Texas pastor Joel Osteen is getting his own channel on SiriusXM satellite radio, which will air his sermon at Yankee Stadium this Saturday live nationally.

That video is striking. Did you ever read the NYT bestseller, "23 Minutes in Hell" by Bill Wiese? In it he talks about a vertical tunnel he fell through that is about 35 feet wide and is apparently the gateway to hell. The width of the vertical in that video looks pretty accurate.
It’s like Moe who, imitating Hitler, sneezed his moustache off, and attempting to paste it back on declared, “Oh. My personality.”
Found it scouring the web looking for some appropriate branding for the YBPDLN Ping List.
Never read it. Might have to.
What does YBPDLN mean?
Just what is needed, another narcissistic sociopath, oh, and thief too.
Why do we have the daily reading e-mail from Joel Osteen posted by “Vision” posted on FR? They are useless; nobody posts on the threads.
I guess I’m not really opposed to this but there is a warning by the moderator will not allow criticism on a religious post. So, what’s the point?
This give one the impression that Osteen followers are non-thinking and cultish.
See post 2.

You’ll have to ask Vision
Don't get what that means.
Wedged in between “70’s On 7” and “Ozzy’s Boneyard” I presume?
I thought it fell between "LaughUSA" and "Blue Collar Comedy"?
The bible warns of “EVIL SUSPICIONS”... you might be able to figure out where such ideas come from.
Criticize a theological argument till kingdom come, offering something better in its place. But this ad hominem stuff is the cheapest of cheap shots.

RedNeck,
Since you’re interested in where “ideas come from”, care to tell us where Mr. Osteen got this idea from:
Larry King Live interview from a few years ago:
KING: What if you’re Jewish or Muslim, you don’t accept Christ at all?
OSTEEN: You know, I’m very careful about saying who would and wouldn’t go to heaven. I don’t know ...
KING: If you believe you have to believe in Christ? They’re wrong, aren’t they?
OSTEEN: Well, I don’t know if I believe they’re wrong. I believe here’s what the Bible teaches and from the Christian faith this is what I believe. But I just think that only God with judge a person’s heart. I spent a lot of time in India with my father. I don’t know all about their religion. But I know they love God. And I don’t know. I’ve seen their sincerity. So I don’t know. I know for me, and what the Bible teaches, I want to have a relationship with Jesus.

Care to explain how his waffling on Jesus being the ONLY way to eternal life is orthodox?
There is a lot of genuine theological debate about the Jewish situation, at least. We know that Christ is a member of the Godhead, so if you believe in the Godhead for personal salvation, you are also believing in Christ, however well or ill you understand Him. The big problem with Jews (and with a lot of Christians too — look in a mirror and check yourself!) is self righteousness. This cuts you off from salvation because you never accept it. The humble one who knows he needs salvation and asks God for it will get it.
And incidentally I have seen this story with Jewish people. Those who are humble enough to confess before God needing a new righteousness will eventually be shown the way to the cross. Exactly HOW they are shown, is something which too many Christian groups try to take pride in themselves about... if you don’t do it the BAPTIST or REFORMED or (for that matter) CATHOLIC way you’re damned... HOG WASH. If there is no other missionary, Christ is the missionary, but He in omnipotence can arrange for any missionary He wants.

Every time he smiles, the fires in hell get hotter by 1 degree.
We've been long-distance members of Lakewood since 2008 via the live streaming Sunday morning service (kind of like those cafe services so many churches have with services piped in).
I remember I was banned once for calling out the BS of Osteen in that daily thread. Still dumbfounded at how the FReeper has the audacity to post Osteen’s crap that would go counter to the message of God.
