns God and should concern the body of Christ, because it is hard to witness to young black men like the alleged victims of Bishop Eddie Long, after their emotions have not been ignored, after being allegedly molested by a man with such power, fame and fortune. We are the body of Christ and we must bring up this issue, so these alleged victims of Bishop Eddie Long will know someone cares, although he may never give them an apology for alleged sexual molestation. We heard Jamal Parris and Spencer Legrande open up about their pain on televised news and they were not ashamed to do so. However, we have not heard a one on one interview with Bishop Eddie Long discussing this matter before the nation, allegedly. If there was a one-on-one interview, them somehow we missed it and we are sorry for that. There are many young black men who feel as though God does not love them, after powerful men of great ministries like Bishop Eddie Long may have touched them as they were suppose to only touch their wives. These young black men can overcome by the blood of the Lamb, but the right thing to do is for Bishop Eddie Long to show He cares just as much as He does about this Jewish group whom was offended over his ceremony. This would not only make his alleged victims happy, but especially make God very happy.
