I won’t call his salvation into question, just whether or not he is really preaching the gospel, or just what his “flock” wants to hear.

Agreed. We have no idea if this man is being rescued by Christ, or not. What we can tell is that he teaches an insipid, unbiblical spirituality that has little resemblance to the message delivered by Paul. This may explain why 40K go hear Osteen and most towns arrested/stoned Paul.

About this whole “judging” business. Looking across the room I'm in if I say this room is 20’ across or 22’ across that is a judgment. Now my judgment may be close but it still would be just a judgment. If however I take a measure and measure the room and find that it is 22'6” that is no longer a judgment.

Once Mr Osteen’s message is measured against the Bible then it is easy to see that he is in error and the popularity of his message is rooted in the “tickling of ears” and not the Gospel.
