FALSANI:
What do you believe?
OBAMA:
I am a Christian.
So, I have a deep faith. So I draw from the Christian faith.
On the other hand, I was born in Hawaii where obviously there are a lot of Eastern influences.
I lived in Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world, between the ages of six and 10.
My father was from Kenya, and although he was probably most accurately labeled an agnostic, his father was Muslim.
And I’d say, probably, intellectually I’ve drawn as much from Judaism as any other faith.
So, I’m rooted in the Christian tradition. I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people. That there are values that transcend race or culture, that move us forward, and there’s an obligation for all of us individually as well as collectively to take responsibility to make those values lived.
Osteen is the white Rev. Ike.
FALSANI:
Have you always been a Christian?
OBAMA:
I was raised more by my mother and my mother was Christian.
Tells me all I need to know to know Osteen is the charlatan I always suspected him of being.
Now where’s that $600K I had laying around? I know it’s somewhere around here.
The Osteens are all about the almighty dollar.
Osteen is just taking over for the late P T Barnum. With gullible people contributing around $80.000 per week to him and his wife, there are still plenty of sheep to be fleeced.
One more reason not to listen to this fraud and a charlatan. Resident Freeper should be pinged to this and maybe they stop posting the daily thread on Osteen.
Joel could be the next pope.
Lol
-He denied the exclusivity of Jesus.
-He thinks Romney is a Christian
-He thinks Obama is a Christian.
-He was a participant in the lesbian mayor of Houston’s inaugural ceremony.
Without having to view the videos, can you tell me if these are updated comments from Olsteen re: Obama. Is he currently endorsing the Messiah? Or are these things he said several years ago?
I distrust expensively dressed preachers that talk thru smiling teeth
I think we may soon see Osteen and his wife on Dancing with the Stars. They are that phony.
Obama is about as much of a Christian you can be while supporting late-term abortion. And homosexuality.
Obama is as Christian as much as I am a Hindu because I like Tandori chicken...
That’s why this heretic should be removed from “no quarrel” status immediately. To flatter an anti-Christian, muslim, monster who believes it’s ok to murder newly born babies, is absolutely pathetic.
Free Republic should immediately remove him from “religious sanctuary” and allow us to subject him to the same scrutiny that anyone else get.
This is preposterous that he’s immune to criticism. Is he just trying to get an invite to our White House? Huh? Free Republic? Huh? We deserve an answer.
And Vision will dutifully post their Joel Osteen [Devotional] later this afternoon.
It is scary that people blindly follow charlatan.
