Long speaks, does not deny
Baptist televangelist Eddie Long said Sunday he will fight allegations that he coerced young male church members into having sex with him.
Baptist televangelist Eddie Long said Sunday he will fight allegations that he coerced young male church members into having sex with him.
Speaking publicly about the accusations for the first time, Long did not address the specific allegations contained in four lawsuits filed against him earlier this week.
Long gave 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. sermons on Sunday. They were essentially the same. Eliciting chuckles from the audience, Long began both by joking, "I gotta talk to my family" of worshippers before addressing what other "folk" -- meaning media -- were there to hear.
Both sermons focused on "understanding painful situations."

re: "understanding"
It seems that the stage has been set for a very public discourse on the topic of homosexuality and Christianity. Close attention paid to what Long actually said in his first public statement since the allegations were brought forth are very revealing. Long has vowed to fight. What exactly is it that he says he will fight? According to the way it is worded in this article, Long says that he will fight the "allegations that he coerced young male church members...". Not having denied the actual deeds, it seems to suggest that he may try to claim that whatever happened was "consensual". To make the situation even more bizarre, Long then goes on to preach two sermons on "understanding painful situations".

Understanding? Doesn't that really mean acceptance?
There is some serious darkness here. It is straight from the NWO's "Sodomization of Christendom" script [here]. The curtain has opened and the dramatic playact has begun. It's nasty already, and it can only get worse from here. Get out of Sodom now professing Christian [i.e. Lot]!
