Oh well you should probably leave this thread and go make yourself feel better by watching ApostOsteen then because it really is good satire.

Not funny at all.
He’s plastic. Preacher-man Ken.
That thread said nothing about the fact they think that Jesus and Lucifer were brothers in heaven, unless I missed it. They in fact were not. Lucifer is a created being and Jesus has always been.
My post was in response to the above comment.
Thank you. I am sorry if I appeared to be correcting you.
Osteeen denies the Atonement of Christ and teaches a concept of faith that comes straight from the witchcraft of Madame Blavatsky's theosophy, being that faith is a universal force in the universe like gravity, and that you can harness that force, attach it to your words, and use it to create your own reality.
That concept is pure witchcraft.
You forgot the sarcasm tag: /s
Many focus upon the wealth he accumulated. So what? Have you ever viewed the collection of biblical texts he purchased with much of the funds sent to him, and have you listened to him while he expounded the precious value of parallel texts that verify the context and teaching of the Bible? One of the ancillary values of a man like Gene Scott is the opportunity to see a man with his flaws still being the tool of the Almighty. In the end, there is only one like him this side of Paul, who one can rightly surmise opened the Septuagint texts to a lost world, and whom still opens the Gospel of Grace to anyone willing to read.
There are three or four sermons Scott preached that are unrivaled in History! The truths are so clearly revealed that even I could write the message for you at the drop of a hat, like the resurrection sermon he preached every Easter. His teaching in Romans has yet to be fully appreciated. Perhaps Melissa can get it into manuscript form int he not so distant months, for edification of the world.
For the record, Osteen is a conman who may have actually come to believe his own lies. And of course, his prosperity hooey has made him very prosperous. One thinks of that scripture verse about gainign the whole world but losing one's soul. Kind of like the 'purpose driven' wealth of another con artist draped in a false christianity robes.
LOL! Priceless. Someone better ping the Q-man! I’m not gonna...
Osteen has also been criticized for not having any theological training. Osteen has received a BA in television production, but did not study theology or religion in college, and has never attended a Seminary.[18]

I’ve never heard of him, so I did a Google.
You are right about Gene Scott!
He was one of a kind and a superb teacher!
For more insight on how to determine the deceptive lies that spew forth from Joel’s mouth, I submit:

It is the nature of deception for the one being deceived to be ignorant of his condition.
He can’t preach his way out of a paper bag. May as well replace him with Tony Robbins or Stuart Smalley.

Here’s a treat that you are sure to enjoy. Listen to this (9:30) audio clip Paul Washer vs Joel Osteen and see if you can spot a difference in their theologies. Thanks to Way of the Master Radio (WOTM) for putting this audio together (and my wife for finding it).
You’re kidding, right?
Osteen is a huckster who would make Elmer Gantry proud.
HA! Exactly.
