There are still self-professed "Christians" who continue to promote the heresies and unbiblical teachings of Joel Osteen and his wife Victoria....
....My friends, Joel Osteen is in the position he is in because the professed Church has not called people like him out and dealt with him biblically. It's time the people of God start dealing with false teachers in a biblical manner.

This guy is the modern day Elmer Gantry and expert “flim-flam” man.
Never trust a preacher with a hundred dollar hair cut.

It is old news, what is not old news is that Joel lives in a 10 million dollar home now,
What is more important than that is that Joel was a no-show at the meeting this past weekend of pastors against the Houston mayors outrageous demands for various pastors sermons, etc. Olsteen has not said a word about that as far as I know.
Besides he doesn’t preach Christ?
Sen. Barack Obama slips up on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos and refers to "my muslim faith".
Hear it in his own words!
*Your Best Purpose Driven Life Now
I don’t know what he preaches...it’s sort of this mish-mash of abundant life and something else. I’ve heard/seen a grand total of one of his “shows” and that was it for me...I could sense there was something wrong there and I have not seen or heard him since.
Friendship with the world is enmity with God...
If there’s $$$ in it, Osteen has a prayer rug too.
So it doesn't much matter if he doesn't say anything, or if he said something 5 years ago in a completely different context, he is gonna get slammed for it. All this from other 'christians' (not sure if you claim that title or not, but plenty of other commentors on this thread do, as I understand it).
Jesus has this opponent in the bible, called 'the accuser of the brethren'. Seems to me a lot of people are on his side...and proud to be there. And I just don't get it.
Jimmy Swaggart. Remember when he fell, and fell hard. I thought a lot about that. Had I been God, one well-timed car accident (when he didn't have an 'escort') would have 'saved' both Jimmy and God's reputation. But God didn't care. God let the world (and, many 'christians') drag His name thru the mud, just to redeem one Jimmy Swaggart. I don't know exactly what happened to Jimmy, but what God did there still amazes...humbles...me. What He will allow 'his men' to do to 'His Name'...because God loves them more than His own 'reputation'.
The blind leading the blind.
Hmmmm ... Peter gives a thoroughly unequivocal answer, for which he is praised and blessed. Barry 0b0la fudges the answer ...
...said one apostate of another apostate.
Jimmy’s ministry has grown and started the SOL Network. His son Donnie and Grandson Gabriel preaches. Jimmy still preaches but not as much. I can see his ministry has been blessed. Remember even the greatest men in the bible were not perfect.
That also goes for Jim Bakker.
Now as for Osteen, his father really preached the word of God. I doubt his father would preach the way his son is doing.
The interview, which has a snippet, and may be out of context, is from....
2004.
Joel may have said some dumb stuff in the past, however, please cough up an interview from the last year of what he thinks of 0bummer. I don’t think there is one. Do you believe any pastor of a church nowadays would want to be on record saying something contrary to glowing? Does the IRS ring a bell?
This story is sophomoric at best.
Paul said, “at least it is being preached”.
Paul said, “at least it is being preached”.
Osteen preaches:
-Theosophy
- Word-of-Faith sorcery
-self help
- self love
He does NOT preach the Cross, or turning from sin.
The complete 2004 Obama interview, where he talked about his (weak, agnostic) Christian faith with a sympathetic interviewer can be found here.

Good luck with that. Vision has been pinged to several Osteen threads recently. He refuses to respond.
