Victoria Osteen is wrong. “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy” :-)

"No, I’m a Prottie and have a very personal relationship with God. When I see these threads telling me...or others... that people like the Osteens shouldn’t be listened to, it grates on me."

Prisoner, he said he would attend a homosexual "wedding." There's nothing right about that, so why on earth would a Christian not call it out?

Scripture is pretty harsh on false preachers. Does that grate on you too? Tells us to be discerning.

Indeed. "Examine yourself" - John MacArthur. "The judgement of God upon them" - Paul Washer.

Did not Jesus stand with a prostitute and say, let he who is without sin cast the first stone?

The issue for a lot freepers is that Osteen and wife are pretty obvious in their money grubbing. But even worse we have to come to fr everyday and see his daily message promoted on the front page.

He did. Then He said, “Go and sin no more.”

Scripture instructs us to expose false teaching. So I don’t understand why you have a problem with doing so. Should a Christian attend a homosexual wedding?

Well turn the page! Who forces you to read the thread?

Why do you read it? Or do you want control so others who might like it shouldn’t see it?

There is a Quinn and Rose - conservative talk radio - daily thread.

It has been said they want to profit from their warroom website. Most leftists eagerly point that out.

So maybe we should dump the Q&R daily thread because some don’t like it?

Again, what is wrong with the Osteen’s prayer at the end of their program?

I wouldn’t but I also wouldn’t condem those who would.

Jesus did say go and sin no more. Would he have not helped save another soul? Would he have not done the same thing again, and again and again?

Would he have not done the same thing for another prostitute?

BTW this thread has been enjoyable for me. I go to work in a couple of hours and must get some sleep. If I can I’ll rejoin later.

But I do enjoy these threads.

You wouldn’t condemn those who would. Good grief.

Osteen said he would attend a homosexual wedding out of respect for the two people getting “married.” It has nothing to do with wanting to convert them, because, as he said, “He isn’t against anything.”

He might as well drive the getaway car at a bank robbery, or be the lookout for a friend who’s in bed with someone else’s wife.

It isn’t about Osteen, you know. We get caught up in cults of personality, and we just don;t like seeing anyone criticize a preacher we like. It’s about God and His word...no one else. He made it clear how abominable homosexuality is in His sight; if we celebrate it, we make ourselves just as detestable.

I agree. Osteen preaches often about abundance and the rewards of faith. It sure is a refreshing change of message from the lib churches that indirectly vilify wealth and success, and happiness for that matter. I may not hear everything I like from the Osteens, but Joel is uplifting.

I think you should learn a little theology. The Catholic Church DOES believe that those with zero faith in Jesus may be saved if their ignorance of Jesus is invincible.

He us uplifting because he is a motivational speaker.

He certainly doesn’t preach Scripture, except small fragments that fit his agenda.

Invincible ignorance! Add it to the long list of Catholic inventions. Yet, I do find its usage in Logic telling: “...a refusal to argue in the proper sense of the word, the method instead being to make assertions with no consideration of objections.”

Against such “invincible ignorance” I offer Scriptural evidence (who knew?) refuting Invincible Ignorance:

“For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.”—Romans 1
