I like listening to but don’t always agree with Joel. Guess I’ll burn in hell.
Troll.
That’s between you and God.
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.
Scripture is pretty harsh on false preachers. Does that grate on you too? Tells us to be discerning.
Like I said, it’s between you and God.
This article tries to say that there is no salvation outside of faith in Jesus. He is wrong. The Catholic Church, which Christ founded, teaches that those who are invincibly ignorant may be saved even if they have no faith in Jesus.
Dump mega-churches Bump!
Why so much talk about Osteens today?
What the HELL are you talking about???? I’m a CRADLE Catholic.....Jesus said “I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, and THE LIFE”!!! geesh......who have you been talking to?
Cause Vicky stepped in it and set off a lot of discussion on the web.
It will die down soon enough.
Well I certainly am not a fan of Pope Benedict.
The continual attacks on the Osteens is like, to me, the FReepers who attack the tea party or Sarah Palin or Ted Cruz.
You don’t like him and his style, fine. GOD bless you. The continual attacks do nothing.
We just don’t know what that Dearest Son of God will have mercy on, but the invincibly ignorant have the best chance and the fallen Catholics the worst.....but that is ultimately depending on some guy that suffered hell for me, a pathetic sinner reconciled.
Joel Olsteen is leading people to experience the love of God to a certain layer. Some will stay there and some will seek a deeper relationship and knowledge or understanding of Jesus’ message....that is guided by the Holy Spirit and the individual listening to it.
Why fault a guy making money but preaching God? He attracts people that the priests and pastors elsewhere are failing to reach...by TV.....for the greater glory of God. He’s not St.s Gregory or Leo the Greats but he is still doing good for lonely people channel serfing passed sinful commercials and shows and sleeping in on Sundays. The wife is even less skilled.....like mine. So be it.
Cotton Candy preaching.....NO SUBSTANCE.
I’m a cradle Catholic, too.
We were taught that God was omnipotent, and that He is fair and just in all things.
Notice that in the Creed it says that Jesus went into the netherworld for 3 days. Why do you think He did?
A fair and just God would save those souls who had never heard His name through no fault of their own.
So what is wrong with the way he ends his broadcast?
Tell me.
LORD Jesus.
I repent of my sins.
Come into my heart.
I make You my Lord and Savior.
AMEN
Personally I have no problem with that. If it brings more closer to Christ, good!
