I know there’s lots of controversy here about Joel Osteen. Some here have said or implied that he’s a “feel good” Christian, not a Bible believing minister. I never watch his program, don’t know much about him. He sure seems to pop up in the media a lot though.

You should know by now that if the MSM doesn’t hate a pastor with gusto, that he is no good.

Osteen’s is a candy-coated religion where Jesus is your personal genie and grants wishes.... name it and claim it...

I watch him at times and like him for the most part. Really I don't get what all the controversy here is about. What is wrong with asking for prosperity?

People complain he doesn't preach the Bible but he often quotes scripture.

He has a globe and not a cross. Does that really mean anything?

Maybe people are thinking about his style of preaching too much and reading too much into it.

It seems that some people just like to attack things others enjoy. I find him interesting and like the broadcast. That doesn't mean I always agree with him or send him money or would join his church. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

**He sure seems to pop up in the media a lot though.**

And notice how the MSM NEVER criticizes him. That is our first clue.

Osteen is the biggest phony in preaching. He has never been to a seminary and has no credentials whatsover that qualifies him to be called a pastor. The pope is making a mockery of the church. He should run those hand-waving holy roller “catholics” out the Vatican along with grinning Osteen.
