Considering Joel Osteen's well-documented acceptance of just about anyone who believes almost anything, it should come as no surprise that the senior pastor of the mammoth Lakewood Church in Houston believes President Obama's assertion that he is a Christiandespite his numerous unbiblical beliefs, such as "there are many paths to the same place."
Osteen's comments came in an interview with Wolf Blitzer of CNN Friday on his news program, The Situation Room. Osteen says he has been to prayer breakfasts and other events with Barack Obama and heard him express his faith, redemption and salvation.
"I just believe in my heart that he's a Christian," Osteen said. "He says he is."

To Osteen, everyone is a Christian if they are nice to everyone, or if they say they are.

There is much speculation into the mind of Judas. But it is possible that he was expecting Messiah to forcefully change the power structure in Judas's world. When it became apparent that Jesus was not going to sweep away the Roman rule, perhaps Judas thought he could force Jesus to act as he Judas expected by betraying him into Roman hands. It might explain the subsequent acts of Judas as he realized he had betrayed someone whom he admired, albeit in a wrong framework.
BTW, prior to the Resurrection there were no 'Christians, only devout Jews following their Messiah. Do you know (because I do not know the answer) whether Judas hanged himself before or after the resurrection? What a tragic ending if he did it before the resurrection, because if he had waited until the resurrection perhaps Jesus would have dealt with him similarly as He dealt with Peter and Thomas. But it is all just speculation ...

Isn’t it bizarre that we need to GUESS at the religion, background and politics of our top leader?

No, Lakewood Church was planted by another movement.
Lakewood Church was founded by John Osteen and his second wife, Dolores (Dodie) on Mother's Day, May 10, 1959, inside an abandoned feed store in northeast Houston.[5] John was a Southern Baptist minister, but after experiencing a baptism in the Holy Spirit, he founded Lakewood as a church for charismatic Baptists. The church soon dropped "Baptist" from its name and became non-denominational. From the beginning, Lakewood has been racially inclusive. By 1979, attendance was over five thousand, and the church was becoming prominent among Pentecostals and Charismatics. "

Yup, the man who say Jesus is "
A Son of God" is a Christian. Yeah, right.
IMHO, Olsteen is a fool or a liar. Or both...

i always looked at the Apostles as the 1st Christians, literally a Follower of Christ
i had always assumed(i know a VERY bad thing to do) he hanged himself pretty much right after Christ was taken away, why i think that i really don't know, so whether he knew of the Resurrection or not is an excellent question
i think prolly not though
