Oh by the way if the “name” stuff has you confused... in the original Aramaic this was not “Jesus” this was “Yeshua.” The word means “Savior.” Which so happens to be a title that the God of Israel took upon Himself in the bible!
Same name. And names meant something in biblical culture. They identified who you were.
Know that God is a personal savior. Ask Him for personal salvation. Personal salvation granted. If anything Osteen wasn’t bold enough!
Red, you and I both know Osteen weaseled out of answering Larry King’s question regarding the salvation of Jews and Muslims apart from faith in Jesus, and His Saving work on the cross. It really is embarrassing watching you twist yourself into a pretzel in order to defend Mr. Osteen’s watered down Christianity.
You and Mr. Osteen can spin it any way you want to, but the Bible is clear:
“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12).
“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” (John 14:6)
