All Hail King Eddie Long

February 3rd, 2012 - By Brande Victorian

Bump the meek inheriting the earth. Bishop Eddie Long is a king, and he’s got the $60,000 scrolls and the anointing from Rabbi Ralph Messer to prove it.

According to Eurweb, the bishop made his return to New Birth Jan. 29, after taking a leave of absence late last year following accusations of child molestation. Of course, Eddie couldn’t just make any old return to the sanctuary, he had a Rabbi wrap him in 300-year-old sacred scrolls that were discovered about 70 years ago outside a concentration camp in Germany, as he was pronounced a king in God’s government. Subesquently, four men, representing the four corners of the earth, raised him in the air and carried him across the stage on their shoulders.

This was by far the most dramatic production I’ve ever seen in church but I guess that’s what you earn when you’re “no longer a commoner.” Shout outs to the lighting director.

Check out the “king’s” anointing below (they don’t raise him in the air until around the 7-minute mark). Is it safe to say as far as Newbirth is concerned, all is forgiven?

    religion is a joke. this is the punchline.

  • MixedUpInVegas

    This man is a disgrace any all people of the cloth.  I’m frankly amazed that the church wasn’t struck by lightening during this outrageous performance!

  • YeahIWentThereCuzICan

    Alas…..more proof that “a lot of mental instability is well-veiled by the cloak of religiousity”. As a descendant of Afrika and a male, why his pen*s is still attached to his body will remain one of my more-notable Unsolved Mysteries. Why a petition to whatever respective organization has ordained this sick f–k of a ———ker hasn’t been generated by those closely connected to the innocent young men whose minds and sexual perception he has forever tainted….to disable his certified authorization to continue leading the blind over the inevitable cliff…..phew.

    I think this is a joke , blasphemy. and  insults both Christianity and
    Judaism.

  • V.X.R.

    This is disturbing on so many levels. 

  • Ms_Sunshine9898

    This fool has a lot of nerve promoting this foolishness after everything he has drag that church through! Jesus be a fence around that church because the devil is attacking!

    WE ARE LIVING IN THE LAST DAYS…., People please understand that SATAN is working overtime.. Please read and understand your bible AND ASK THE LORD FOR WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE COURAGE AND UNDERSTANDING while your reading your bible, so you can spot the counterfeits of life ……My prayers go out to the members of New Birth…

    As Paul said to the Galatians, “O you foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you?”  Pray for the congregation of New Birth. 

  • Disgusted

    Can you say Cult !!!  SMH The devil is a liar !!!!

    • guest

      It certainly looks like a cult in the making…

  • Nikkinick

    I understand “forgiveness” because all have sinned. But after everything he’s gone through, I expected a more humbled Eddie Long. God gave him a second chance and this was his opportunity to let God shine but instead Eddie made it all about himself SAD

  • Akamissj

    Wow! This is an abomination and I’m shocked none of those people in that church saw anything wrong with any of this! I would have walked out. They must be brainwashed… SMH. Crazy!

    I was so angered and disgusted when I first saw this video. I couldn’t understand how so many people are being deceived by this man, then I realized that God’s word promises us that these things will happen… If you are reading this and you are not a Christian (and even if you are a Christian), please know that what is displayed on this video is NOT OF GOD.  A spirit-led minister DOES NOT allow himself to be exalted in the way we see here. Anybody who has read and understood the Bible, and especially the gospels, for themselves can see this. Not everyone who claims the name of Christ is actually a Christ-follower. Eddie Long is NOT qualified to be a bishop–he is an unrepentant liar who cannot manage his own home–how can he be responsible in any way for a congregation? Believers, pray for the members of New Birth that God will give them discernment and they come out from under this false teacher and the spirits that he has invited into their midst.
