this is not true

Be careful about passing on lies.

Many have found God because of his ministries.

His church thrives because many of the so called traditional churches have given up on society and only teach each other. Only accept each other, only feed each other.

Jesus was a radically transforming person.

You might have called him out for hanging with the people he did.

Joel Olsteen is not the problem.

Evangelism is the problem. People are not talking about the great things of God. They are talking about what other Christians should and should not be doing.

Of what benefit does this produce?

Show me proof of what you are saying. Then I will believe you.

Do you belong to his church? Do you attend the classes that go on at the church all week long?

Every thing I have posted is true. All you have to do is look on Google or Youtube. My unrepentant Homosexual friend, whom I have witnessed to and tried to point to Jesus, loves Lakewood. If you cannot see through Joel Osteen in his 10 million dollar mansion, how will you see through the Anti-Christ when He comes?

Jeremiah 6: 13 For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely. 14 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly , saying , Peace, peace; when there is no peace. 15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed , neither could they blush : therefore they shall fall among them that fall : at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down , saith the LORD.

Jan: if you are a Christian and you are attending Lakewood Church, you need to get out. Joel Osteen is a false teacher who is leading people to hell...
1. He never talks about sin and repentance
2. If you best life can be now, why do we need heaven?
3. He calls Barack Obama a Christian and denied Jesus on National Television
4. He has publicly supported the Sodomite Mayor of Houston 5. Said Sodomites can go to heaven
6. Repeatedly denies the main focus of the Gospel
7. Consistently watered down and distorted Biblical teaching
8. Believes the purpose of human life is to glorify yourself and not God
9. Says Allah is the same as the God of the Bible
10. I have a Homosexual friend who I have tried to lead to repentance, but he moved to Joel Osteen's Church and loves it there because he says "no one judges him"
...the list goes on...

Texas: this is not true...Be careful about passing on lies...Joel Olsteen is not the problem.

It's all true and more, Texas4ever. What isn't true is that Joel Olsteen has ever been the pastor of Lakewood Church. If you don't know his last name, can you be expected to accurately understand his teaching?

Your response shows just exactly how ignorant of the things of G-d the people who sit under the teachings of this man are.

Allow me to point out 2 big errors in your comment.

1.) There is only 1 church and it is NOT “his” (joel’s) church.

The ‘Church’ is the body of The Lord Jesus and it is His Church. This is why Paul (telling Christians how the should act) says: “do not say I'm of Apollos or of Paul, For it is G-d that makes the seed grow.”

Which bring me to my second point....

2.) if you've ever read the New Testament then you would know 2/3 of it are simply letters. Letters to churches on how they should act. Further more, in Revelation 3, Jesus warns the church of His judgement because of heir deeds.

I'm assuming the “great things of God” you're referring to is “gods best” being rich and not content with what you have.
Paul actually instructs the church to be content and the 10th commandment says do not covet. Jesus warned in Matthew 13 about the “deciept of wealth” and even said you cannot serve mammon (money) and G-d. So no my friend, evangilsm is not the problem. The problem is actually the opposite. It is the lack thereof and a lack of conviction. Conviction of our sins... And do you know who bring that convictions???? The Holy Spirit. So if there is no conviction in the message you are hearing then the problem may be worse than simply the words your listening to. The benefit of this is keeping brothers and sisters accountable to Christ! All scripture is used for teaching AND rebuking! It's not used to spin it for your selfish desires.
