…Osteen's message is more blasphemous. Osteen's seven million Christian TV viewers might be interested to learn that Osteen, a college dropout with no formal training, is, literally, a heretic whose message is being called “Satanic," “occult" and “antichrist" by respected evangelical ministers.

The “Word-Faith Movement," of which Osteen is the unofficial leader, uses God as a Trojan horse to sell the ancient mystic rubbish - picture it and you'll pocket it - that also drives “The Secret." But “The Secret" doesn't pretend to be a tax-exempt religion.

Osteen writes, “Perhaps you're searching for a parking spot in a crowded lot. Say, ‘Father, I thank You for leading me and guiding me. Your favor will cause me to get a good spot.'"

Creation, The Exodus, David, The Exile, Christ, the persecution of the Saints of the NT all occurred to give me that glorious privilege to call down parking places from Heaven!

If these people spent as much time talking about the love for God and not the hatred in their hearts of the Masonic order they might even have more converts.

At least God might find them more in favor.

I consider most of these Hucksters to be nothing more than charlatans duping suckers out of their money.

Wow Osteen has no degree recognized by the "World the Clergy"!

[endthematrix]

Huh?

[GOPPachyderm]

Despite his white teeth, nice smile, and ability to cry easily and manipulate people’s emotions, he’s preaching another Jesus. Not the one in the bible.

[restornu]

I don’t know I have not heard him too much I don’t have a TV!

I just don’t see where one has to have temporal sheepskin to be annoited,the Lord did not call Abraham or Moses that way!

Also Osteen seems like a positive cheerful person who makes people see things differently and motivates them even if its just for the moment.

[Terriergal]

God bought him that tie LOL what a great caption.

Actually on a real pastor, I’d probably like that tie.

[Terriergal]

who are you talking about?

[Terriergal]

Yeah, the lack of a degree is the least of my concerns.

Well, that's exactly what he is. And you don't have to be a Christian to do that. In fact, if you are a Christian, you won't be that.

The jump and shouters of course.

is, literally, a heretic whose message is being called “Satanic," “occult" and “antichrist" by respected evangelical ministers. (See, for instance, the blog of Connecticut River Baptist Church pastor Ken Silva).

YAY for pastor Ken!

[Terriergal]

jump and shouters? I didn’t see them referenced in the article.

Osteen writes, “Perhaps you're searching for a parking spot in a crowded lot. Say, ‘Father, I thank You for leading me and guiding me. Your favor will cause me to get a good spot.'"

And what if God knows that you need more exercise? Or that the closest spots contain nails or glass? Or that the person you'll park next to (in that coveted spot) will be in a big hurry and hit your car? Or that a jealous punk will key your car on his merry way past that coveted spot?

Guess the next step is to pray that your insurance will cover you...
