The notion that this Osteen miscreant is “America’s most popular pastor” is ridiculous.
Ping.
We all make gaffes. I've heard many an excellent preacher stumble, or misquote, from time to time. But this Facebook posting shows that Mr. Osteen is not spending time reading the Bible. If he was new to the faith - this would not be a problem. At his age, though, and being a Pastor, he should have read through the Bible, from cover to cover, at least one hundred times by now. Garbling the passages that he did, leads me to believe that he does not spend time with the Bible. And a pastor/minister that does not spend time with God - through prayer and reading God's Word - will be of no real help to his flock. Mr. Osteen may make people feel warm and fuzzy all over -- but you want a pastor that will lead you to Christ and lead you to eternal life.
Never been a fan of the “mega-Church” types. Haven’t seen one in it yet that isn’t in it for the money.
Yup. That is a big tip off.
You are so correct. Joel’s programs were so encouraging to me when I lost 3 close family members in 4 months.
Besides, people are misreading the scripture - the comment wasn’t meant to say that Moses knew all the other people in the events God was describing .. God was just saying .. look at these other events and see what I did for them, and that I’m willing to help you too.
So, some here should remember how to “... rightly divide the Word of Truth” .. then you might really have a reason to badmouth Joel Osteen.
Poor Joel. So rich to be so impoverished. The little guy reminds me of an adolescent, a pup wagging it’s little tail and no clue that the house is on fire.
Just— “Be Happy”. (Meanwhile, happily burying his well earned bone$.)
I wouldn’t buy a car from Joel, used or not.
Know who really scares me? Kenneth Copeland. That guy looks like a psychopath.
No matter how you don’t like it, he is the most popular pastor in the world. The article said he leads the biggest protestant church? The writer must be catholic who envies why millions and millions of catholics watch Joel Osteen TV regularly.

You wish they'd be a catholic mega church do you? Or some mega mosque if you don't like mega church?
“Claiming to be a Christian pastor it is odd he avoids any messages that deal with the Cross and Jesus’ atonement and God’s Word on homosexuality, adultery, and idolatry. I guess those are in a subscription membership to his church.”
He and the majority of American pastors. The pulpit is VERY quiet on those subjects.
As a Pastor, Osteen is held to a higher standard. One can hardly defend the fact that he made such a blatant error.
After a a quick web search...
If you don’t like Joel Osteen you will HATE Tristyn Bloom.
But go ahead and use her as a source for Osteen bashing.
Kinda like the people who bash Sarah.
Numbers 11:23 The LORD answered Moses, “Is the LORD’s arm too short? Now you will see whether or not what I say will come true for you.”
The things that have happened in my life obviously happened long after Moses, but the point remains. God has proven himself again and again. In fact, right now, I’m counting on it, its make or break. But it looks like he’s coming through yet again. (Thank you God).

Wow, had no idea he was so popular!
Amen marron. Thanks for sharing that.
I too, have been facing difficulties, but I've learned that God is greater than my difficulties and wants to prove his love and power to me over and over. Thank you Jesus.
Speaking of misquoting scripture, why is it that Days of Ezekiel is sung in so many churches and no one seems to have a problem with the words:
“And these are the days of Your servant, David
Rebuilding a temple of praise”
Might as well as sign about the days of Moses building his ark.
That’s Aaron Rodgers. His father is a chiropractor.
